    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses the five uses of &quot;place&quot; as a locational noun in the description of the tournament in KnT, arguing that it has a &quot;precise technical meaning,&quot; i.e., the &quot;grassy ground of the arena within the lists.&quot; This meaning is also found in Middle English descriptions of theatrical performance.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that the use of Dante&#039;s &quot;Paradiso&quot; 53 in the initial presentation of faith in PrT reflects Chaucer&#039;s sophisticated engagement with the ways humans try to articulate transcendent truth.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores the relations between emotion and identity in PrPT, observing that the presence of Jews &quot;amps up its emotional charge,&quot; particularly how it &quot;provokes--and coopts--a huge range of emotions in the service of Christian piety.&quot; Considers the saints&#039; life genre, the age of the clergeon, song, performance, and rhyme royal as intensifiers.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Characterizes Oswald the Reeve as a guiler beguiled and a &quot;judge who unwittingly judges himself by his own principles,&quot; examining aspects of GP (Miller and Reeve), MilPY, and RvPT for the ways that Oswald&#039;s retributive assault on Robin lacks disinterestedness and backfires, fails to demonstrate the justice that should inhere in his occupation of reeve, and unjustly and inappropriately impugns the Miller.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Traces &quot;the afterlife of the &#039;Romance of the Rose&#039; in fourteenth-century England, arguing that the RR &quot;exercised its influence on fourteenth-century English literature in two principal ways&quot;: 1) &quot;the development of a self-reflexive focus on how meaning is produced and transmitted&quot; and 2) concern with authorial intention and &quot;responsibility for the meaning of a text.&quot; Includes attention to Bo, PhyT, HF, LGWP, and Rom, as well as works by Langland, Gower, the Gawain-poet, and select fifteenth century authors.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Objects to Robert L. Chapman&#039;s argument that the ShT was originally intended for the Shipman, not the Wife Bath, comparing Chaucer&#039;s tale with Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Decameron&quot; 8.1 as examples of the &quot;Lover&#039;s Gift Regained&quot; motif, and showing that Chaucer&#039;s version is &quot;an important contribution to the characterization&quot; and &quot;personality&quot; of the Wife.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Challenges claims that the first-person feminine pronouns of ShT 7.11-19 indicate that the tale was originally intended to be told by the Wife of Bath, reading the lines as if they were presented in a &quot;miming male&quot; voice, and suggesting that the tale is particularly appropriate to the Shipman as a response to the Merchant, dramatization of antagonism between their two linked professions.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Shows that aspects of the late medieval &quot;pastoral program&quot; of obligating &quot;all Christians to admonish their neighbors about their sins&quot; underlies the Reeve&#039;s reproval of the Miller and the Canon&#039;s Yeoman&#039;s of the Canon. In these cases, distortions of proper admonishment, including deployment of &quot;stalke&quot;/&quot;balke&quot; imagery, indicate that the reprovers are guilty of &quot;revengeful public correction.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that the power of WBT, though it is commonly regarded as a lai,&quot; comes from an underlying subversion by the use of fabliau, which makes the tale a &quot;hybrid story.&quot; The &quot;question of what women most want&quot; has surprising affinities with the extravagantly obscene fabliaux &quot;Les quatre souhaiz de saint Martin&quot; and &quot;Les trois dames qui troverent un vit&quot;--not only in Alisoun&#039;s fabliau-like asides about friars and Midas&#039;s wife, but even in its narrative core.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Comments on how &quot;the medieval mirror and wisdom metaphor is utilized&quot; in WBP and helps to characterize the Wife, ironically, as a figure of comic &quot;worldly prudence&quot; rather than true wisdom.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores medieval theories of narrative closure in Matthew of Vendome, Geoffrey of Vinsauf, Brunetto Latini, and John of Garland to argue that if &quot;inconclusiveness&quot; is a thematic goal, the end of a work is the &quot;natural place to accent it.&quot; As an ending to the degenerative movement of fragment 1, CkT is an appropriate conclusion to several thematic patterns: characterization of females, male competition, geography, social strata, and the theme of love and courtesy.]]></dcterms:description>
