    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Identifies in medieval medicine a concern with organs and features of the human body that are &quot;grotesquely&quot; able to speak, and associates the concept with Cecilia&#039;s neck in SNT and the clergeon&#039;s throat in PrT. Through their depictions of human bodies speaking through wounds, these tales engage ideas of verbal propriety and authority, and subversively point toward the &quot;materiality of language&quot; and the &quot;sheer impossibility of proper signification.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Discusses the hag&#039;s sermon on the merits of poverty in WBT, and suggests that the knight&#039;s acceptance of the hag&#039;s poverty, and her lesson that gentilesse cannot be passed on by birth, brings with it a moral reward reflected in Christian Scripture. ]]></dcterms:description>
