    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Studies the intersection between the &quot;growth of parliament&quot; and the &quot;development of poetry&quot; from c.1376 to 1414, focusing on depictions of parliaments in literature. Poets such as Langland, Gower, and Chaucer had &quot;extensive parliamentary connections,&quot; and their works represent &quot;anxieties about voice, representation, and the vision of a cohesive community in a fractured world.&quot; Giancarlo examines parliamentary records and commentaries, complaint literature, Gower&#039;s &quot;Mirour de l&#039;Omme&quot; and &quot;Cronica Tripertita,&quot; Langland&#039;s &quot;Piers Plowman,&quot; and works by Chaucer. PF is a &quot;unique representation of parliamentary practice,&quot; GP and Mel reflect the language and technique of parliaments, and CT is structured in accord with the &quot;mediational dynamics&quot; of parliamentarism.]]></dcterms:description>

Discusses the figurative tradition of engendering sight as background to how Prudence in Mel is the &quot;visibly unseen&quot; part of her husband&#039;s visible masculinity. In PhyT and accounts of a court scandal concerning Elizabeth of Lancaster, women who are visibly associated with passivity consolidate men&#039;s claims to authority. BD attempts to resolve the scandal of gender&#039;s visibility through its relational construction of a memorial poetics. Crocker also includes expanded versions of previously published discussions of female invisibility in ShT and WBT (SAC 29 [2007], no. 234) and gender concerns in the Chaucerian proverbs of Harley MS 7333 (SAC 29 [2007], no. 54).]]></dcterms:description>
