    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Marriage and Conversion in Late Medieval Romance]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines MLT as one of several historical and literary accounts of princesses who marry husbands of a different religion and either convert themselves or persuade their husbands to convert.  In addition to Constance, Goodman considers accounts of Clovis and Clothilde, Ethelbert and Bertha, and Floripas, the Saracen princess, from Bagnyon&#039;s &quot;Histoire de Charlemagne&quot; (1470) and its Castillian translation (ca. 1500).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Additions to MLT suggest Chaucer&#039;s concern with aristocratic power, particularly with &quot;translatio imperii.&quot;  Considered in the &quot;context of the second decade of Richard II&#039;s reign,&quot; MLT &quot;subtly legitimizes kingly authority.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Unlike modern thinkers who pose Islam as an &quot;Other&quot; in opposition to Christianity, Dante and Chaucer depict the continuities of the two religions.  In &quot;Divine Comedy,&quot; Dante disapproves of Islam but incorporates it into his cosmic scheme.  In MLT, CHaucer presents Islam and Anglo-Saxon paganism as &quot;paired marginalities,&quot; bridging the two in his use of the name &quot;Alla.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines Chaucer&#039;s two brief but similar references to the &quot;St. Anne Trinity,&quot; a portrayal of Mary, Jesus, and St. Anne in the cultural context of fourteenth-century England.  Concludes that the references in MLT and SNT represent two sides of a complex debate between those who saw the legend of St. Anne as promoting the sacred nature of marriage and those who saw it as strong support for virginity.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer Answers Gower: Constance and the Trouble with Reading]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Gower&#039;s &quot;Confessio Amantis&quot; presents Genius&#039;s tales as morally simple, although the incest stories stimulate readers to ask moral questions.  In MLT, Chaucer represents his narrator as misreading Gower, affecting a simplistically moral stance and vehemently disavowing impropriety; the poet thereby shows the potential failure of Gower&#039;s techniques to elicit a moral response.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[MilT reproduces the &quot;sadism&quot; of KnT in its assertion of heteronormativity but simultaneously resists this sadism.  In the bedroom-window scene, gender is loosened and &quot;queered,&quot; enabling readers to escape from the hegemony of masculinist and heterosexual perspectives.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Pearcy&#039;s structural approach enables us to recognize the generic markers of fabliau in nonfabliau tales by identifying dupers, dupes, and misinterpretations of signs. Two episodes in KnT reflect fabliau structures:  Arcite&#039;s reading of Palamon&#039;s declaration of love, and Saturn&#039;s reading of Arcite&#039;s prayer.  These and other aspects of KnT question the idealizations of romance.]]></dcterms:description>
