    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Identifies several previously unnoticed biblical allusions in SumT: &quot;narratives of divine wrath against false prophets, gift giving in apostolic ministry, and miraculous healing, all of which enrich the tale&#039;s comic irony and sharpen the satiric attack.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Surveys the &quot;literary context&quot; of FrT and shows that in his discussion of demons (1447–1522) Chaucer uses Vincent of Beauvais, Thomas Aquinas, and &quot;the broad cultural sediments of local revenant belief.&quot; Also suggests that the possibility that the demon in the tale has usurped a human corpse engages prevailing themes of appearance versus intention, &quot;spiritual and material economics,&quot; and mercantilism.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that the Wife&#039;s non-congenital deafness signifies not spiritual deafness, but damage done to her by the contents of Jankyn&#039;s book, which she, ironically, destroys. Compares Alison&#039;s interpretations of Scripture in WBP with those of Jerome in &quot;Adversus Jovinianum,&quot; identifying the &quot;flawed&quot; techniques of both and suggesting that, perhaps, &quot;the authorities are not so authoritative.&quot; Includes comments on medieval understanding of deafness.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assumes that the loathly lady in WBT is a witch, and maintains that she is &quot;stigmatised in the poem to enforce the medieval discourse that appreciates nurture against nature, obedience against revolt, and youth and beauty against old age and ugliness.&quot; The rapist knight is a figure of patriarchy, which the loathly lady ultimately accepts.
