    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that the &quot;interpretive reading&quot; underlying T. H. White&#039;s uses of William Twiti&#039;s &quot;The Art of Hunting&quot; as a source in &quot;The Once and Future King&quot; is similar to medieval rhetorical techniques of amplification. Exemplifies similar kinds of creative interpretation in Bernard of Clairvaux&#039;s Sermons, Thomas Malory&#039;s &quot;Le Morte Darthur,&quot; and ClT, where the narrator&#039;s &quot;exclamatory interjections are a means of amplification to address a perceived absence or fault in the affective qualities of the source material.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Suggests that Jane Austen may have known WBPT and argues that there are similarities between Chaucer&#039;s Wife and Anne Elliot in Austen&#039;s &quot;Persuasion,&quot; in that both characters &quot;note that male authoritarian writing delimits women&#039;s social standing,&quot; and that each &quot;offers textual alternatives [textiles and texts] that challenge the hegemony of male writing&quot; and urges social change in order to inscribe women in literary tradition.]]></dcterms:description>

Interprets WBP as evidence that, in Chaucer&#039;s time, a &quot;woman, in order to claim her independence . . . has to speak of herself in negative terms.&quot; Describes oppositions between Christianity and paganism in the &quot;fairy world&quot; of WBT and suggests that the tale adumbrates later narratives in which &quot;taught argument&quot; misleads foolish or ignorant victims.]]></dcterms:description>
