    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The romance, reflecting a male dominated society, depicts heroines as stereotypically as the less popular fabliau depicts lower class women.  Later literature gives more access to women&#039;s lives, particularly middle class ones.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Because they were not subject to fathers or husbands, widows posed a challenge to dominant views of women in late fourteenth-century England.

Often &quot;themeless,&quot; with an &quot;associative rather than systematic&quot; structure, the form is heavily illustrated with exempla.
