    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Land tenure laws and cloth industry figures suggest that the Wife was a bondswoman with holdings in the industry acquired from her first husband and used to attract four more and to finance expensive pilgrimages.  A bondswoman character is also supported by the fleshly nature.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Honegger argues that analyses of international forms of address would gain depth if critics considered &quot;situational&quot; factors and even &quot;competing interactional&quot; factors along with traditional considerations of ye/thou pronouns. Focuses on addresses to the gods in KnT to demonstrate such complicating factors.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Differences between eschatological and historical time in TC pose parallel differences between Troilus&#039;s personal Boethian tragedy and the epic tragedy of the fall of Troy. Similarities between Criseyde and analogous women in other siege stories (in &quot;Fouke le Fitz Waryn,&quot; John of Garland&#039;s &quot;Parisiana Poetria,&quot; and Ovidian accounts of Scylla) suggest ways in which Criseyde is a tragic precipitator of catastrophe.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Victims of lovesickness, lovers who commit suicide in Chaucer and Gower do so by stabbing themselves in the heart, an action not found in their sources. Nor is there medical precedent for regarding the heart as the central organ of the circulatory system. Love melancholy and love mania were regarded as serious medical conditions that helped to legitimate suicide within the courtly tradition. Sobecki draws examples from HF, KnT, LGW, and Confessio Amantis.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Rejects readings of MerT as &quot;savage and mordant self-revelation&quot; of the Merchant, characterizing the Merchant&#039;s wife as more similar to the Wife of Bath and the Host&#039;s Goodelief than to May. MerP is an extension of the Clerk&#039;s Envoy, the Merchant should not be identified with Januarie, and MerT is more comic and joyful than bitter. Includes hypotheses about Chaucer&#039;s sequence of composition in CT parts 4 and 5.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines the two lyrics embedded in BD for what they reflect about the relation between the narrator and the Black Knight.  Through this relation and its &quot;delicate act of self-effacement,&quot; Chaucer credits John of Gaunt for commemorating his dead wife.  On another level, Chaucer also uses the lyrics as a wry form of the humility &quot;topos,&quot; signaling &quot;the freedom of his own invention&quot; in the poem.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[SumT reflects contemporary controversy about the loss of clerical prerogative. The translation of Latin to English in the Tale, as well as its transfer of clerical authority and power to the laity, indicates Chaucer&#039;s lampooning of the posturing of the clergy in ways that go beyond contemporary Wycliffite critiques (e.g., Dialogue between a Secular and a Friar and Dialogue between a Clerk and a Knight).]]></dcterms:description>
