Also comments on hawking imagery in WBP, 415–17, and adapts material on SqT derived from Petrosillo;s 2018 essay in the journal Medieval Feminist Forum.]]></dcterms:description>

Chapter 5 addresses how the presence of ABC and PrT in manuscripts containing other Marian texts encourages &quot;matricentric&quot; reading of Chaucer&#039;s works, while Chapter 6 considers how Marian material in SNT helps to make Cecilia a &quot;metaphorical mother.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
