    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Reads the &quot;Tale of Beryn&quot; and Lydgate&#039;s &quot;Seige of Thebes&quot; as acts of resistance to Chaucer&#039;s dissolution of his fiction in the meditation that is ParsT.  These continuations of CT seek to keep alive the drama of CT through visualization, a form of &quot;curiositas&quot; that shares features with the visualization necessary for successful meditation.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Mentions MLT, PrT, and ClT in the larger context of gender and blood in medieval culture. McCracken argues that gendered cultural values are &quot;mapped onto blood and that cultural values are inscribed into a natural order.&quot; Compares Chaucer&#039;s MLT with &quot;Le Roman du Comte d&#039;Anjou,&quot; which makes an implicit connection between the &quot;polluting blood of parturition and the supposedly non-noble blood of the mother,&quot; suggesting that Chaucer&#039;s reference to monstrous birth refers to the &quot;contested lineage and rituals that define the impurity of childbirth.&quot; Bibliography and index.]]></dcterms:description>
