    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Describes the cultural landscape that underlies John&#039;s exhortation to Nicholas in MilT to &quot;Awak, and thenk on Cristes passioun!&quot; (1.3478 ff.), showing that John&#039;s extended and naïve address resonates with the &quot;affective piety&quot; encouraged in the Pseudo-Bonaventuran tradition rooted in the Latin &quot;Meditationes vitae Christi.&quot; Chaucer pokes fun at his working-class carpenter, associating him with emotion-ridden &quot;meditative modes&quot; that had recently become popular among lay (&quot;lewed&quot;) audiences in Chaucer&#039;s day, as is detailed here at length.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Invokes the medieval ideal (exemplified by &quot;Ancrene Wisse&quot;) of establishing self-identity and authority by memorizing and performing texts. The Prioress does this by &quot;over-identifying&quot; with the clergeon. Briefly considering the anti-Semitism of the tale, argues that it may be read in the context of hagiographical tradition, where all &quot;pagans&quot; are usually denounced.]]></dcterms:description>

May&#039;s successful duping of January shows that &quot;erudite rhetoric crumbles in the face of life&#039;s realities,&quot; but also makes it possible that they &quot;can find a new model for their life together.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Such usages connect January of MerT with Walter of ClT, and while neither tale challenges stereotypical roles overtly, MerT raises &quot;profound social concerns&quot; through its &quot;terming&quot; of marital status.]]></dcterms:description>
