    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Now Read on: Medieval Literature]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Recent critics of Chaucer--Terry Jones, David Aers, and others--are conventional in their desire to moralize medieval literature.  The trend of contemporary criticism of FranT, TC, and KnT, as examples, is to isolate from the story tableaux serving as subjects for moral reflection.  The open-endedness of the narrative procedure carries its own moral significance, however, and the moralizing of tableaux is to be resisted at the point where narrative loses its sense as a story.]]></dcterms:description>
