    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[An examination of three analogues--&quot;The Marriage of Sir Gawaine,&quot; &quot;The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnell,&quot; and Gower&#039;s &quot;Tale of Florent&quot;--illuminates Chaucer&#039;s handling of Arthurian motifs such as the lady&#039;s transformation and the issue of sovereignty in WBT.  Whereas Arthurian romance portrays both sexes favorably, Alison aims at a more &quot;realistic&quot; view by placing the knight in the most demeaning position she can imagine.]]></dcterms:description>

The Wife&#039;s coverchiefs serve as one of numerous signs that &quot;her life...remains in theological disarray.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[John Fowles&#039;s novel&quot;A Maggot,&quot; set in eighteenth-century England, is similar to CT in several ways, from its opening premise to its general structure as a series of &quot;tales&quot; (reconstructions of mysterious events surrounding a death) told by various characters first introduced through detailed portrait-like descriptions. The female protagonist, the &quot;Quaker Maid&quot; Rebecca Lee, revisits the debate that appears in WBT about personal experience versus written authority as a legitimate source of knowledge.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In later medieval thought, spinning women represent two often contradictory ideas: rebellion against hierarchical order and, paradoxically, Marian obedience. Citing scripture, Chaucer&#039;s Wife fuses both viewpoints in WBP. When Lancastrian mores prevailed, the spinning woman came to epitomize Lollard threats to the status quo. Lydgate&#039;s and Hoccleve&#039;s spinners lack Chaucer&#039;s toleration.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The interpolated story of Midas&#039;s wife evokes Ovidian concern with poetic judgment and suggests Chaucer&#039;s perspective on the differing attitudes of the hag and the knight toward love and marriage.  Complex Ovidian  echoes imply the failure of Midas&#039;s wife to understand the significance of his preference for Pan&#039;s music over Apollo&#039;s, and, by extension, the Wife&#039;s failure to acknowledge a more cosmic view of love and poetry than the purely experiential one she espouses.]]></dcterms:description>
