    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Identifies the &quot;Catholic Humanist rhetorical&quot; ideal that combines &quot;wit and wisdom&quot; in Shakespeare&#039;s &quot;As You Like It,&quot; examining ten individual scenes. Opens with background to this ideal in European humanism, especially Italian and English, including discussion of Chaucer&#039;s place in its development. Focuses on WBP, emphasizing the question of speaking authoritatively about marriage, and on the gentilesse speech in WBT (1109–215), claiming that the latter may suggest &quot;some of the virtues that make life-long monogamy both possible and enjoyable.&quot; Suggests Chaucer&#039;s &quot;sentence&quot; and &quot;solas&quot; entail &quot;wisdom&quot; and &quot;spiritual joy.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Accepts that the Anglo-Castilian politics of John of Gaunt&#039;s marriage to Constance of Castile undergird aspects of MLT, and indicates that, in the tale, &quot;erasing&quot; Iberia helps to construct a fantasy of &quot;Anglo-Roman Christian identity,&quot; while, simultaneously, &quot;alluding to&quot; it obliquely &quot;deconstruct[s] the logic of Iberia&#039;s erasure from a dynamic geopolitical world.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Focuses on the word &quot;queynte&quot; in MilT to explore the challenges translators face when rendering modernizations that are descriptively and stylistically true to original Middle English texts. Insists that to achieve the correct level of politeness or impoliteness of the original text, translators must be guided by &quot;sound philological analysis&quot; and by &quot;careful evaluation of the register of the original Middle  nglish expression.&quot; In this case, &quot;queynte&quot; is found to be &quot;explicit but not offensive,&quot; and translations that rely on euphemisms should be rejected.]]></dcterms:description>
