    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that PardT and ShT, juxtaposed but not linked in the Ellesmere manuscript, implicitly embed Crucifixion imagery toward a critique of materialist values. By positioning the &quot;human incapacity to &#039;see&#039; spiritually against glimmering signs of God&#039;s real presence,&quot; PardT alludes ironically to the mass and Christ&#039;s torture, while ShT sexualizes familiar iconography of Mary and John at the Commendation of Jesus. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines Chaucer&#039;s stanzaic and metrical dexterity in TC, discussing how and with what effects he bridges stanza breaks and how he creates emphasis through repetitions, rhyme pairs, caesuras, enjambment, narratorial disavowals, and shifting of climax within rhyme royal. Acknowledges the role of reading aloud in perceiving such emphases and suggests that &quot;special and pivotal emphasis&quot; resides in the final lines of stanzas, particularly in the metrically stressed syllable that precedes the caesura in final lines.]]></dcterms:description>
