    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Building on recent studies related to space and epistemology, this study argues that Chaucer, as well as the &quot;Pearl&quot;-poet and author of &quot;The Cloud of Unknowing,&quot; take a pedagogical stance in their writing and &quot;proffer a space from which or by means of which the audience may see and understand.&quot; Knowledge through imagination, or analogy, works alongside knowledge via reason, or metaphor; in either case, understanding is predicated on measurement or motion.
