    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Suggests that Griselda&#039;s excesses of bodily humiliation, self-sacrifice, and assent to contractual obligations, in response to her husband&#039;s rational program of complete control, actually represent a mystical negation of the self as subject that in turn negates the imposition  of boundaries typical of an &quot;economy of use.&quot;  Emphasizes how Chaucer&#039;s chief addition to his Petrarchan source--the narrating clerk devoted to logic--amplifies this reading of the Tale.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In the astrological setting of TC (2.54-55), Chaucer refers to Taurus as a &quot;white Bole.&quot;  The epithet probably came from Virgil (Georgics, I, 217-18), perhaps through the intermediary of Macrobius&#039; &quot;Commentary on the Dream of Scipio.&quot;  It is suggested that it was &quot;to Chaucer an obvious symbol for that in human behavior which is apparently attractive but actually ugly and destructive, specifically, unrestrained indulgence of sexual desire.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The naive, heavily repetitive, oratorical style of PrT appears to be influenced by late-medieval devotional prose written by men for women.  Broader patterns of recurrence signal oppositions in the &quot;Tale&quot; that subvert its feminine voice and its claims to authenticity.  The rhetoric of apostrophe fails to replace the absence of the subverted voice, leaving the Prioress less a character than a style.  The article includes a chart of repetitive rhetorical devices.]]></dcterms:description>

The affiliations of the manuscript reflect methodical collation; the character of its text suggests that it was copied from a working draft.
