    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The image of woman is the focal point for the controversy regarding the good or evil nature of the physical world.  Early Christian and Gnostic writings, selected troubadour lyrics, &quot;Gawain and the Green Knight,&quot; Malory&#039;s &quot;Le Morte d&#039;Arthur,&quot; and Chaucer&#039;s TC demonstrate the polarization of images of the feminine:  she is either positively portrayed as a spiritual guide, the source of all worth, or as the demonic temptress who can cause the ruin of entire civilizaations. ]]></dcterms:description>

The patronage networks that promoted Chaucer as a literary icon also promoted translations of the works of Pizan. Appropriation of her work through literary circles, centered on men such as Thomas Hoccleve, John of Bedford, Sir John Fastolf, Stephen Scrope, Anthony Woodville, and William Caxton, serves &quot;as a metonymy for what was specifically English about English literature.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Discusses the hag&#039;s sermon on the merits of poverty in WBT, and suggests that the knight&#039;s acceptance of the hag&#039;s poverty, and her lesson that gentilesse cannot be passed on by birth, brings with it a moral reward reflected in Christian Scripture. ]]></dcterms:description>
