    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores how &quot;latent Marian maternal elements&quot; inform a range of late medieval texts, focusing on how the devotional ideal of &quot;imitatio Mariae&quot;--rooted in Mary&#039;s &quot;inimitable biology&quot; as virgin and mother--informs Marian imagery and echoes in Margery Kempe, Middle English lives of mystics and saints&#039; legendaries, and Chaucer&#039;s Marian works. Chapter 5 addresses how the presence of ABC and PrT in manuscripts containing other Marian texts encourages &quot;matricentric&quot; reading of Chaucer&#039;s works, while Chapter 6 considers how Marian material in SNT helps to make Cecilia a &quot;metaphorical mother.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Argues that the bottom-kissing scene in MilT shows that knowledge can be acquired sensorially, and how its diction of taste (&quot;sweete,&quot; &quot;savourly&quot;) &quot;invites readers to reflect on what kind of narrative they consider to be in good taste.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
