    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines the righteous-woman-on-trial-motif in &quot;The Earl of Tolous&quot; and its relation to Susanna (Daniel 13) and to medieval romances involving the same motif. By exploiting narrative structure, shifting perspectives and the differing perceptions of characters and audience, &quot;Earl&quot; draws a more complex character of the heroine than its analogues and replaces their conception of virtue with a more pragmatic ethics.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Maintains that MLT represents cultural and textual transmission through a network of premodern media: voices, texts, bodies, culture, human actions, and nonhuman forces---media which represent an alternative to the hegemonic, institutional, and linear &quot;translatio studii et imperii.&quot; The Christian culture Constance transmits flickers from noise to signal, indicating medieval cultural mobility, and suggesting that &quot;mediation&quot; is a condition of life.

Establishes that Chaucer&#039;s sultan in MLT represents more of an aesthetic cosmopolitan than do his analogues in Trevet and Gower, who portray cosmopolitanism as a means of &quot;advanc[ing] the universal expansion of orthodox Christian belief.&quot; Suggests that Chaucer questioned the success of a cosmopolitan world.]]></dcterms:description>

Argues that, from a Freudian perspective, Absolon is obsessed with oral pleasure and compares MilT to KnT, comparing Absolon to Palamon and Arcite. Also compares Absolon to Gawain in &quot;Sir Gawain and the Green Knight&quot; and Th. Ultimately, reads MilT as critiquing medieval drama and its Mariolatry.]]></dcterms:description>

In KnT the motifs of &quot;perilous vision and toxic sexuality&quot; that inhere in legends of Thebes and Amazonia combine with imagery of pestilential vision associated with plague in various treatises, emphasized by association with Saturn&#039;s malevolent gaze.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Documents how editors&#039; presentation of CT as a sequence of fragments is misguided and encourages that the description be abandoned.

Teases out three narrative threads by means of &quot;compilational construction.&quot; The KnT-MilT-RvT-CkT and the KnT-SqT-Th threads dismantle the relevance of the courtly ideal as a relevant construct in the sociopolital milieu of late fourteenth-century London. The KnT-FranT thread disrupts this pessimism with a partial reinstatement of courtly imitation as productive of social harmony but fails to right the balance entirely.]]></dcterms:description>
