    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Describes the cultural landscape that underlies John&#039;s exhortation to Nicholas in MilT to &quot;Awak, and thenk on Cristes passioun!&quot; (1.3478 ff.), showing that John&#039;s extended and naïve address resonates with the &quot;affective piety&quot; encouraged in the Pseudo-Bonaventuran tradition rooted in the Latin &quot;Meditationes vitae Christi.&quot; Chaucer pokes fun at his working-class carpenter, associating him with emotion-ridden &quot;meditative modes&quot; that had recently become popular among lay (&quot;lewed&quot;) audiences in Chaucer&#039;s day, as is detailed here at length.]]></dcterms:description>

Traces features of punning in literary history and the critical history of pun-hunting in Chaucer, showing how MilT is a &quot;medium of recipient poetics&quot; in its deployment of popular forms and verbal dexterity, a poem about the &quot;fantasies&quot; of language and linguistic plenitude.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that &quot;two medieval methods of memorializing&quot; are in tension in KnT: &quot;celebration&quot; of chivalric loss, and Boethian remembrance. Theseus&#039;s admonitions to remember Arcite &quot;leave little room&quot; for &quot;healthy&quot; mourning and reveal the limits of Theseus&#039;s and the Knight&#039;s outlooks. Boethian memory, especially as presented in Nicholas Trevet&#039;s commentary on the &quot;Consolation&quot; (and in Bo), enfigured in the imagery of the tale (especially the temples), insists upon the need for memory to be &quot;modeled imaginatively&quot; in artful mnemonics, although eventually extinguished from &quot;the minds of the living,&quot; a second death.]]></dcterms:description>
