    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[O Death, thou comest when I had thee least in mind! : Der Umgang mit dem Tod in der mittelenglischen Literatur]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Galler studies the theme of death in Middle English literature and argues against the &quot;pessimistic&quot; dictum that the people and works of the late Middle Ages were primarily concerned with the transience of life, the dominant approach on this subject since Johan Huizinga&#039;s &quot;The Waning of the Middle Ages.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Instead, Galler traces a distinctly &quot;optimistic&quot; perception of death founded on Christian salvation history, considering texts such as BD, KnT, TC, PardT, LGW, and several Middle English romances. He also discusses &quot;questions of life and death beyond Christian tenets&quot; (p. 399), examining Celtic narrative traditions and texts from classical philosophy and mythology.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[TC is best understood in terms of the tradition of &quot;discordia concors,&quot; the harmonization of opposites, which Chaucer saw exemplified in the &quot;school of Chartres&quot; and Jean de Meun.  Chaucer&#039;s profound philosophical insight, which linked the perfection of poetic form and acute delineation of character, successfully resolves the opposing values of love and charity.]]></dcterms:description>

Chapter 1, &#039;&#039;Felawe Masculinity&#039;: Teaching Rape Culture in Chaucer&#039;s &#039;Canterbury Tales&#039;,&quot; addresses how words such as &quot;swyve,&quot; &quot;wenche,&quot; and &quot;felawe&quot; help to create, in Mil, RvT, and CkT, a &quot;gendered pedagogical community&quot; that teaches &quot;men that sexual aggression is both necessary and laudatory.&quot; Elsewhere in CT the Host, Merchant, Shipman, and Mancile are complicit in this community, partially resisted in RvT and in the censoring of RvT in British Library, Additional MS 35286.]]></dcterms:description>

Chapter 3 (pp. 85-125) assesses how the &quot;discontinuous selves&quot; represented in WBP anticipate the dynamics of transformation in WBT.]]></dcterms:description>
