    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Reading the Allegorical Intertext: Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare, Milton]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Anderson considers intertextuality to be both a result of authorial intent and an inevitability of  language, assessing various kinds of influence, imitation, allusion, and citation. Allegory is a &quot;process of thinking,&quot; a kind  of metaphor that is &quot;continued&quot; or &quot;moving&quot; through plot. Allegory informs the intertextual relationships among the four  &quot;landmark&quot; authors discussed in seventeen revised or reprinted essays and two new essays (both on Milton). Chapter 7  &quot;substantially revises&quot; a 1971 essay on NPT and Spenser&#039;s Muiopotmos, and six other essays, originally published between 1982  and 2006 and here lightly revised, pertain to Chaucer&#039;s impact on Spenser.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Cites E. Talbot Donaldson&#039;s appreciation of May in MerT as an example of &quot;iconologia,&quot; sexualized analysis or penetration of art or literature.  Sexual titillation in reading is evident in medieval manuscripts and in modern responses to medieval works, perhaps helping us explore and understand a suppressed aspect of Western culture that is still with us.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Observes that the tail-rhyme meter&#039;s layout on the manuscript page alludes not to romance but to a range of other forms, including liturgical hymns, vernacular lyrics, and drama. Examining Th in these contexts suggests that the text perhaps parodies all kinds of oral performances, that the format indicates a particular type of dramatic reading, and that Th is &quot;devotional&quot; in the context of PrT and Mel.]]></dcterms:description>
