    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that Chaucer raises questions in ClT about relations between poverty and the nature of the self, gauging the extent to which Griselda&#039;s agency, selflessness, and lack of &quot;things&quot; are factors in Walter&#039;s &quot;inhuman&quot; treatment of her, and asking whether her &quot;lack of property is a part of the reason she is so readily turned into an allegorical virtue&quot; by Petrarch and others.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Denny-Brown assesses the vacillations between sartorial richesse and rudenesse in ClT, examining the gender and class implications of Griselda&#039;s dressing, undressing, and redressing and counterpointing Walter&#039;s attitudes toward clothing and material consumption with those of his people. The Clerk&#039;s own frugality disguises a &quot;fascination&quot; with &quot;worldly, material aesthetics,&quot; and his Envoy engages his theme of dispence as well as it does the Wife of Bath. The essay also considers the reception of ClT in Lydgate&#039;s &quot;A dyte of womenhis hornys&quot; (&quot;Horns Away&quot;).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines fiction&#039;s role in shaping readers&#039; ethics: the transformation of the narrator encourages and mirrors the transformation of the reader (protrepsis).  Discusses medieval texts that theorize themselves and teach the reader how to read, positing that Chaucer, Usk, Gower, Hoccleve, and Boethius experimented with literary form (prose poems) as a way to produce ethical transformation.  Explores the intersection between ethics and aesthetics/form in Bo, TC, and CT.  CT is the most transformative (for the narrator and the reader) and self-theorizing text (&quot;literary theory in practice&quot;).]]></dcterms:description>
