    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Although Astr can be read as &quot;unmarked,&quot; or neutral in relation to issues of cultural otherness, its source in Messahala&#039;s Arabic treatise and its enfigurement of the astrolabe as feminine indicate that we can and should treat it (with other seemingly unmarked texts) within the discourse of orientalism.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In LGW, if the God of Love and Alceste criticize Chaucer, they do so as representatives of a text community based on Augustinian hermeneutics.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that in the LGW account of Lucrece (a tale of enforced copulation), Chaucer uses the word &quot;myght&quot; as a noun, a verb, and a copula to suggest the ultimate triumph of the heroine&#039;s seductive rhetoric. The story is less about rape than about women&#039;s rhetorical power; it is about Tarquinius&#039;s failure as a rhetorician, for which he tries to compensate (but cannot) with physical &quot;myght.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

By doing so, he turns away from masculine literary authority to explore alternative authority based on orality and the natural world.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Twelve chapters assess why so many poets have been drawn to Ovid&#039;s Metamorphoses as a source of inspiration. Although its intrinsic richness and complexity provided the original impetus for its popularity, its permeation of so much English literature has shaped each generation&#039;s response to Ovid and lent still more resonance to his voice. Authors discussed include Spenser, Shakespeare, Marvell, Milton, Samuel Garth, Keats, Beddoes, Browning, Eliot, Joyce, H.D., and Virginia Woolf.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s reference to &quot;ferses twelve&quot; in BD remains a tantalizing problem. He may have been thinking of a non-standard version of chess, such as the Courier game, which includes twelve pawns; or the narrator may be thinking of draughts. In any case, exact definition of the game is less important that the fact that it expresses &quot;man&#039;s relationship to eternity.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
