    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Describes the &quot;functional similarity&quot; between medieval exempla of obedience and WBT and Gower&#039;s Tale of Florent, illustrating the similarity by discussing fair/foul transformation and inversion motifs in various exempla, and arguing that the three-stage pattern of conversion in them is inverted in the Wife&#039;s tale of the rapist knight whose &quot;predicament&quot; is a comic version of the &quot;enforced celibacy of a young religious.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that Chaucer&#039;s sensory detail in his GP descriptions &quot;rings a bell in our mind&quot;: we recognize these descriptions as modern for their emphasis on individuation rather than typicality.

Conflation or confusion of the author with the &quot;speaking person&quot; in the work results from conventions of oral delivery and dream vision, and from the irony they produce.]]></dcterms:description>
