    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines the &quot;interrelation of equivocation and desire&quot; in PhyT, ClT, FranT, and WBPT, not in what the narrators and characters say, but through a &quot;movement or oscillation between opposed interests.&quot; In CT, sexual politics can be found in the ambivalences, anomalies, and complexities of language.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Applying Habermas&#039;s notion of discourse ethics, Schildgen focuses on stories in CT that are &quot;set outside a Christian-dominated world.&quot; Individual chapters include discussions of KnT and SqT, MLT, WBT and FranT, PrT and MkT, and SNT. Chaucer&#039;s inclusion of these stories demonstrates his &quot;expansive narrative interest in the intellectual and cultural worlds outside Christianity&quot; (2). They are crucial to presenting not a single, totalizing worldview but rather an &quot;environment&quot; for the exchange and ultimately unresolved debate of alternative views and value systems (125).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s use of metonymy in CT expresses his &quot;anxiety of circulation,&quot; which is traced through his references to the fragmented body and bodily functions, infection, magic, rhetoric, and translation. Shoaf examines relationships among tales, tellers, and Harry Bailly in the various fragments of CT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Poetry Does Theology : Chaucer, Grosseteste, and the Pearl-Poet]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Surveys the relationships between theology and poetry in late-medieval writing, assessing how Robert Grosseteste, the Pearl poet, and Chaucer communicate a proto-humanistic perspective, &quot;characterized by a semi-Pelagian, anthropocentric theology&quot; that is &quot;roughly Ockhamist&quot; and &quot;incarnational.&quot; This theology &quot;affirms human dignity and the sanctity of the human body.&quot; The most secular of the writers considered, Chaucer shows &quot;how theological discourse has been absorbed or internalized&quot; in his narrators. NPT shows that &quot;meaning is in the story and not in the moral tacked onto the text.&quot; PrT and SNT reflect differing views on &quot;caritas,&quot; chastity, and their interrelations. RvT seeks to redefine &quot;caritas,&quot; while PardT challenges the power of theological discourse.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Rape and Ravishment in the Literature of Medieval England]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Surveys modern and postmodern theorizing of rape and addresses rape in medieval England. Topics include secular, legal notions of rape; rape in canon law, theology, and confessional manuals (especially vernacular ones); rape motifs in hagiography (especially St. Lucy); classical paradigms of rape (Lucretia and Helen of Troy) in medieval English narratives; rape in romance, especially Malory&#039;s &quot;Morte Darthur&quot;; and rape in Chaucer&#039;s works (pp. 265-310). Chaucer&#039;s various depictions of rape reflect a very &quot;modern&quot; awareness of &quot;issues profoundly relevant to female experience.&quot; He employs classical paradigms and romance motifs, but his work never &quot;loses a sense of the real gravity of rape.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
