    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Historical Setting of Chaucer&#039;s &quot;Book of the Duchess.&quot;]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses BD as a late-medieval &quot;public funerary poem&quot; rather than a portrait of psychological grief, interpreting the Black Knight as a generic, Boethian figure deprived by fortune, rather than as John of Gaunt, and discussing the character Blanche as a conventional figure, drawn from French poetic conventions. Like the Black Knight, the narrator represents an aspect of &quot;everyone who loved&quot; the Duchess of Lancaster, consistent with the chivalric sentiment of the poem.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Surveys critical approaches to PrT, distinguishing between &quot;hard critics&quot; of the Tale who read it as an indictment of the teller&#039;s anti-Semitism, and &quot;historical&quot; approaches that consider it in light of late-medieval attitudes and practices. Argues that Chaucer is &quot;mildly satirical&quot; of the Prioress&#039;s pretentiousness in the GP description and that PrT satirizes &quot;simplicity, emotionalism, and frustrated femininity,&quot; but not &quot;religious prejudice&quot; against Jews, given that it was an accepted aspect of contemporaneous literature and society.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that &quot;imagery and narrative detail&quot; in ShT subtly undercut the Tale&#039;s &quot;relish for quick-witted deception&quot; and its &quot;philosophy of money,&quot; typical of the fabliau genre. Several image clusters and their points of occurrence in the Tale evoke &quot;the traditional Christian standard&quot; and ironically critique the ethos of fabliaux.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores the characterization of the Canon in CYP and the first part of CYT, arguing that he is embarrassed at being a &quot;simple puffer&quot; and not an illuminati of the alchemical arts--&quot;a pathetic if not a tragic figure, broken through following a chimerical vision.&quot; Part 2 of CYT &quot;shows what kind of person he is likely to become,&quot; thereby completing &quot;the story of decline and fall.&quot; Supplies supporting evidence for the characterization from early Renaissance alchemical literature by Thomas Norton, George Ripley, and others.]]></dcterms:description>
