Argues that, in light of the 1382 Statute of Rape, WBT &quot;diagnoses how masculine distinction and privilege underwrite their own impossibility&quot; and how the presentation of desire in WBPT warns &quot;against overvaluing gender difference as an interpretive scheme.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Ptolemaic universe of MLT should have a still center, but neither this Tale nor the CT as a whole seems to reflect &quot;a single interpretive order.&quot; Thematic and tonal threads pull in different directions, as if the Tale harbored an anticipation of today&#039;s highly speculative &quot;string theory,&quot; which &quot;admits the possibility of a multiverse in which numerous concurrent realities (of reader-responses) can coexist.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that MLT and MLE are &quot;fundamentally concerned with the transmission of affect.&quot; The tale &quot;dramatizes how affect operates as a physical force that realigns individual and collective identities,&quot; while the narrator&#039;s style, combined with pilgrims&#039; responses to the tale in MLE, &quot;models how affects can leap between narrative worlds and between communities.&quot; Through the Tale and responses, Chaucer tests &quot;possibilities for how readers might be moved,&quot; provoking modern critical &quot;disputes.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
