    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Nun’s Priest in &quot;The Canterbury Tales.&quot; ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Emphasizes the role of Harry Bailly in Chaucer&#039;s characterization of the Nun&#039;s Priest, reading &quot;broad irony&quot; in NPE, despite its limited manuscript support. Addresses many of Harry&#039;s comments throughout Part 7, focusing on how the Host&#039;s displeasure with MkT underlies his interactions with the Priest in NPP and NPE, and arguing that NPT evinces agreement with Harry&#039;s disapproval of the Monk. Overall, reads the Priest as physically weak and somewhat fawning in his agreement with the Host&#039;s sentiments (including antifeminism) but otherwise intelligent and well-educated. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses &quot;various appearances of the narrator&quot; in CT to &quot;determine how far the narrator can be taken as a contribution to our knowledge of Geoffrey Chaucer.&quot; Comments most extensively on GP and ThP, with attention to first-person pronouns, and on similarities between the CT narrator and those of other works by Chaucer, concluding that in CT &quot;Chaucer does not seem to have been much interested in his narrator, much less to have been trying to express through him his own personality.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Suggests more broadly that an &quot;English manual for parish priests&quot; such as Richard&#039;s thirteenth-century work may be a source for the ParsT.  ]]></dcterms:description>
