    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Engle sees Bakhtin &quot;as pointing the way to an anti-essentialist and anti-foundationist position on literary value, literary genre, and the sociology of reading, which nonetheless is recognizably &#039;humanist&#039; in asserting that literature transmits values and helps preserve consistent, deeply constructed and relatively stable pattern in human experience.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Bakhtin, Chaucer, Carnival, Lent]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines the appropriateness and limitations of the &quot;anthropological&quot; approach in Chaucer criticism, specifically the &quot;carnivalesque&quot;--implicit in monastic satire, popular culture and folklore, goliardic parody, and the social dynamics of Chaucer&#039;s London.  An understanding of &quot;Bakhtin&#039;s notions of language and cultural exchange&quot; (&quot;polyglossia,&quot; theatricality, mixtures of styles, framing devices, and irony) &quot;is necessary to supplement the appealing metaphor of carnival.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Defines TC as a novel because it partakes heavily of the linguistic qualities that Bakhtin associates with novelization, including contemporaneity, fusion of genres, and open-endedness.  Most important, TC is dialogic in its adaptations of Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Filostrato,&quot; courtly conventions, Boethian thought, and Christian outlook.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Reading ClT in its social and historical context is reason for employing Bakhtin&#039;s theoretical framework, since Bakhtin recognizes the complexity and riches of poetic discourse as connected to the diversity and complexity of socio-ideological discourse.  A Bakhtinian approach to ClT shows how Chaucer&#039;s incorporated such issues as &quot;sovereignty, the status of women, the uses of rhetoric, and the emergent new &#039;commune voice&#039;.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that Chaucer uses rhyme words in the ballade form (Ros, Ven, For, Purse, Sted, Gent, Wom Nob, Buk, Scog, Truth, Wom Unc) for stylistic effects, not because of linguistic limitation. As a translator, Chaucer employs several methods of translation even within one text (Ven).

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In Chaucer&#039;s RvT and Malory&#039;s &quot;Morte D&#039;Arthur,&quot; illegitimacy is not a negative notion.  The Reeve is unorthodox in his negative view of the illegitimacy of Symkyn&#039;s wife and of the sexual liberation of Symkyn&#039;s daughter.  Chaucer however, discloses a less critical view, enabling his readers to consider bastardy and sexual play in a positive light.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Beaupré Bell (1704-45), member of a noble Norfolk family, was known as a careful, if not exhaustive, annotator of Chaucer manuscripts  (Cambridge,Trinity College, MSS R.3.19 and R.3.15). Now it is clear that two printed editions of Chaucer in the Cambridge Library, those of Thomas Speght (1598) and John Urry (1721), received his more extensive attention. Bell&#039;s textual comparisons and critical comments show intelligence  and at least a partially formulated editorial methodology. His later correspondence recalls an unrealized ambition to do a full edition of Chaucer, apparently responding to the widely perceived inadequacies of Urry.]]></dcterms:description>
