    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines fifteenth-century scribal responses to sexual language in the CT, noting that some manuscripts either replaced obscenities or added to sexual language. Observing that female narrators in the CT are restricted in their use of vernacular sexual language, Harris argues that the fifteenth-century revisions, such as those found in Oxford, New College, MS D. 314, allow these speakers a fuller use of sexual obscenity, thus &quot;privileging female sexual subjectivity and mutual erotic pleasure.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Examining Chaucer&#039;s adaptation of his sources, Calkin argues that successful conversion in the tale occurs when God&#039;s &quot;&#039;purveiaunce&#039;&quot; rather than human planning drives the endeavor, Chaucer presents a vision of cultural interaction between different Christianities, and while not an advocate of crusades, he highlights through Custance and Alla the heroism in accepting adversity and privation, which were experienced by crusading knights.]]></dcterms:description>

In the case of at least one CT manuscript (Oxford, Corpus Christi College, MS 198), the scribe&#039;s addition of glosses from an exemplar apparently received late in the copying process resulted in textual and visual inconsistencies. Two other CT manuscripts (British Library, MS Additional 35286, and Bodleian, MSS Rawlinson poet. 141) evince scribal use of additional exemplars when the originals did not serve as good design templates.]]></dcterms:description>
