    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Development of the Wife of Bath.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Proposes several &quot;distinct stages&quot; in Chaucer&#039;s development of the &quot;magnificent individuality&quot; of the Wife of Bath, focusing on his uses in WBP of source material drawn from Jerome, Theophrastus, Deschamps, and others. Assumes that the Man of Law originally told the &quot;Tale of Melibee&quot; and that the Wife originally told ShT--the narratives being reassigned when Chaucer developed the Wife first sketched in the GP but before he further shaped the character by assigning to her the WBT. Includes suggestions about how the development of the Wife affected themes and sequencing of other tales--ClT, MerT, NPT--and how the so-called &quot;additional passages&quot; of WBP deepen the character, and how glosses in the Ellesmere manuscript indicate intentions for further development.]]></dcterms:description>

Identifies skeptical attitudes on free will, predestination, salvation of righteous heathens, the afterlife, and God&#039;s tolerance of evil in works such as TC, LGW, KnT, and FranT, and argues that they reflect Chaucer&#039;s sympathy for doubters of orthodoxy.]]></dcterms:description>
