    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Gauges the Pardoner&#039;s attitude toward his Canterbury audience, including the Host. In PardP, he reveals how he usually treats his audiences, then insults the pilgrims by leveling differences in PardT. Like Faus Semblant of the &quot;Roman de la Rose,&quot; the Pardoner is a hypocrite, but his techniques effectively capture the pilgrims and the reading audience in moral ironies.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s Pardoner and Gender Theory : Bodies of Discourse]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines the Pardoner as an example of the &quot;fixities and fluidities of fourteenth-century discourses about gender.&quot; Potentially subversive, the Pardoner is also a patriarchal figure and &quot;anxious to assume the signs of a phallic and authoritative masculinity.&quot; Chaucer&#039;s presentation of these conflicts is similar to much discourse about the Rising of 1381. Sturges establishes three kinds of discourse latent in the Pardoner material: the sexed body, gender construction, and erotic practice. Although the three were not separated in Chaucer&#039;s time, and though they are not continuous in the Pardoner&#039;s material, they make possible a &quot;chain of associations&quot; through which a &quot;cultural Imaginary&quot; can be identified.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Combines psychoanalysis, ethnography, and &quot;queer theory&quot; to examine pilgrimage, travel, and specific locations as narrative devices that undermine and assert masculinities in CT, especially those of the Pardoner, the Host, and the Knight in the &quot;alehouse scene&quot; of Part 6. Female gender performance is not similarly destabilized by travel and location in Chaucer&#039;s poem. Legassie draws comparisons and contrasts from various pilgrimage accounts and from the Guild Hall memorandum concerning the John/Eleanor Rykener trial; also challenges notions of the &quot;liminality&quot; of travel.]]></dcterms:description>

Patterson suggests an approach that &quot;interprets the symbolic structure by reference to discourses that are [. . .] contemporary to Chaucer,&quot; identifying the Pardoner&#039;s &quot;sodomy&quot; as &quot;simony&quot; and the Old Man as Despair, as well as an Oedipus figure.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Builds on previous readings of PardT that identify its descriptions of food, especially bread and wine, as part of its parody of the Christian mass and Eucharist. Demonstrates that Chaucer uses specifically Wycliffite terms when referring to food and the body. The Pardoner&#039;s sacrilegious imagery includes not only desecrations of Christian ritual but attacks on the very body of Christ. Concludes that the effect of the Pardoner&#039;s performance is to &quot;evoke in the reader or listener a Christless world, violate, broken by sin.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
