    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Draws on modern media studies to clarify practices of &quot;participatory reading&quot; in late medieval England, exploring how vernacular authors, texts, and manuscripts elicit and/or limit the agency of their readers who engage with texts in making meaning, often in embodied ways. Attends recurrently to Chaucer&#039;s works, including analysis of his request that Gower and Strode &quot;correcte&quot; TC (V.1858) as a &quot;closed access&quot; invitation to limited participation (similarly found in Adam). Also treats &quot;non-reading&quot; in TC and WBP, and assesses the placement of John Lydgate&#039;s &quot;The Siege of Thebes&quot; in CT in relation to KnT as evidence that Lydgate &quot;grants . . . license to nonlinear readings&quot; of the works.]]></dcterms:description>
