    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Sovereignty.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Describes sovereignty in CT (particularly ParsT) as &quot;a legitimate means of exercising power, distributed hierarchically but founded on the idea of mutual responsibility and equality in the eyes of God.&quot; Explores how, in light of this concept, &quot;Havelock the Dane&quot; conceals &quot;beneath the façade&quot; of distinguishing between &quot;good and bad rule&quot; that &quot;politicization of life&quot; is a &quot;means of realizing power.&quot; Uses theorizations of power and sovereignty by Michel Foucault, Walter Benjamin, Giorgio Agamben, and Carl Schmitt, and applies the concept of sovereignty to historical periodization, following Kathleen Davis.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Excavations in 1919-21 reveal that Sarai, in the Volga region of southeastern Russia, was an exotic metropolis combining Byzantine and Mongolian splendor.  Its artisans produced rings and mirrors, and its Mongol warriors covered their horses with armor (hence, perhaps, Chaucer&#039;s horse of brass).  Chaucer could have heard of Sarai from Genoese travelers.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Considers ParsT in light of Lollard concern with the use of English, the themes and drama of MLE and ParsP, and the inclusion of ParsT in MS Longleat 29. Longleat indicates that lay readers used ParsT for private devotional purposes, although the original Latin material was intended to be used by priests to aid their parishioners. In the context of CT, ParsT is orthodox; yet, it reflects Chaucer&#039;s awareness of the value of the vernacular in shaping individual identity. The Parson&#039;s antagonist in MLE is the Shipman.]]></dcterms:description>

This opposition is reinforced by the creation of an intrusive narrator and a fictional audience. Schematic space functions as a principle of limitation, reinforcing the limitations in naturalistic space.]]></dcterms:description>

In the tale &quot;incest bespeaks a resistance to dominant patterns of temporality.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Draws evidence from Astr and from CT (GP, KnT, and WBPT), contrasting their differing spatio-temporal systems as &quot;handbook&quot; and &quot;fiction&quot; respectively: Astr is more &quot;proximal&quot; via first-person address, and CT more &quot;distal&quot; in its more &quot;complex discourse structure.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
