    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores how Chaucer, Gower, Spenser, Shakespeare, Aemilia Lanyer, and other writers &quot;appropriate conventionally misogynistic figures to rethink radically the ethical and political capacities of personhood, and therefore justice, in society.&quot; Includes comparison of WBT with Gower&#039;s &quot;Tale of Florent&quot; and &quot;The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnell&quot; to show how these loathly-lady narratives comment on the &quot;limitations of individual autonomy in society-building&quot; by &quot;shunting the notion of compromised subjectivity onto women in general and the loathly lady in particular.&quot; In WBT &quot;class conflict is pitted against gender conflict to apologize for a rapist.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Negotiating Violence at the Feast in Medieval British Texts.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From Elmes&#039;s abstract: &quot;Making use of theoretical underpinnings from anthropology and history that characterize the feast as a culturally essential event and medieval violence as a rational and strategically-employed tool of constraint, coercion, and manipulation, I convert the essentially historical question of the cultural importance of feasts into a literary one by close reading feasting scenes and their aftermath in order to consider how the writers in medieval England used the motif of violence at or following the feast to illuminate, critique, and offer correction to social, political, and religious issues tied to the specific concerns of justice, loyalty, and treason within a community. Looking at texts ranging from the Anglo-Saxon epic &#039;Beowulf,&#039; the Welsh &#039;Mabinogion,&#039; and Latin &#039;Historia Regum Britanniae&#039; to chronicle-based works by Geoffrey Chaucer and John Gower, the Middle English Arthurian romances &#039;Sir Gawain and the Green Knight&#039; and Sir Thomas Malory&#039;s &#039;Le Morte Darthur,&#039; the Old Norse &#039;Clari&#039;s Saga,&#039; and outlaw tales of Robin Hood, Gamelyn, and Hereward the Wake, I demonstrate through a comparative approach centered on interpretation and analysis supported with contextual historical evidence that violence associated with the feast is typically presented according to genre expectations and mirrors cultural anxieties that are specific to the community in which and for which a given text was produced.&quot; Includes analysis of the &quot;Man of Law&#039;s Tale&quot; and its analogues, and comments on the apocryphal &quot;Tale of Gamelyn.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Urban Chaucer: Fragmented Fellowships and Troubled Teleologies in Some Late Fourteenth-Century Texts.<br />
]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[&quot;This thesis examines the depiction of social antagonism in certain texts written in the 1380s and 1390s, in the London area. It focuses on Chaucer, looking at &#039;Troilus and Criseyde&#039; and the &#039;Canterbury Tales&#039; alongside other, contemporary texts. These include Thomas Usk&#039;s &#039;Testament of Love,&#039; the guild returns of 1388-89, the letters accusing three London aldermen of betraying the city in 1381, &#039;St. Erkenwald,&#039; Richard Maidstone&#039;s &#039;Concordia,&#039; and John Gower&#039;s &#039;Vox clamantis.&#039; Most critics have assumed that Chaucer&#039;s vision of society, or of social possibility, was benign. Critics writing from diverse perspectives and in various periods, have generally agreed that Chaucer&#039;s texts promote an idea of coherence, and that the author was genial and optimistic. In contrast, I argue that Chaucer&#039;s texts depict social groups as essentially fragmentary and antagonistic, and offer no hope for social - or personal - redemption. In Troilus and Criseyde, the city, and fellowship, are shown to be debased and self-seeking; equally, the Canterbury &#039;compaignye&#039; is a destructive, anti-social group. Both of these works challenge an idea of teleology by suggesting that there is no final goal for society, and both refuse to offer a sense of progress or closure.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
