    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Among the handful of converted whores, Mary Magdalene is best known in late medieval writing through the homily &quot;De maria Magdalena&quot; (which Chaucer translated) and the Digby play.  These works reveal remarkably literal physicality in which carnal desire appears to merge with spiritual, as reflected in BD, LGW, Pity, and ShT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Fradenburg theorizes a new combination of historicism and Lacanian psychoanalysis and explores the medieval idea of sacrifice and its role in cultural production. Linking ethics and desire, sacrifice is a way of pursuing and prolonging desire, even though on the surface sacrifice appears to be a denial of desire. Discussion of the &quot;history of the signifier&quot; clarifies the role of signification in making sacrifice enjoyable. Individual chapters focus on psychoanalysis and historicism, BD, MkT, KnT, LGW, and TC.]]></dcterms:description>
