Reads the Canon&#039;s Yeoman&#039;s performance as a &quot;site of &#039;gender&#039; trouble&#039;&quot; similar to those of the Wife of Bath and of the Pardoner, more specifically a negotiation of &quot;contemporary ideals about moderate, obedient, and industrious masculinity.&quot; Discusses various householders and the Cook.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Words, Stones, and Herbs: The Healing Word in Medieval and Early Modern England]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Surveys medical metaphors and the rise of English vernacular writing to trace diminution of belief in the &quot;intrinsic healing quality&quot; of words. As the healing power &quot;evaporates,&quot; we find the separation of material and immaterial things, healing and piety, physician and priest, body and soul. Bishop examines Lollard vernacular works, &quot;Piers Plowman,&quot; CYT, and other works for evidence of a growing separation of verbalization and material effect and traces the outgrowths of this separation in early modern literature. She argues that CYT asserts the dangers of translation and reading as well as alchemy.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Pope Innocent III explicitly recognized the Greek letter &#039;tau&#039; as representing the form of the cross and saw it as a sign of renewal in the church.
