    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer and the Theme of Mutability]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Describes considerations of mutability from &quot;Antiquity Through the Middle Ages&quot; and then focuses on Chaucer&#039;s works, with individual sections that assess aspects of the theme in Chaucer&#039;s translations, his lyric poems, his dream visions, TC, KnT, and the &quot;Remainder&quot; of the CT. Considers several sub-themes: &quot;decay of the world, &#039;ubi sunt,&#039; mutability, mortality, contempt of the world [&#039;contemptus mundi&#039;], putrefaction,&quot; and &quot;the world in all its transitoriness,&quot; arguing that the theme is prevalent throughout Chaucer&#039;s career and that it helps to account for the &quot;tension and universality of his poetry.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Traces the development of the notion of mutability from decay to progress, with related motifs, and assesses its place in Boethius&#039; &quot;Consolation of Philosophy&quot; and the &quot;De Contemptu Mundi&quot; of Innocent III. Then examines Chaucer&#039;s &quot;peculiar sensibility of impermanence&quot; as evident in several of his short poems, BD, PF, TC, and CT, especially in KnT, MLPT, MkT, and MerT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer and the Tradition of Fame: Symbolism in &quot;the House of Fame.&quot;]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Confronts the &quot;deliberate obscurity&quot; of HF, seeking to resolve its apparent disjunctions and disunities by reading it as a &quot;poetic allegory&quot; on the &quot;subject of fame,&quot; influenced by scriptural tradition, by the dual aspects of Venus (secular and sacred love), and by Dante&#039;s &quot;Divine Comedy.&quot; The dream frame and the &quot;symbolic date&quot; of the poem invite attention to the &quot;outer and inner modes&quot; of allegory, the Dido and Aeneas account signals a dual concern with love and fame, and the eagle indicates a kind of rational pursuit of the dual ideals. Fame&#039;s hall is deeply symbolic and the narrator&#039;s quest is a pursuit for tidings of love both spiritual and earthly. Based on the author&#039;s 1959 Princeton University dissertation: &quot;Chaucer and the Tradition of Fame: A Study of the Symbolism in the &#039;House of Fame&#039;.&quot; ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer and the Tradition of the Roman Antique]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Nolan analyzes continental verse narratives from which Chaucer borrowed for KnT and TC--namely, the Roman de Troie, Roman de Thebes, Roman d&#039;Eneas, and Boccaccio&#039;s Filostrato and Teseida.  TC uses Ovidian fine amor as a &quot;fulcrum,&quot; and history as a glass for examining love, but Chaucer adds that erotic love is mortal and subject to Fortune&#039;s whims.                                 ]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[  Based solely on an ancient--and pagan--world view, KnT excludes Christian spirituality.  The Knight&#039;s stoicism and classical notion of justice  clash with the episodic irrationality of the medieval romance, where adventures and marvels pose moral questions in a chaotic world.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer draws on a variety of sources--Boccaccio, Ovid, French dawn-songs, popular dawn-song traditions, courtly dawn-songs, and (perhaps) popular poetry--for the dawn-songs in RvT, MerT, Mars, and TC.

Wetherbee comments on aspects of BD and HF, examines the invocation of Tisiphone in TC, and discusses the end of KnT.
