Comments on details of Chaucer&#039;s travels in Italy, his &quot;genius,&quot; his meter and the relative chronology of his works, and his fusion of Italian models with Latin and French ones.]]></dcterms:description>

Further, in PrT, her &quot;own words . . . convict her of bigotry&quot; and oppose the &quot;authentic mind of the Church.&quot; She is not condemned, however: &quot;rather is the poem&#039;s objective view one of understanding pity for her.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
