    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Notes that the visual imagery of falling rocks and millstones Pandarus uses to convince Troilus of his future success is associated with death and destruction in the Bible, which actually undermines Pandarus&#039;s argument in TC.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Biblical Analogy and Secondary Allegory in Chaucer&#039;s The Knight&#039;s Tale]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Biblical analogies embedded in KnT constitute an implied critique of the pre-Christian setting: Palamon and Arcite&#039;s first sight of Emelye accords with David&#039;s first sight of Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11:2); loving Emelye reorganizes Arcite&#039;s psyche and morals as love of Christ revolutionized Paul&#039;s (Philippians 3:3-9); the representation of &quot;womman travaillynge&quot; in Diana&#039;s  temple recalls Revelation 12:1-2 and--as a sacramental image that both heathens and Christians would recognize--Romans 1:20.  Familiar to the audience although not to the characters, these analogies point to broader moral allegory.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer uses biblical exegesis and typology for thematic purposes.  In ClT, Griselda is portrayed as &quot;pharmakos,&quot; a &quot;figura Christi,&quot; through Chaucer&#039;s addition of biblical colorings and the typological juxtaposition of her character and actions with those of Walter.]]></dcterms:description>

Saint Paul is invoked in NPT to justify use of fables; in ParsT, to reject them.  Chaucer&#039;s own attitude is the Nun&#039;s Priest&#039;s.  Pauline ideas inform much of CT:  proper use of time, fruit-chaff metaphor, etc., in ShT, MLT, KnT, NPT, Mel, ParsP, ParsT, FrT, WBP, WBT, SumT, ClT, PardT, MLE, Th, PrT, ManT, and Ret.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Contributes to discussions of the effectiveness of SumT by describing its &quot;pattern of biblical parody&quot; centered on Pentecost, arguing that the Summoner uses the pattern to attack the claim that friars, like the apostles, &quot;have a special divine grace.&quot; The wheel image, the theme of wrath, and the alignment of anal imagery in SumP and SumT help to criticize fraternal arrogance and effectively spite the Friar.]]></dcterms:description>
