    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Children of Anger and Revenge: Managing Emotion in Early English Literature.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Shows &quot;how the frequent conflation between anger and revenge has shaped the representations of what we might call anger management in early English literature,&quot; from representative Old English works to Shakespeare. Two chapters focusing on Mel, ClT, KnT, and the tale-telling contest &quot;explore how the discourses of patience and games are deployed to manage anger. Here, we can see how evaluation, as a principle of revenge, is strategically targeted by both discourses, each seeking to shift evaluatory frameworks.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Uses selected Arthuriana to describe the development of chivalric romance and offer a descriptive definition of the genre.

Includes analysis of CT romances, and argues that chivalric romance is the purest fiction in its non-attachment to the real and multiple layerings, both in the narrative and in its symbolic overtures.]]></dcterms:description>
