    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Aspects of Subjectivity: Society and Individuality from the Middle Ages to Shakespeare and Milton]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Subjectivity and a sense of the importance of the inner self and the individual developed gradually from the early Middle Ages to the seventeenth century. Nothing is altogether new in the stunning early-modernist sense of a vast, inner world of the self. What is new is the sense that the world within is more real than the world outside. Chaucer&#039;s Pardoner displays little awareness of his inner self. His despicable character and behavior make him a negative exemplar, whom Chaucer holds up for his audience&#039;s blame and execration.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The lack of a clearcut distinction between connotative and denotative associations of words, as well as the looseness of syntactical patterns in Middle English, forces us to focus on the rhetorical arrangement of ideas and words--repetition, balance, and contrast.  In the description of the Prioress in GP, Chaucer exploits the resources of language in a teasing portrait.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s canon evolved alongside a substantial body of virtually contemporary apocryphal texts attributed to him.  But before the end of the last century, judgment concerning a text&#039;s authenticity was often indebted to extratextual biases:  the complex political, social, moral, and religious beliefs that informed the editor&#039;s historical imagination.]]></dcterms:description>
