    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Investigates &quot;topics relevant to the central question:  Did Chaucer use the &#039;Roman de Troyle&#039; of Beauvau, Seneschal of Anjou,&quot; in the composition of TC?  Hanly reviews a number of candidates for authorship of the &quot;Roman&quot; and concludes that Chaucer may well have used the French source along with the &quot;Filostrato.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chapter 1 explores &quot;the intellectual and political milieu of the late fourteenth century&quot; to show that texts such as Beauvau&#039;s &quot;Roman&quot; would not have been unusual in Chaucer&#039;s time.  Chapter 2 examines historical evidence to conclude that authorship of the &quot;Roman&quot; cannot conclusively be attributed to the fifteenth-century Louis de Beauvau. ]]></dcterms:description>

Assesses storytelling as a &quot;constitutive&quot; cultural force in the &quot;Decameron&quot; and as &quot;competitive&quot; social exchange in CT, concentrating on how characters in both collections &quot; &#039;deal with a chronically uncertain world, and with the formidable forces that create or perpetuate its uncertainty . . . to gain, maintain, or reclaim personal agency&#039;.&quot; (original emphasis). Particular attention to KnT, MilPT, RvPT, MLPT, WBPT, ClPT, MerPT, ShT, Mel, and ManT.]]></dcterms:description>

Although Boccaccio&#039;s narrator distorts Boethius and Dante, Chaucer&#039;s narrator represents Criseyde&#039;s flaw as &quot;lack of prudence&quot; and revises the ending from condemnation of Criseyde to contemplation of mutability.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses Boccaccio&#039;s and Chaucer&#039;s attitudes toward their sources by examining the relations of their narrators with Cressida in &quot;Filostrato&quot; and TC.  Cressida&#039;s legendary status as dishonest and inconstant had been established before Boccaccio and Chaucer were writing, but other antecedents are reflected in her character. Cressida&#039;s literary heritage owes much to female characterizations in Virgil and Ovid, as well as to Dante&#039;s readings of Virgil and Ovid, all of which provide compelling models for the Cressida of the High Middle Ages.]]></dcterms:description>
