    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Applies &quot;register-theory&quot; to PardPT to demonstrate Chaucer&#039;s &quot;Gothic&quot; juxtapositioning of various kinds of discourse. Jeffrey examines the mode, domain, topic, and tenor of the discursive units in PardPT and suggests that the characteristic variety of CT can be laid clear through such analysis.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Jenkins surveys scriptural, Latin patristic, Anglo-Saxon, and late-medieval English representations and appropriations of mysticism, arguing that &quot;medieval indeterminacy&quot; is in many ways epistemologically and theologically grounded in mysticism. Includes discussion of Pearl in comparison with BD as, respectively, failed mysticism and mockery of mysticism. Also reads TC as a &quot;satirical parody&quot; of motifs drawn from mysticism that leads its audience to &quot;true spiritual desire.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Focuses on the occupatio that addresses Emelye&#039;s ritual ablutions in the temple of Diana. Discusses the way Chaucer identifies different modes of seeing--all-inclusive panoramic vision vs. the privileged view of the voyeur--with the Knight&#039;s staging of his own narratorial power and the specific politics of chivalric culture.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Who Murdered Chaucer? A Medieval Mystery]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A biography and social history of Chaucer&#039;s final years, focusing on Henry Bolingbroke&#039;s Lancastrian overthrow of Richard II and the political and social turmoil from which the usurpation resulted and to which it contributed. The book presents Thomas Arundel, Archbishop of Canterbury, as a key figure, both in the political arena and in efforts to suppress CT for its scandalous depictions of the Church.]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Obscurities surrounding Chaucer&#039;s death may indicate that Arundel&#039;s suppression was effective, perhaps deadly to Chaucer himself. The study assesses &quot;censorship&quot; of the illustrations to the Ellesmere manuscript and reads ABC, ParsT, and Ret as Chaucer&#039;s responses to suppression. Reprises suggestions by early biographers that Chaucer may not have died until 1402, perhaps finding temporary refuge in Holland.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Traces the history of the motif of infernal punishment in the devil&#039;s anus, suggesting that the earliest evidence of the motif is found in the &quot;Seven Heavens Apocryphon&quot; of Irish visionary tradition and that Chaucer&#039;s use of the motif in SumP derives from this tradition, perhaps inflected by the &quot;Visio sancti Pauli.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

The meanings range from &quot;calculation&quot; to &quot;moderation.&quot; Generally, Chaucer&#039;s distinction between good and evil is based on a practical point of view.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Karras surveys depictions of female commercialized sex in the English late Middle Ages. It is difficult, she suggests, to separate kinds and degrees of prostitution, because prostitution was regarded as an &quot;extreme case&quot; of the general sinfulness of female sexuality. Chaucerian examples include the Wife of Bath and the wives in ShT, CkT, and ManT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[CT accommodates apparently conflicting forms of address and confusions of narrative, dramatic, and expository genres. Chaucer manipulates a number of Northrup Frye&#039;s &quot;radicals of presentation,&quot; allowing perpetual reinterpretation through the overlay of what had usually been considered quite distinct radicals of presentation.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Modern notions of the &quot;key role of materiality in allegory,&quot; as theorized by Walter Benjamin and echoed by Paul de Man, have clear precedents in patristic and medieval commentaries on allegory and supposition, although the sense of &quot;material&quot; is more broadly construed in medieval thought. In PardPT, Chaucer explores the materiality of allegory, the random contingency of reference, and the self-referential nature of the allegorical mode.]]></dcterms:description>

Criseyde internalizes the anti-feminist &quot;logic of disease&quot; and names herself the &quot;infective other.&quot; Troilus&#039;s &quot;love-sickness mimics the progress of a viral infection&quot; and leads--in his &quot;apotheosis&quot;--to a cure only when his body leaves the &quot;earthbound cycle of contagion.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Piety and pathos heighten the impact of PrT and promote the narrator&#039;s reputation for religious correctness, yet all aspects of her Tale are undermined by pointlessness. Greenwood argues that the Tale is dialogistic and Menippean; a satirical subtext emerges out of the contrast between polysemia and aporia of expressions of feelings, on the one hand, and clarity and factual exposition, on the other.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores the semantic and cultural background of the word &quot;elvysshe&quot; as applied to alchemy in CYT (8.751, 8.842). Like elves, alchemists were secretive, elusive, liminal figures, distrusted and associated with transformation. Though modern editors gloss &quot;elvysshe&quot; metaphorically, its literal sense is applicable, indicating Chaucer&#039;s disillusionment with the scientific potential of alchemy.]]></dcterms:description>
