    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Rape and Ravishment in the Literature of Medieval England]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Surveys modern and postmodern theorizing of rape and addresses rape in medieval England. Topics include secular, legal notions of rape; rape in canon law, theology, and confessional manuals (especially vernacular ones); rape motifs in hagiography (especially St. Lucy); classical paradigms of rape (Lucretia and Helen of Troy) in medieval English narratives; rape in romance, especially Malory&#039;s &quot;Morte Darthur&quot;; and rape in Chaucer&#039;s works (pp. 265-310). Chaucer&#039;s various depictions of rape reflect a very &quot;modern&quot; awareness of &quot;issues profoundly relevant to female experience.&quot; He employs classical paradigms and romance motifs, but his work never &quot;loses a sense of the real gravity of rape.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
