    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Thisbe Out of Context: Chaucer&#039;s Female Readers and the Findern Manuscript]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Excerpted from Chaucer&#039;s LGW and thus lacking a narrative frame, the Legend of Thisbe in the Findern manuscript leaves room for the assumption that the manuscript&#039;s female readers saw Thisbe &quot;as simply a victim.&quot; The excerpt&#039;s codicological context, however, suggests that its readers were well attuned to the commentaries on &quot;the discourses of &#039;fin&#039; amors&#039; and medieval misogyny&quot; in which LGW participates.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Coletti compares HF with Christine de Pizan&#039;s &quot;Livre du chemin de long estude,&quot; exploring their differing comments on and responses to their shared literary culture. Through parallel narrative gestures, the two poets consider textual authority, reader responsiveness, political roles of their art, vernacularity, and gender. The early Tudor association of the works is indicated by their inclusion in Richard Pynson&#039;s Boke of Fame (1526).]]></dcterms:description>

Chaucer effectively uses three levels of word pairs: native, foreign, and combinations of native-foreign.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Confession and Resistance: Defining the Self in Late Medieval England]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Centers on medieval self-definition rather than subjectivity and studies examples of Wycliffite lay instruction. The Lollards rejected auricular confession and emphasized personal contrition for sin. Lollard pastoral texts disrupted traditional discourses of self-definition by distinguishing discursive strands - narrative vs. pastoral language - that had been linked in earlier texts. The relationship between confession and creation of the medieval self is more complicated than is generally recognized (in the tradition of Foucault), and readers should resist prioritizing the confessing self, which causes &quot;the perpetuation of . . . the &#039;antimonies&#039; between self and other and individual and society.&quot; Chapter 3 discusses the Parson of GP and ParsT.]]></dcterms:description>
