    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[John C. Hirsh&#039;s proposed emendation of &quot;wo man&quot; to &quot;woman&quot; in MLT 847 is probably unwarranted.  Consideration of manuscript evidence, as well as syntax and cultural context, render Hirsh&#039;s reading implausible.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Wife of Bath (the female counterpart of the &quot;senex amans&quot;) stands in opposition to the Husband-Merchant in MerT.  They are &quot;mercantile figures of similar status and class,&quot; the Wife involved in production, the Merchant in export.  Each sees sex as a commodity; each is skeptical of clerical doctrine. ]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Undercutting &quot;traditional marriage theories,&quot; each addresses &quot;questions left unanswered by clerical theoreticians.&quot;  Though she is a promiscuous, tyrannical stereotypical Archwife, the Wife gains sympathy through the sincerity of her effort to accomodate her natural sexuality within &quot;the hostile framework of the medieval church.&quot;  The Merchant, by contrast, is repulsive.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Encourages separation of teller and tale in interpreting CT, reading MerT in light of its sources but not MerP. The narrator of the Tale identifies more with Justinus than with January and shows &quot;a measure of sympathy&quot; for May. In this way the Tale is inconsistent with the attitudes toward husbands and wives found in MerP, which was written &quot;in all probability after the tale itself.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Decameron&quot; influenced MerT deeply, even though it may not be the primary source of the plot. The characterizations of MerT (especially the &quot;mental blindness&quot; of January) are more like those in &quot;Decameron&quot; 7.9 than those in Matthew of Vendome&#039;s &quot;Comoedia Lydidae,&quot; a possible source for both later tales. As well, details in &quot;Decameron&quot; 2.10 may have influenced January&#039;s potions and aphrodisiacs.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Proposes that &quot;upon the viritoot,&quot; often glossed as &quot;to be astir,&quot; actually means &quot;fairy toot,&quot; a common topological expression from England.  This second meaning suggests that Gervase the smith, speculating on why the angry Absolon has appeared to him in the middle of the night, is comparing the latter to a &quot;nocturnal sentinel, on the lookout.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

In this view, Chaucer anticipates the &quot;new men&quot; of the Renaissance.  &quot;Enditing&quot; was to Chaucer a courtly, affirmative art, not a transcendental one.]]></dcterms:description>

The mother in PrT is called &quot;this newe Rachel,&quot; but Rachel was a Jewish mother lamenting the massacre of Jewish babies by a Gentil ruler.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The statement that the fox &quot;thurghout the hegges brast&quot; into the barnyard, which does not accord with the earlier description of the yard as surrounded by a fence and a dry ditch, is perhaps best accounted for as a narrational paraphrase of the name of one of Renart&#039;s sons in &quot;Le Roman de Renart&quot; and so offers evidence that the latter is one source of NPT.]]></dcterms:description>
