    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Textual Subjectivity : The Encoding of Subjectivity in Medieval Narratives and Lyrics]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Spearing counters the assumption that all medieval narration implies a narrator. Medieval literature is permeated with subjectivity, but it is often &quot;subjectless subjectivity,&quot; better compared to painting than to oral storytelling. Similar to twentieth-century experiments in disembodied perception, medieval fiction was just beginning to explore the possibility of representing unified consciousness.]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examination of linguistic phenomena, such as deixis, shows how subjectivity is encoded in medieval lyrics and narratives, even though it is not represented as the product of a unitary speaking voice. Spearing considers TC, MLT, and Pity, as well as other works of Middle English literature.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[TC includes references to animals through frequent analogy and extended imagery, but these are often generically inappropriate. Dreams about animals are largely unexplored. Comparison of Troilus to the horse Bayard not only emphasizes the hero&#039;s animal nature but also raises the horse to the level of rational being, suggesting the commonality of beings on earth.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Earlier critics, led by Kittredge, read the poem as a consolation for John of Gaunt, embodied as the Black Knight;the dreamer is naive and childish.  Recently, however, Robertson has denied the view of &quot;courtly love&quot; some see in the work.  Instead, when viewed in the light of medieval literary theory, the poem is no literal reflection of John of Gaunt; rather, the knight is the &quot;erring will&quot; and the dreamer &quot;reason.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
