    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Suggests that &quot;traditions of witchcraft&quot; are &quot;the source of some of the language and . . . part of the motivation of the dispute&quot; between the Friar and the Summoner, adducing late-medieval associations of friars and sorcery and the Summoner&#039;s diction and references to demons in his rejoinder to the Friar.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Focuses on Chaucer&#039;s selection and arrangement of exempla drawn from Jerome&#039;s &quot;Adversus Jovinianum&quot; to argue that Dorigen&#039;s complaint (4.1367-456) is a &quot;carefully shaped and molded passage of rhetoric designed to illuminate the character of Dorigen, the nature of her marriage, and the Franklin&#039;s idea of marriage; and to set the stage, in indecision, for the tale&#039;s two succeeding decisions which convey the &#039;moral&#039;&quot; of FranT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Challenges the theory that ShT was originally intended to be narrated by the Wife of Bath, and suggests a major emendation:  moving lines 7.5-19 (which include first-person feminine pronouns) later in the tale and having them spoken by the merchant&#039;s wife rather than the narrator. Contrasts the characterizations of the merchant&#039;s wife and the Wife of Bath, argues that the tale is appropriate to the Shipman, and surveys critical history of the assignment of the tale.]]></dcterms:description>
