Such tales reflect the notion of the daughter moving from temporary resident of her father&#039;s house to her husband&#039;s family unit as a &quot;foreigner.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer possibly intended for Mel to be a take-it-or-leave-it kind of work. Its storyline was extremely familiar in the fourteenth century, and its very presence within CT made a statement.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[There is little or no archival or topographical evidence to suggest that the Prioress&#039;s convent of St. Leonard&#039;s Priory in Stratford-at-Bow profited from houses of prostitution in Southwark. Bordellos existed along the Thames (and were duly taxed and fined), but St. Leonard&#039;s profits (and those of other religious institutions with property in the area) came from legitimate rent and raising fish.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses Chaucer&#039;s relation to Dante as one of &quot;palpable disbelief&quot; in the Italian&#039;s claims for authority about the afterlife and God&#039;s judgments. In MkT and HF, Chaucer adapts Dante to establish a more worldly and more skeptical sense of poetry. Cooper argues for 1384 as the date of composition for HF and suggests that Dante is, ironically, Chaucer&#039;s &quot;man of gret auctorite&quot; (HF 2158).]]></dcterms:description>

The process of therapy in BD confronts and deconstructs the &quot;faultline&quot; of noncontradiction in Western thought, enabling the reader to see beyond this &quot;gendered, linguistic, and metaphysical bar.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
