    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Temporal and Spiritual Indebtedness in the Canterbury Tales]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores the themes of debt and indebtedness in CT, showing how they are established in GP and how throughout the work attempts &quot;to manipulate obligations to one&#039;s own advantage&quot; result in &quot;superficial or ambivalent success.&quot; Material advantage often reflects spiritual indebtedness. Focuses on the themes in WBP, PardT, ShT, and FranT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses the &quot;relevance and importance&quot; of the Decameron to the study of CT, considering evidence of Chaucer&#039;s knowledge of Boccaccio&#039;s work and the ways the two works reflect similar and different &quot;cultural agendas.&quot; Comparison of shared motifs and tales reveals differences in the &quot;sitedness&quot; of individual tales--differences in the status of tales as personal or class-based expression.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines the complexity of anticlericalism. Clerical figures are prominent in the works of both Boccaccio and Chaucer, but CT redirects the potential disruption of anticlerical complaint away from dissent and toward self-evaluation. Georgianna gives sustained attention to FrT and PardT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Surveys interactions between women&#039;s speech and silence, on the one hand, and generic conventions, on the other, in KnT, WBT, ClT, MerT, FranT, and ShT. Chaucer variously confirms or complicates the expectations about female speech embedded in the genres of romance and fabliaux.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer and the Rhetoric of Justice]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Situates Chaucer&#039;s attitudes toward law and legal process in late-medieval thought, discussing statute law, legal procedures of resolution by love, and Italian, Thomistic, post-Glossarian philosophy of law. Tale-telling and pilgrimage represent two different kinds of legal contract. In Mel, Chaucer suggests that humankind must negotiate tensions within the law in ways that reflect the natural law of love.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s Pilgrims : The Allegory]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Cullen&#039;s third volume on CT claims the work is an allegory reflecting Chaucer&#039;s preoccupation with astronomy/astrology. The Pilgrims, who congregate at sunset, correspond to the constellations and planets-celestial &quot;pilgrims&quot; traveling across the sky. The Canon appears later and departs like a comet. Chaucer was concerned with the end of time, although he shows that the date of the final day &quot;cannot be discovered by the mind of man; it&#039;s a waste of time.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Despite differences in genre, these narratives include a father who &quot;constructs the circumstances in which he could marry his daughter.&quot; Pointedly excluded from consideration in MLP, paternal incest posed in ClT (between Walter and his daughter) is covered over by allegorical interpretation--much as it is disguised by clothing in Emaré and in the Dympna legend.]]></dcterms:description>

Rather, he uses fiction to figure theology by inscribing the difficulties of figural reading and moral analysis within the Tale.]]></dcterms:description>

Longsworth explores several biblical references in WBP and their exegetical backgrounds to show how the Wife, even while more accommodating than confrontational, depicts textual authority as &quot;anything but disinterested.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
