    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Treats WBT as an &quot;expression of her personality,&quot; focusing on the &quot;matter-of-fact&quot; tone of the tale, its humor, and its &quot;tolerant sexual irony.&quot; However, Chaucer undercuts &quot;her views and reactions&quot; ironically, particularly in the pillow lecture of gentilesse which is &quot;commonplace and laboured,&quot; followed by a &quot;sentimental&quot; conclusion.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that &quot;it may well be&quot; that Chaucer&#039;s use of the verb &quot;take&quot; in Thopas 7.795 is parodic, meaning &quot;inclination or attraction (towards)&quot; rather than &quot;attach oneself (to)&quot; in a &quot;binding relationship&quot;--the latter sense evidently intended in &quot;Sir Launfal.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
