    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[MerT, particularly its marriage encomium, was influenced by exegetical treatments of Eve as &quot;helper,&quot; drawn from the Augustinian tradition and from Albertanus of Brescia. Chaucer rewrites these two divergent strands, reverses their interpretations of male and female bodies, and uses their commentaries on Eve, female rationality, and feminine advice to posit a political meaning.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Although Chaucer&#039;s &quot;circle&quot; has generally been considered wholly masculine, it may well have included contemporary women such as Joan of Kent. Joan was a prosperous and powerful woman, an interceder and a mediator: a model for a character such as Prudence in Mel. A careful reading of the household registers for women in this category might provide a different context for Chaucer&#039;s works: a &quot;clearer and better shaped image&quot; of his circle.]]></dcterms:description>
