    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Studies aspects of &quot;mystical non-mysticism&quot; in Chaucer&#039;s poetry. Explores the &quot;nomenclative impotentiality&quot; of the narrator&#039;s &quot;non-self-naming&quot; in HF, 1873–82, and his &quot;unknowing&quot; elsewhere in the poem. Comments on the Black Knight&#039;s tearless sorrow in BD as &quot;paramystical,&quot; and argues that in Chaucer&#039;s works &quot;the Canon&#039;s Yeoman figures most clearly the dark relation between Chaucer&#039;s poetry and the labor of mystical becoming.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that giants can represent the lost prehistory of the masculine body and therefore figure its present and dangerous instability. Six chapters and an introduction focus on the English Middle Ages. Chapter 4 (pp. 96-118) discusses Chaucer&#039;s Th, arguing that by translating the familiar battle against the giant from romance into comedy, Th diminishes the sexual threat that the giant encodes.

Focuses on characterization of the pilgrims, especially the Host, and their professional antagonisms, personal motives, and self-revelation. Categorizes the pilgrims by &quot;three stages of dramatic development or three techniques of characterization: simple suiting of tale and teller; suiting of tale and teller, &quot;plus an externally motivated dramatic situation&quot;; and suiting of tale and teller, external dramatic motive, plus &quot;internally motivated and extended self-revelation of which the teller is not fully aware.&quot; Includes a portrait of each character discussed, line drawings by Malcolm Thurgood.]]></dcterms:description>
