    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Poetic Love.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Studies the Christian and Platonic underpinnings of romantic love in Renaissance drama and poetry, exploring its roots in courtly traditions, and distinguishing it from love depicted by Augustan, Romantic, and modern writers. A section on Chaucer (pp. 42-56) maintains that Chaucer&#039;s depiction of courtly sentiment advances &quot;Petrarchan &#039;technique&#039;&quot; by testing courtly conventions and human nature &quot;against each other.&quot; KnT demonstrates the success of religious love over &quot;realist&quot; love, while Troilus&#039;s idealism in TC is counterpointed by the practical outlooks of Pandarus, Diomede, and Criseyde. The Marriage Group of CT explores &quot;more complex and mature loves in order to &quot;comment on life&quot;: WBT &quot;symbolizes&quot; the teller&#039;s &quot;deepest need for a man with enough erotic force to love her into beauty&quot;; the envoy of ClT provides &quot;therapeutic irony&quot; to redeem the ludicrous impracticality of the Tale; and in FranT Dorigen and Arveragus &quot;preserve in marriage the freedom and regard of romantic love&quot; while also preserving &quot;marriage itself against romantic dangers.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Explicates the tales and tellers of CT in thematic chapters, with emphasis on chivalry and courtliness, religion and philosophy (ecclesiastical offices, Lollards, pilgrimage, sexuality, Providence, fortune, and free will), science (astronomy and astrology, alchemy, physiology, and dream theory), social practice (trade, clothing, food and drink, status, manor and village life, entertainments), and literary forms. Describes more briefly similar concerns in BD, HF, PF, LGWP, and TC, closing with a brief glossary of Middle English, a bibliography, and an index.]]></dcterms:description>
