    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Theorizes &quot;public interiorities&quot; in terms of literary voice, Augustinian self-awareness, and Jürgen Habermus&#039;s conceptualization of the &quot;public sphere,&quot; discussing them as expressions or perceptions of stances or outlooks that are neither universal nor individual but political and rhetorically value-laden. Comments on a range of late-medieval English texts, including a general claim that CT is a &quot;vast anthology of diverse public interiorities&quot; and, particularly, that PrT functions differently than Book 8 of Augustine&#039;s &quot;Confessions&quot; and &quot;St Erkenwald&quot; and voices the public interiority of antisemitism and &quot;unending violence.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Minnis explores medieval attempts to &quot;explain the difficult and dangerous relationship&quot; between &quot;material and spiritual economies&quot; underlying pardons or indulgences, commenting on the explanations of Albert the Great, Aquinas, and Bonaventure and examining late medieval English defense (perhaps by canon lawyer Richard Godmersham) of the plenary status of the indulgence for a pilgrimage to Canterbury. In this light, Chaucer&#039;s Pardoner is an example of &quot;rapacious greed&quot; who ignores the principles of indulgence.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[  The eight Chaucerian essays republished here have been revised for consistency.  The introduction describes how the canonization and reputation of Chaucer&#039;s works have dehistoricized much reading Middle English works.  According to Hanna, traditional presentation of Chaucer&#039;s works (and of other Middle English works) accords poorly with their presentation in manuscripts amounting to a misrepresentation of the medieval experience of encountering the works.]]></dcterms:description>
