    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Seeks to complicate--even replace--the figure of Father Chaucer with Child Chaucer, examining children in Chaucer&#039;s works, along with figures of childishness, playfulness, and childlikeness, exploring the poet&#039;s uses of and resistance to traditional categories and expectations of age in order to disclose the agency of children and their productive vitality. 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:title><![CDATA[Writing on Skin in the Age of Chaucer.]]></dcterms:title>
    <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>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Departs from purely functional or allegorical approaches to the whelp in BD by situating the narrative&#039;s portrayal of canine-human relations within the field of critical animal studies. Establishes the role of the whelp in rectifying human dysfunction by focusing on problems of identity and communication and drawing on literary, as well as sociological, frameworks (e.g., modern prison rehabilitation programs). The uncanny communicative bond between whelp and dreamer reveals a &quot;motion away from subhuman singularity and toward humane community.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Analyzes the aesthetics of medieval romance in light of the philosophies of G. W. Leibniz, Immanuel Kant, and Hans-Georg Gadamer, exploring and explaining the &quot;pleasurable seriousness&quot; (for modern and medieval audiences) of the &quot;Lais&quot; of Marie de France, Jean d&#039;Arras&#039;s &quot;Melusine,&quot; &quot;Sir Orfeo,&quot; &quot;Sir Gawain and the Green Knight,&quot; TC, and several of the CT. Reads Troilus&#039;s final perspective in TC as from an &quot;epistemically possible world,&quot; backdrop to his experiences of Criseyde as a woman who seems to come &quot;from a different world&quot; (as Melusine does). FranT presents the beauty of romance, WBT subjects the genre to serio-comic investigation, ClT threatens it with allegory, and CYT undermines its transformative possibilities.]]></dcterms:description>
