    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Imagining an English Reading Public, 1150-1400]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Describes late medieval efforts to &quot;formulate vernacular languages that could stand in for Latin grammar as a first and paradigmatic &#039;habitus&#039;,&quot; i.e., as a rule-based discipline of the mind that shapes cognition and moral action. Dante, the &quot;Ormmulum,&quot; Matthew Paris, Wycliffite translators, and William Langland offer alternatives to the traditional Latin &quot;habitus&quot; and seek to contain the ways that their readers read, shaping and serving emergent, nontraditional reading populations. The volume concludes with an epilogue on Astr: Chaucer legitimates English as an alternative to Latin in &quot;explicitly political terms&quot;; he enjoins &quot;the people of England to defer to their superiors and govern their inferiors,&quot; replacing the Latin habitus with an English courtly version.]]></dcterms:description>
