    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that PF offers an &quot;innovative model of species uncertainty&quot; that aligns with posthumanist rejection of human specialness. The poem evokes and challenges the dualism of Scipio&#039;s dream, offering alternatives in the animism of the tree catalogue and the totemism of the avian hierarchy. None of the three ontologies stands authoritatively and their uncertainties are reinforced by the multisensory details of PF, the performability of the poem&#039;s ending, and the antirationalism of the dream vision.]]></dcterms:description>

Using romance discourse to express religious orthodoxy, the Prioress challenges patriarchal &quot;Latinate institutions,&quot; evident by contrast with Richard Rolle&#039;s works, but she reduplicates the violence of both romance and orthodoxy. Compares the Prioress&#039;s challenge to those of the Wife of Bath, and contrasts her violent orthodoxy with that of the Second Nun. ]]></dcterms:description>
