    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Observes that ClT sets its view of marriage in opposition to WBPT, suggesting that this reflects Chaucer&#039;s familiarity with Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Decameron&quot; and inspired &quot;the reversal of Griselda&#039;s gender&quot; in two early modern English plays, analyzed here: &quot;The Pleasant Comedie of Patient Grissil&quot; by Thomas Dekker, Henry Chettle, and William Haughton; and &quot;The Honest Whore, Part I&quot; by Thomas Middleton and Thomas Dekker.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Draws on debates about slow cinema to suggest how ClT evokes a &quot;slow eco-aesthetics&quot; with an ethical impact. Based on the notion that medieval pilgrimage texts evoke a slow aesthetic, the strategies of slowness and patience in the tale of Patient Griselda are assessed as fundamentally ecocritical.]]></dcterms:description>

She reinforces her &quot;covert silence&quot; with body language, and her &quot;naying [of] Walter&#039;s ye&quot; resonates in the figure of Echo in the Envoy to ClT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores how medieval romances convey stereotypes that &quot;often appear as a feature of tales of identity in which the male subject position of active self-affirmation is partly developed in relation to female figures&quot; of vulnerability. Includes comments on how, in ClT, &quot;Griselda&#039;s Christ-like and Job-like qualities give her a masculine authority and an actively complicit role in her testing which disturbs the gender politics of wifely submission to a husband&#039;s will.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
