    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Pardoner should be read not as a real person but as an allegorical figure. Modern discussions overemphasize the Pardoner&#039;s sexuality and distort the fact that hints about his sexuality prepare for the more important concern with his ecclesiastical abuses. The Prologue to the &quot;Tale of Beryn&quot; indicates that the Pardoner was a womanizer.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s Pardoner is the ultimate &quot;confidence man,&quot; a mask layered over the persona of the character and the authorial voice.  Yet, his very distance from the other pilgrims provides him a kind of opennes.  For purposes of contrast, and to emphasize both the open and the closed nature of this character, Chaucer places him between the Host and the Summoner.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[ParsPT and the GP description of the Parson reflect &quot;concerns over the limits of late-medieval pastoral language.&quot; While the GP Parson suggests Wycliffite emphasis on Scripture, one finds a more orthodox view in ParsPT, with its focus on self-reformation through penance. The &quot;disunity&quot; of ParsT--an innovative vernacular articulation of contrition combined with a traditional catalog of sins--shows Chaucer exploring issues of language and lay instruction prompted by Wycliffite discourse.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[By assigning his English translation of Raymund of Pennaforte&#039;s &quot;orthodox&quot; yet &quot;contritionist&quot; &quot;Summa de poenitentia&quot; to the Parson, Chaucer subtly resists the emphasis on oral confession to priests that characterized the doctrine of penance of his day.
