    <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[Explores Chaucer&#039;s strategy of satire in WBPT, arguing that in its concern with interpretation and discursive insensibility it is fundamentally similar to the anti-mercantile satire of MerT, ShT, and MLT. Reads the Wife in &quot;a London context,&quot; associating her with guild-class silkwomen, and hypothesizes Chaucer&#039;s series of revisions to the Wife of Bath materials (including the manuscript glosses), which reduces mercantile concerns to those of gender and marriage while maintaining effective satire of the merchant estate.]]></dcterms:description>
