    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Suggests that Chaucer&#039;s dismissive reference to incest in MLP 77ff. alludes not to Gower&#039;s &quot;Confessio Amantis&quot; but to his own hesitation in writing a version of the &quot;well known folk tale of the Incestuous Father,&quot; hesitating &quot;on grounds of taste to write a religious tale in which incest was an essential element of the plot.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[MerT is not just a merry fabliau, uncomplicated by a fictional narrator.  Through evidence included in the prologue, most of the first hundred and fifty lines, and various other passages in the work, we see that Chaucer may have consciously tried to avoid this misunderstanding about the narrative voice and tone of the tale.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In the Merchant and MerT Chaucer objectifies his own cultural bias against women and his own interest in financial profit. The Merchant is like January (Janus was the god of merchants), and Chaucer (born into a family of merchants) is like the Merchant.]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[However, through the portrayal of this cynical character Chaucer reaches a certain self-understanding, and expresses with it a keen awareness that antifeminism and crass mercantilism vitiate human love.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Surveys Chaucer&#039;s attention to the theological issue of bodily resurrection in FrT, SumT, and PardT, set against a survey of orthodox and heterodox positions in the Church Fathers and Dante. Then establishes Chaucer&#039;s &quot;conservative&quot; attitude toward the issue in PrT, where the emphasis on the flesh--mutilation, putrefaction, and the &quot;gem-like integrity&quot; of the clergeon--implies that Chaucer&#039;s view is more in accord with earlier tradition than with Thomistic emphasis on form rather than substance.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Appreciative commentary on Chaucer&#039;s life and works, considering what can and cannot be determined from his life-records and literature, why he may not have completed several works, why (though a civil servant) he did not comment on political events, and more--seeking to capture &quot;glimpses&quot; of his personality as a comic poet, an &quot;amateur of genius&quot; who is distinctly tolerant of the world. Concentrates on CT and TC, but mentions other works recurrently, attending to inconsistencies as well as excellences of style (including realism), characterization, theme, and form; audiences; source material, and tone, with close reading of passages often included. Reacts to previous criticism.]]></dcterms:description>

Summarizes the history and practice of editorial emendation of Chaucer&#039;s verse patterns, and exemplifies differences between lines edited for regularized pentameter and those using the medial marks found in manuscripts.]]></dcterms:description>
