    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that the concern with the &quot;basic duality between material and spiritual values&quot; in CYPT is based in Boethius&#039;s admonitions against pursuing false felicity in his &quot;Consolation of Philosophy,&quot; manifested in the Canon&#039;s Yeoman&#039;s concern with false versus true alchemy. Like Boethius, the Canon&#039;s Yeoman advocates pursuing the &quot;perfection of the uncreated good.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Rejects the argument that Chaucer abandoned LGW out of weariness or boredom on the grounds that Chaucer had long been interested in classical love stories, that he took time to revise LGWP, that he employed abbreviation and &quot;occupatio&quot; effectively in the legends, that his claims of weariness are rhetorical (and found elsewhere in his poetry), that his use of comedy is characteristic, and that LGW shares its unfinished status with HF, CT, CkT, and SqT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Documentary source book of 493 archival records that pertain to Chaucer&#039;s &quot;career as a courtier, diplomat, and civil servant,&quot; arranged topically in thirty-one categories from Chaucer&#039;s ancestors to his death; includes a &quot;Chronological Table&quot; of the records as an appendix (pp. 550-96) and a general &quot;Index of Persons and Places&quot; (pp. 597-629). One record is in Spanish; the others are in Latin or French. The Preface (pp. v-xvi) describes the history of the project (begun in 1927), emphasizing the foundational roles of John M. Manly and Edith Rickert, the contributions of Lilian J. Redstone, and the participation of others, with particular attention to Redstone&#039;s descriptions, included throughout the volume, that clarify the nature of the records from which the documents have been drawn.]]></dcterms:description>

Considers the changes Chaucer makes to Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Filostrato,&quot; focusing on Troilus&#039;s swoon which, though &quot;puzzling,&quot; is &quot;psychologically &#039;right&#039;&quot; insofar as it reflects the hero&#039;s &quot;intrapsychic conflicts&quot; and regression.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Relationship of Chaucer to the English and European Traditions.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Describes the conditions under which Chaucer developed his verse and prose styles, focusing on the former. Argues that English verse romances are the foundation of Chaucer&#039;s poetic style to which he &quot;grafted&quot; the continental traditions of &quot;fin amour,&quot; lexical variety, and rhetorical sophistication under the influence of the &quot;Roman de la Rose,&quot; Latin rhetoricians and the School of Chartres, and Guillaume de Machaut. Explicates aspects of BD (lines 1-15 extensively), HF, and PF to exemplify these features. Chaucer&#039;s prose style reflects broad developments in English prose: the use of the vernacular for secular material, the writing of the religious prose by laymen, and imitation of the rhythms of Latin cursus.]]></dcterms:description>
