    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that humor and multiple points of view make Chaucer&#039;s work essential reading in the &quot;polemical atmosphere&quot; of the present time. Contends that readers must pay careful attention when interpreting Chaucer&#039;s frequent ambiguities, reversals, and moments of stasis; yet, final judgments concerning, e.g., Chaucer&#039;s use of &quot;ascaunces&quot; (as if), are often impossible. Emphasizes how a looseness in description, characterization, and connections between tales and tellers fosters an atmosphere of toleration for contemporary readers of Chaucer&#039;s works. Focuses on CT, WBT, BD, PF, and TC.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[If reading is a transformative act, then Griselda&#039;s unwavering &quot;reading&quot; of Walter as a loving husband ultimately transforms him so that Walter&#039;s will conforms with hers. Thus, her association with the Clerk (especially as aligned against the Pardoner, who rejects the moral implications of his own tale) is apt. ClT demonstrates the moral power and importance of acts of interpretation, which can both find and plant good, even where no good was intended.]]></dcterms:description>

Argues that, from a Freudian perspective, Absolon is obsessed with oral pleasure and compares MilT to KnT, comparing Absolon to Palamon and Arcite. Also compares Absolon to Gawain in &quot;Sir Gawain and the Green Knight&quot; and Th. Ultimately, reads MilT as critiquing medieval drama and its Mariolatry.]]></dcterms:description>
