    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Participatory Reading in Late-Medieval England.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Draws on modern media studies to clarify practices of &quot;participatory reading&quot; in late medieval England, exploring how vernacular authors, texts, and manuscripts elicit and/or limit the agency of their readers who engage with texts in making meaning, often in embodied ways. Attends recurrently to Chaucer&#039;s works, including analysis of his request that Gower and Strode &quot;correcte&quot; TC (V.1858) as a &quot;closed access&quot; invitation to limited participation (similarly found in Adam). Also treats &quot;non-reading&quot; in TC and WBP, and assesses the placement of John Lydgate&#039;s &quot;The Siege of Thebes&quot; in CT in relation to KnT as evidence that Lydgate &quot;grants . . . license to nonlinear readings&quot; of the works.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores &quot;links between gender ideology and money in the late Middle Ages,&quot; arguing that Chaucer&#039;s &quot;depiction of his purse as a faithless female lover&quot; in Purse reflects the &quot;cultural imaginary around money before the emergence of<br />
political economy.&quot; Moreover, modern critical studies of the poem reveal how scholars seek &quot;to distance Chaucer from the feminizing taint of both poverty and treachery.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Identifies blurred differences between &quot;seeming commerce&quot; and &quot;seeming gifts&quot; in ShT and claims that &quot;elements both of commercial transactions and gift-giving relations&quot; inhabit all of the GP characterizations, focusing on the descriptions of the Knight and Prioress before contrasting the &quot;kinds of paradox interweaving commerce and gift&quot; in KnT and PrT as well.]]></dcterms:description>

Discusses attitudes toward language in the &quot;Hypnerotomachia Polyphili,&quot; Agamben&#039;s focus; in works by Dante, Villon, and Machaut; and in TC, where Chaucer poses Criseyde as an emblem of language&#039;s constant change--a figure of love and loss and of &quot;language&#039;s history as enfolded in a past present.&quot; Comments on dreams in TC and links medieval views of language with the modern notion of rapid &quot;translanguaging.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
