    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Conduct Shameful and Unshameful in &#039;The Franklin&#039;s Tale&#039;]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Interrogates post-Enlightenment understandings of shame, and argues that in FranT shame negotiates continua rather than dichotomies (men/women, courtly love/marriage, and public/private). Read in light of conduct literature, Arveragus&#039;s claims and actions expose the &quot;gender asymmetries in companionate marriage,&quot; while Dorigen&#039;s complaint, by mimicking devotional programs, defers shame and she acquires &quot;a queer female masculinity.&quot; The Franklin is &quot;an effective but feminized manager of shame,&quot; and the &quot;affective labor of shame&quot; in his Tale regulates &quot;selves within the middling household.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Surveys the cultural impact of &quot;Omnis utriusque sexus,&quot; and shows how Chaucer, Gower, and Hoccleve used &quot;confessional discourse&quot; to help construct subjectivities in their works. Comments on ParsT as the &quot;best known confessional manual in Middle English,&quot; and explains how in CYPT the Canon&#039;s Yeoman&#039;s &quot;subjectivity is located at the intersection of confessional discourse and that of alchemy, creating a tension from which he cannot escape.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Confession and Resistance: Defining the Self in Late Medieval England]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Centers on medieval self-definition rather than subjectivity and studies examples of Wycliffite lay instruction. The Lollards rejected auricular confession and emphasized personal contrition for sin. Lollard pastoral texts disrupted traditional discourses of self-definition by distinguishing discursive strands - narrative vs. pastoral language - that had been linked in earlier texts. The relationship between confession and creation of the medieval self is more complicated than is generally recognized (in the tradition of Foucault), and readers should resist prioritizing the confessing self, which causes &quot;the perpetuation of . . . the &#039;antimonies&#039; between self and other and individual and society.&quot; Chapter 3 discusses the Parson of GP and ParsT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Focusing especially on love and fortune, Chaucer introduces to English literature the theme of male friendship in conflict with heterosexual love.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores the relation of gender and the genre of romance in Chaucer&#039;s CT, especially the mutually defining and delimiting power of the two categories. Women conform to the particular roles romance carves out for them, while the genre is simultaneously limited by these restricted female roles. Defined by a uniquely &quot;vague set of generic criteria,&quot; romance mimes the position of women in the romances themselves. Chaucer questions the role and position of women and tests the limits of romance, a form that appears to be coterminous with femininity itself.]]></dcterms:description>
