    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Characterizes the Wife of Bath through a sustained, appreciative summary of and commentary on WBP and, more extensively, WBT, showing that &quot;Comic exaggeration is her forte, but tempered by delicate play and a fatal aim, the more precise for being matchlessly fun.&quot; Focuses on the rape motif in WBT, the Wife&#039;s rhetorical interruptions to her narrative, relations between WBT and its three English analogues, the pillow lecture, and conventions of the courtly tradition as found in Arthurian romance, Andreas Capellanus, and &quot;Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Responding to the Clerk&#039;s view of Lombards, the Merchant reflects late-medieval English malice against Italian commercial competitors, especially Pavians, who were associated with usury.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Development of the Wife of Bath.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Proposes several &quot;distinct stages&quot; in Chaucer&#039;s development of the &quot;magnificent individuality&quot; of the Wife of Bath, focusing on his uses in WBP of source material drawn from Jerome, Theophrastus, Deschamps, and others. Assumes that the Man of Law originally told the &quot;Tale of Melibee&quot; and that the Wife originally told ShT--the narratives being reassigned when Chaucer developed the Wife first sketched in the GP but before he further shaped the character by assigning to her the WBT. Includes suggestions about how the development of the Wife affected themes and sequencing of other tales--ClT, MerT, NPT--and how the so-called &quot;additional passages&quot; of WBP deepen the character, and how glosses in the Ellesmere manuscript indicate intentions for further development.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Gauges the extent and depth of Chaucer&#039;s philosophical and theological skepticism in comparison with the views of some of his contemporaries--Wycliff, Langland, Gower, Julian of Norwich, and more. Identifies skeptical attitudes on free will, predestination, salvation of righteous heathens, the afterlife, and God&#039;s tolerance of evil in works such as TC, LGW, KnT, and FranT, and argues that they reflect Chaucer&#039;s sympathy for doubters of orthodoxy.]]></dcterms:description>

The authenticity of Ret is generally accepted in modern criticism and the poem may reflect Chaucer&#039;s &quot;anxiety&quot; or an unresolved tension between his ascetic and humanistic inclinations.]]></dcterms:description>
