    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Surveys &quot;the idea literary fame&quot; in classical and medieval traditions (Homer, Hesiod, Virgil, Statius, and Dante); analyzes Petrarch&#039;s notion more extensively; and examines HF to show that though Chaucer, &quot;like Petrarch, was intimately familiar with the fickleness and absurdity of worldly fame, he betrays a longing for a posthumous literary fame.&quot; Includes an abstract in Chinese.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Includes a chapter entitled &quot;Chaucer, House of Fame&quot; (pp. 355-83) that describes HF and characterizes Chaucer&#039;s treatment of literary reputation as unusual in lacking the &quot;moralistic slant&quot; of his predecessors, opting instead for a &quot;disillusioned (and often clearly amused)&quot; perspective that the &quot;world of stories (and literature) is governed by chance.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Discredits the idea that the Eagle&#039;s disquisition on sound in HF is conventional Aristotelianism, mediated by Robert Grosseteste or Walter Burley, arguing that the details of the multiplying ripples and the combination of science and myth were influenced instead by Robert Holcot&#039;s commentary on the Book of Wisdom. Describes Holcot&#039;s career among the Oxford Calculators (Mertonians) and explains Holcot&#039;s influence on HF and elsewhere in Chaucer.]]></dcterms:description>

Treats the latter as a metonym for vernacular readers and for the potential of technological learning (also found in the brass steed of SqT) through which Chaucer projects an image of &quot;Englishness&quot; that &quot;coalesces around paternal love and technological learning&quot; and depends in part upon the sufficiency of Oxford to emulate or replace Rome in a national imaginary.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that both the structure and the content of ManT explore the relativity of truth and lie. Regarding the structure, the dependence on literature of practical wisdom raises a doubt as to the tale&#039;s authority as an exemplum. As for the content, ManT is &quot;no longer about the delayed discovery of truth as in &#039;Othello&#039;,&quot; and instead focuses on Phoebus&#039;s &quot;confused state of mind,&quot; in which &quot;truth is whatever he wishes to believe.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Considers the shift in &quot;social and rhetorical roles&quot; of Cecilia in SNT--from sweet wife to ardent polemical martyr--and argues that both are consistent with views of female speech in pastoral literature, particularly confessional manuals and hagiography.
