    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Singing the New Song: Literacy and Liturgy in Late Medieval England]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores how liturgical training and practice, particularly the interrelated devotional activities of singing and reading, affected literacy in late medieval England. Lay devotional ritual became separated from clerical practice, and definitions of &quot;literate&quot; shifted from &quot;repertory based knowledge&quot; to development of skills--both changes resulting in an increase in &quot;extragrammatical&quot; liturgical activity and new uses for liturgical texts. Zieman considers the impact of such practices on the apologia of &quot;Piers Plowman&quot; C.5 and on Chaucer&#039;s PrT and SNT, examining how the poets represent contemporary anxiety about public verbal production and performance of spoken and written rituals. The pairing of PrT and SNT is paralleled by Th and Mel.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Rice studies late fourteenth-century vernacular prose devotional guides, with attention to their relationship with works by Chaucer and Langland. Wycliffite writings and changes in religious discipline affected notions of how to live the &quot;best life,&quot; reflected in new guides and translations. In light of these works, Chaucer&#039;s ShT is a &quot;knowing response to intersections of lay spiritual desire and monastic discipline&quot; that focuses on &quot;confusions of material and spiritual capital.&quot; The merchant&#039;s desire for brotherhood and his closing himself in his counting room enact a longing for a monastic ideal that Daun John fails to live.]]></dcterms:description>

Neither character embodies Lollardy or Wycliffite heterodoxy, but each is radically unorthodox. The authority of the Pardoner is &quot;fallible&quot; because of his shocking abuses of sacerdotal privileges; the Wife&#039;s failings are linked to her usurpation of the rhetoric of clerical authority.]]></dcterms:description>
