    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Desire in the Canterbury Tales: Sovereignty and Mastery Between the Wife and Clerk]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In Lacanian terms, WBT and ClT reveal &quot;what each speaker seems most desperate to deny.&quot; Ideas of sovereignty (&quot;self-determination&quot;), mastery (&quot;control over another&quot;), and the desires they help to constitute are parallel in the Tales. So are the representations of the &quot;powerful mobility&quot; of the loathly lady and Griselda, evident in their transformations. The endings of WBT and ClT (including the &quot;Envoy&quot; to ClT) reveal how the narrators &quot;recoil&quot; from their Tales and from the &quot;structure of desire underwriting them.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Desire, Violence and the Passion of Fragment VII of The Canterbury Tales : A Girardian Reading]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Fragment 7 of CT is unified by its focus on the problem of human violence and the &quot;potential of literature to perpetrate or remedy this problem.&quot; In ShT, PrT, and Th, Chaucer shows their respective genres&#039; &quot;mythologies&quot; of violence. Mel counsels self-scrutiny as an antidote to violence, MkT suggests repentance, and NPT offers laughter.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that &quot;Desire-as-impasse is the human condition&quot; in KnT, exploring how readers&#039; &quot;reading backward&quot; from the end of the tale--seeking to fulfill the &quot;desire for signification&quot;--parallels the efforts of Arcite and Palamon to articulate their own desires and in doing so call the desires into existence in Lacanian fashion. Includes comments on rhyme riche echoes between two meanings of &quot;armes&quot; (limbs and weapons), manuscripts variants in Arcite&#039;s desire for &quot;victorie,&quot; and Arcite&#039;s awareness of Emelye&#039;s desires.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Six studies on literature ranging from Marie de France to Milton. In the chapter on Chaucer, Heyworth examines medieval cultural values and suggests that Chaucer complicates those values, particularly marriage. KnT and FranT depict the social institution of marriage as a hybrid between genuine love and a desire for power over one&#039;s spouse.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[An anthology of essays by various authors on aspects of medieval love literature. The introduction, by Paxson, discusses literary depictions of love in light of postmodern theories of the &quot;psychological, phenomenological, and gendered bases&quot; of desire. The twelve essays address aspects of love and desire in works such as Roman d&#039;Eneas, Pamphilus, commentaries on Ovid, troubadour lyrics, and the Lais of Marie de France.
