    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores Chaucer&#039;s attitude toward the Boethian notion that &quot;right reasoning alone should guarantee rhetorical success.&quot; Mirrored in Chaucer criticism and inflected by issues of gender and point of view, &quot;objectivity,&quot; effective persuasion, and literary intention are, for Chaucer, largely matters of an audience&#039;s predispositions. Assesses these concerns in Bo, WBP, ManT, TC, SNT, Mel, and PF, and comments on poststructuralist and feminist approaches to Chaucer studies.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer exemplifies one of Mikhail Bakhtin&#039;s important claims that laughter can engage and comment on human systems and can function as a form of social and intellectual critique. Engle briefly surveys Bakhtinian theory, suggests its power in describing the structure of CT, and ends with a detailed analysis of ClT in Bakhtinian terms.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines &quot;the different use to which Chaucer and Boccaccio have put certain raw narrative material belonging to the tradition of popular comic literature&quot; of their cultural heritage--i.e., Chaucer&#039;s use of sources in RvT as opposed to Boccaccio&#039;s in the &quot;Decameron&quot; story of Pinuccio and Niccolosa.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Popular understanding of their works is a central issue in both Boccaccio and Chaucer.  Boccaccio&#039;s urbanity and sophistication reflect the qualities of his cultured, mercantile audience.  Chaucer (e.g., PardT) is only apparently more naive, working with the materials of popular culture but writing for a courtly audience.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[&quot;The Decameron&quot; should be seen as a source of CT despite the lack of verbal parallels.  Each work forms &quot;an itinerary for the reader, if a highly indirect one, towards the good.&quot;  &quot;The Decameron&quot; leads to Griselda, while CT   leads to the Parson&#039;s penitential treatise, but both works depict labyrinthine, disrupted worlds and obliquely indicate that the only true way is the way of virtue.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s contributions to the novel merit further study.

Two seemingly unrelated stories are tightly unified:  SNT in the &quot;lastynge bisynesse&quot; of Saint Cecilia; CYT in the fraudulent &quot;bisynesse&quot; of the Canon, one activity leading to God, the other to perdition.  In SNT several lines from Dante&#039;s &quot;Paradiso&quot; appear; CYT suggests the &quot;Inferno.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A subgenre of estates portraits, not touched on by Mann, includes &quot;tarocchi,&quot; the richly illuminated playing cards of fourteenth- and fifteenth- century Italy that developed into tarot cards and modern playing cards.  The four suits represent the four estates:  aristocracy, clergy, yeomanry, and merchants.  Each suit represents ranks within the estate, and the twenty-two honors, or &quot;atouts,&quot; are based on physical and psychological categories such as the Ages of Man and the four humors. ]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s Knight, Squire, and Yeoman bear close correspondences to the iconography of the suits; the Ellesmere Squire offers a particularly close analogue to the aristocratic youth in the fifteenth-century Visconti &quot;tarocchi&quot; deck.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Blamires elucidates ways in which CT and, to a lesser extent, TC engage moral and ethical discourse and shows this discourse at times to be gendered. Grounded in a range of Christian and classical sources, especially Stoic texts, Chaucer&#039;s &quot;spectrum of nuances&quot; makes various demands on his audience. Topics include friendship in KnT and TC; credulity and vision in MilT, MerT, and WBT; sexual pleasure and marital debt in MerT, RvT, MilT, and PardPT; sufficiency in MLPT and ShT; gendered varieties of liberality in WBP and FranT; patience and equanimity in FranT, ClT, and NPT; moral jurisdiction in FrT, PhyT, and PardPT; and speech and speechlessness in SNT, CYPT, ManT and ParsT. Neither ParsT nor any allegorical standard establishes a single ethical norm for CT.]]></dcterms:description>

Its images appear especially in BD and in MerT, its philosophical language in Bo, and its viewpoint and social comment in Sted.  All of those aspects enter into For.]]></dcterms:description>
