    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[By placing the ideological meaning of NPT within the gap between these interpretations--and thus providing a puzzle of determining the correct literal meaning--Chaucer shows his awareness of the pain and pleasure of writing in an &quot;ideological age&quot; and yet, ultimately &quot;justifies the letter by  itself, and &quot;forces&quot; us to &quot;stay&quot; within it.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Lines 878-81 of WBT have been glossed incorrectly to suggest that while an incubus would get a woman pregnant, a friar would cause only dishonor.  In fact, the tradition of the incubus is much darker, for this individual, associated with evil, had the power not only to impregnate but also to hurt severely or even to kill the intended victim and the victim&#039;s family.  Comparatively, friar damage seems relatively minor.]]></dcterms:description>
