    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Points out thematic parallels between Hoccleve&#039;s &quot;Male regle&quot; and PardT, such as &quot;riot and repentance&quot; and &quot;misreading&quot; of &quot;the material and the spiritual,&quot; and argues that Hoccleve succeeds in taking in Chaucerian literary resources to make his original literary achievement with unique autobiographical inclination.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines the depiction of the Pardoner in PardT as a reflection of Chaucer&#039;s own ideas about spirituality. Contends that Chaucer&#039;s portraits of the religious pilgrims in GP showcase several types of spirituality and argues that the poet seems to enjoy detailing both the vices and the virtues of members of the clergy.]]></dcterms:description>

Building upon that comparison, offers correctives for how a narrator might be used for old texts in general, and these tales in particular, by arguing that Chaucer&#039;s PhyT is not told by an unreliable narrator, but by Chaucer himself.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Looks at how SqT frames the East as stereotypically strange and familiar in order to explore the corrupting effects of &quot;vitium curiositatis&quot; (the vice of curiosity) and the beneficial possibilities of wonder. Argues that Chaucer embraces fragmented and partial knowledge, critiquing &quot;curiositatis&quot; through the Squire&#039;s narrative gaps and abrupt ending, and implying that, though wonderful and mysterious, the East can be known.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Reviews the scholarship concerning the bond between Canacee and the falcon in SqT and argues that this posthumanist bond &quot;derives from their femaleness, which for the tale-teller transcends species in favor of a gendered sameness borne of similar experiences; in particular, female experiences with figures of the opposite sex.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[With Albertanus of Brescia&#039;s &quot;Liber de consolationis et consilii&quot; as a common source, Mel and MerT both confront issues of counsel, gender, and lordship. MerT offers a skeptical, antifeminist, homosocial reassessment of the relatively optimistic &quot;Albertanian doctrines of counsel&quot; found in Mel, which also offers a positive view of femininity. In differing ways, each tale suggests that &quot;antifeminism and flattery pose special dangers to the masculine self.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

White&#039;s uses of William Twiti&#039;s &quot;The Art of Hunting&quot; as a source in &quot;The Once and Future King&quot; is similar to medieval rhetorical techniques of amplification. Exemplifies similar kinds of creative interpretation in Bernard of Clairvaux&#039;s Sermons, Thomas Malory&#039;s &quot;Le Morte Darthur,&quot; and ClT, where the narrator&#039;s &quot;exclamatory interjections are a means of amplification to address a perceived absence or fault in the affective qualities of the source material.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Suggests that Jane Austen may have known WBPT and argues that there are similarities between Chaucer&#039;s Wife and Anne Elliot in Austen&#039;s &quot;Persuasion,&quot; in that both characters &quot;note that male authoritarian writing delimits women&#039;s social standing,&quot; and that each &quot;offers textual alternatives [textiles and texts] that challenge the hegemony of male writing&quot; and urges social change in order to inscribe women in literary tradition.]]></dcterms:description>
