    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Jones considers language and its ability to represent reality in Th-MelL, arguing that unlike post-structuralist thinkers (such as Richard Rorty), Chaucer retains the &quot;traditional distinction between history and fiction&quot; even while cognizant of their overlappings.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The debate between Prudence and Melibee is the struggle for &quot;maistrie&quot; between husband and wife. Learned and sophisticated, Prudence exhibits &quot;feminine powers of persuasion.&quot; She changes from being &quot;humble and respectful&quot; to being &quot;impatient,&quot; &quot;authoritative,&quot; and even &quot;angry,&quot; until she is clearly dominant and has attained her goal of persuading Melibee not to seek revenge.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In MkP, the Host associates the Monk with a sacristan or cellarer. Norsworthy surveys historical cellarers and the role of the cellarer according to the Rule of St. Benedict, connecting bad cellarers with MkT. The Monk&#039;s narratives pertain to tyrants and devourers who are supposed to be cared for (e.g., Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar), or they represent the sad plight of the victims of bad governors (e.g., Ugolino).]]></dcterms:description>

Chaucer&#039;s alignment of homosexual and heterosexual issues in the Marriage Group and his presentation of the Summoner as bisexual are &quot;coded means for inscribing&quot; a forbidden topic in the Ricardian court, where imputations of Richard&#039;s relations with Robert de Vere were both known and kept secret.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[ClT reflects aspects of Richard II&#039;s life and philosophy of kingship--and perhaps Chaucer&#039;s fanciful solutions to Richard II&#039;s political dilemma of an heirless realm: divorce or a consort advisor. The insistence on &quot;obedience to authority&quot; in ClT mirrors Richard&#039;s growing concern with disobedience as &quot;the greatest affront to a ruler&quot; and acquires &quot;very real political associations for its Ricardian readers.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Similarities between the women and their treatment at the hands of their husbands (divorces) would have prompted Chaucer&#039;s immediate audience to &quot;reflect on the political situation&quot; in England.

The title was &quot;unusual&quot; and &quot;short-lived&quot; in Chaucer&#039;s experience. Olson summarizes de Vere&#039;s career and notes points of comparison with Walter.]]></dcterms:description>

Rooted in the same myth, the stories imagine alternatives to patriarchal culture as well as dramatizing wifely obedience and female rivalry. Long surviving as popular ballads, they show how little sensibility changed with the rise of the Renaissance.]]></dcterms:description>
