    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Observes parallels between WBT and the narrative of the matriarch Sogolon in the African (Mandingo) epic &quot;Sundiata.&quot; Each includes a quest, a knowledgeable old hag, shape-shifting, and a version of rape.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Both Jerome and Chaucer follow Paul in deploying &quot;provocative women&quot; to dramatize contemporary controversies over who may interpret scripture. The Wife of Bath performs exegesis even as she effectively likens her husbands to &quot;exegetes whose sins discredit their sermons&quot;; however, her comedic embodiment of the literary &quot;unruly woman&quot; neutralizes any threat to domestic and institutional hierarchies.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Analysis of typical scholarly and critical comment on GP reveals that the common practice of assuming a context for the pilgrims&#039; daily lives has some unsatisfactory consequences.  Chaucer creates a fiction of travel to free the pilgrims from the contexts, physical and moral, that would encourage the reader to make such restrictive judgments.]]></dcterms:description>

Plato, Claudian, Boethius, and especially Ovid distinguish between true and false fictions on the basis of whether legend is used to recognize cosmological order or to promote experiential desires.  This perspective,evoked by allusion in MerT, indicates that all the voices of MerT are insufficient, trivializing the spiritual function of marriage.]]></dcterms:description>
