    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines Caxton&#039;s deletions from his first to his second edition of CT, showing that most of them were &quot;bawdy spurious verse.&quot; Argues that the deletions evince Caxton&#039;s awareness of Chaucer&#039;s own &quot;ribaldry&quot; and that—not concerned with obscenity per se—he was anxious to present only the poet&#039;s own works.]]></dcterms:description>

The Merchant&#039;s &quot;inability&quot; to gloss allows him to reveal May&#039;s fornication &quot;unmodified by the illusion words create.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines relations between theology and economics in FrPT and SumPT (with glances at WBP and PardPT),  focusing on the polysemous implications of debt, and suggesting that these tales are &quot;key source texts&quot; for modern &quot;economic theology&quot; (Weber to Agamben) that traces capitalism to Christianity, where &quot;the penitential system operates as a bureaucratic economy,&quot; dependent upon &quot;quantification and the imposition of debt&quot; that must--but can never--be paid.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Nicknames for geometric propositions occur in TC (&quot;dulcarnon,&quot; &quot;flemyng of wrecches&quot;) and one seems to be at play at the end of SumT (&quot;figura demonis&quot;), where the squire&#039;s &quot;natural&quot; solution to the problem of dividing the fart opposes the supernatural causation that operates in FrT. The opposition between natural and supernatural causation helps to unify Part 3 of CT and reflects the contemporary concerns of some Lollards and intellectuals, such as Nicholas of Oresme.]]></dcterms:description>
