    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Investigates &quot;premodern &#039;vertue,&#039; or the embodied excellence that enables women&#039;s ethical action in vernacular English poetry between 1343 and 1623.&quot; Focuses on &quot;material virtue&quot;--the &quot;natural potencies of physical bodies&quot;--rather than on habit-, volition-, or rule-based ideas of virtue, exploring how this material perspective &quot;changes what it means to be human,&quot; particularly as evident in representations of &quot;female excellence&quot; in literary characterizations, medieval to early modern. Includes discussion of women in conduct literature, saints&#039; lives, and romances, with particular attention to select works by Shakespeare, Spenser, Henryson, Lydgate, and Chaucer (TC, LGW, MLT, and ClT).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Reveals how the common, generally lower-class forenames in the &quot;Visio Anglie&quot; portion of Gower&#039;s &quot;Vox clamantis&quot; reinforce the &quot;degraded, bestial character&quot; that Gower attributes to the rioters of 1381. Because the names could apply to animals or to humans, both &quot;human and non-human dimensions are visible&quot; in the allegory. In addition to pointing to a general social collapse, these names place the rebels in a &quot;conceptual borderland&quot; between bestial and human. Study sheds light on Chaucer&#039;s animal names, including &quot;Colle&quot; in NPT and the Summoner&#039;s ability to cry &quot;Watte&quot; (Walter/rabbit) in GP.]]></dcterms:description>
