Considers motifs of speech, speechlessness, original sin, education, nascent erotic desire, and the &quot;queer temporality&quot; of wise children and childish adults in Chaucer&#039;s corpus, addressing an extensive variety of works, and attending to major and minor characters, allusions, literary relations, the portrait of Chaucer in MS Bodley 686, the &quot;tumultuous age-conscious sociopolitical milieu&quot; of Richard II, and medieval and modern notions of childhood.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Includes nine essays based on presentations at the 2014 New Chaucer Society Nineteenth International Congress in Reykjavík. Sets up a theoretical framework for the exploration of &quot;the textuality of human skin&quot; and &quot;the relations between text, parchment, and skin,&quot; which includes parallels between parchment-making and skin transformations, parchment as an intersection of the human and the animal, and parchment and human skin as sites of identity production. The volume is organized into three parts: &quot;Reading Diseased Skin,&quot; &quot;Textual Skins,&quot; and &quot;Writing Dermal Identities.&quot; In the Afterword, Elizabeth Robertson focuses attention on the materiality of skin and connects the essays to thematic concerns in cultural and theological studies such as the abject, death, queer and transgendered identities, and the theological linking of the &quot;word&quot; and flesh. For six essays that pertain to Chaucer, search under Writing on the Skin in the Age of Chaucer under Alternative Title.]]></dcterms:description>
