    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Considers the Pardoner in PardT as an &quot;exemplary figure&quot; of what Walter Benjamin argues is a defining trait of modernity: the eclipse of religion&#039;s sacralizing capacities by capitalism, which, like the Pardoner&#039;s sales pitch, intensifies guilt rather than offering atonement. In this, the Pardoner is not only a prophet of modernity but its neighbor.]]></dcterms:description>
