    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Discusses the intersection of death, money, and elements of the Catholic mass in PardT. In the wake of the plague, the mass became closely associated with death because of the spreading practice of saying masses for the souls of the dead. The rioters&#039; parodic performance of the mass, including partaking of poisoned (thus substantially altered) wine, &quot;attempts to subvert as it mimics&quot; the ritual of the Eucharist.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines echoes, resemblances, and differences between the evocations of Lucretia in LGW, BD, and CT, and German painter Lucas Cranach&#039;s portrait (1513) of the Roman paragon of wifely virtue. References to Chaucer&#039;s poems, its ancient sources, and the sensuous pictorial representation reveal how the image of Lucretia evolved from the mythic, classic icon to a more realistic, erotic figure. Argues that she morphed, through the prism of male imagination, from an ancient archetype of near saintly perfection, to a prototype of the new woman in the Renaissance.]]></dcterms:description>
