    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Identifies food-chain predation and ecosystemic competition as formal elements of animal fables; then examines these dynamics in NPT, the Rat Parliament of Langland&#039;s &quot;Piers Plowman,&quot; and their respective allusions to the Uprising of 1381 and to the English Parliaments of 1376 and 1377. Though varied, the two narratives capitalize on their animal-fable genre to critique hierarchical power, assert the value of laboring commons, and advocate political counsel rather than rebellion.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that Mel and Langland&#039;s &quot;Piers Plowman&quot; share common features that derive from medieval school texts: axioms and proverbs, recurrent attention to the &quot;Distiches of Cato,&quot; and citational and translational practices grounded in school exercises. In these ways, Mel is Chaucer&#039;s most &quot;Langlandian&quot; text and, though Chaucer lends it credibility by assigning it to his Canterbury persona, he might well have assigned it to his Plowman.]]></dcterms:description>
