    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores the &quot;ideological work&quot; of children in Chaucer&#039;s literature, commenting on Sophie in Mel, Virginia in PhyT, Maurice in MLT, and Lewis in Astr. Treats the latter as a metonym for vernacular readers and for the potential of technological learning (also found in the brass steed of SqT) through which Chaucer projects an image of &quot;Englishness&quot; that &quot;coalesces around paternal love and technological learning&quot; and depends in part upon the sufficiency of Oxford to emulate or replace Rome in a national imaginary.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines the last stanza of TC, the first three lines of which are translated almost verbatim from Dante&#039;&#039;s &quot;Paradiso&quot; (14.28-30), and argues that the ending not only affirms Chaucer&#039;s debt to Dante, but is crucial for an understanding of the poem.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Discusses psychoanalytic aspects of melancholy and subjectivity in several medieval texts, including BD and PrT. The &quot;logic of identification&quot; in BD signals that &quot;melancholia might be seen as more open-ended than a pathology constantly teetering on the edge of sinfulness,&quot; while PrT &quot;paranoiacally [sic] attributes its repressed aggression towards [the clergeon] onto the Jews rather than ever identifying that aggression as an aspect of its own desire.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
