    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Although some falconers were female, the activity of training (often female) falcons is highly gendered. The necessity of the falcon to be tamed is paralleled in the need for Emelye in KnT to submit to heterosexual marriage, and for Canacee in SqT to be &quot;managed&quot; by powerful males.]]></dcterms:description>

While religious and political documents decried the immorality inherent in sumptuous clothing and attempted to restrain the behavior of individuals wearing stylish garments, writers (including Marie de France, Heldris of Cornuälle, the &quot;Gawain&quot;-poet, and Chaucer) reimagine fashion-savvy aristocrats as models of morally sound behavior in a pedagogical program advanced not by preachers but by poets.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[HF, TC, and CT more commonly represent shame (an exterior phenomenon) than guilt (an interior one); in dialogue with late medieval penitential theology, they suggest the narrative invisibility of guilt. HF and TC tackle the plausibility, in pagan contexts, of shame without guilt. KnT and PhyT correlate communal representations of honor with the necessity of sacrifice to efface communal shame. WBT, FranT, and Mel posit shame&#039;s redemptive role in romance. PardT plays an embodied narrative shame against the narrative breakdown of guilt-representation in ParsT.]]></dcterms:description>
