    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Becoming Human: The Matter of the Medieval Child.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Studies the ontogeny (rather than ontology) of medieval western humanness, focusing on gestation, birth, childhood, and the social and cultural coming-into-being of the child. Links various aspects of &quot;posthumanist, ecological, and materialist thought,&quot; and locates medieval antecedents to postmodern questions and theories of humanness and becoming. Examines a variety of medieval objects and texts, with particular attention to Middle English poetry, including discussion of &quot;literary miniaturization&quot; and childishness in Th and PrT; toys and science in Astr, and the dining etiquette and cultural materialization of the Franklin&#039;s &quot;table dormant&quot; (GP 1.353). ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Compares Arveragus&#039;s sending of Dorigen to her tryst with Aurelius with the analogous scene in Bocaccio&#039;s &quot;Filocolo&quot; and argues that in FranT the husband is concerned with public honor, a reflection of the Franklin&#039;s own outlook that Arveragus is a &quot;perfect husband,&quot; a notion undermined by Chaucer in subtle ways. Arveragus regards Dorigen as a &quot;trophy wife,&quot; is disinclined to ask questions about the tryst, and seeks to maintain the status quo. Also considers other source materials, and suggests that lines 999-1000 be read between 1006-07, where they occur in ten manuscripts.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Treats Chaucer&#039;s major narrative poems as &quot;oral script(s)&quot; presented to a &quot;small and courtly audience,&quot; offering sustained readings that reflect the poems&#039; tensions between authority and experience (or &quot;pref&quot;) and address concerns of poetic freedom and human freedom. Each of the frames of the dream poems sets its narrative persona against traditional material in profound and comic ways simultaneously. TC transforms Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Filostrato&quot; to emphasize the narrator&#039;s submission to poetic tradition and the characters&#039; struggles with social conventions. LGW lays clear the gaps between poetic theory, poetic practice, and audience responses. CT poses variations on human and poetic struggles to deal with constraining forces. The volume attends recurrently to differences between the factors involved in shaping medieval and modern responses to experiencing and understanding Chaucer&#039;s narrative poetry.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This study of madness in Middle English literature generally mentions Chaucer only in passing, but includes a brief discussion of a &quot;pedestrian and highly traditional account of Nebuchadnezzer&quot; in MkT. Clearly based on the Book of Daniel, the account is marked &quot;by several factual errors&quot; and &quot;clear echoes&quot; of the commentary tradition; it&#039;s &quot;dullness and conservatism are pardonable only if they are seen as an attempt to fit tale to teller.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
