    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The interpolated story of Midas&#039;s wife evokes Ovidian concern with poetic judgment and suggests Chaucer&#039;s perspective on the differing attitudes of the hag and the knight toward love and marriage.  Complex Ovidian  echoes imply the failure of Midas&#039;s wife to understand the significance of his preference for Pan&#039;s music over Apollo&#039;s, and, by extension, the Wife&#039;s failure to acknowledge a more cosmic view of love and poetry than the purely experiential one she espouses.]]></dcterms:description>

Comments on the Eagle as a figure of Jupiter&#039;s messager, its associations with gospel lecterns, and its origins in Dante and Boethius.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines allegorical, typological, eschatological, and pathetic registers and word play in PhyT, showing how Chaucer thematizes violence and cultural forms that would valorize it. Pitcher compares Chaucer-s rendering with that in the &quot;Roman de la Rose&quot; and argues that the image of the wolf (ll. 101-2) applies to Virginius. Within the framework of CT, the Tale indicts the family as an institution of violence.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that Chaucerian biographers and critics have both been horrified by the rape of Cecily Chaumpaigne and depicted it to reenforce Chaucer&#039;s masculinity. Traces how these critics and authors have fashioned Chaumpaigne into a courtly lady, whose presence makes Chaucer a better man.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer uses Wycliffite discourse sympathetically in order to &quot;satirize church corruption which the Pardoner represents,&quot; particularly the literal understanding of Scripture and allegories. The Pardoner&#039;s treatment of Scripture aligns with the views of anti-Wycliffites, such as William Woodword, William Butler, and Thomas Palmer; his vexed sexuality is tied to the &quot;problem of hermeneutics.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Balanced between the robust comedy of the Miller and self-defeating vice of the Pardoner, the Wife perches between truth and deception, or &quot;more precisely,&quot; between &quot;disclosure . . . and concealment of her nature.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
