Various puns (e.g., sand/sound, tides/tidings) and the &quot;anaphoric circles&quot; of repeated &quot;O&quot;s in lines 1961–76 engage formal and thematic concerns so that HF shares some formal features with Pearl and anticipates the restless poetics of CT.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Wearing Your Heart on Your Face: Reading Lovesickness and the Suicidal Impulse in Chaucer.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In BD, Chaucer reinvents the &quot;dits amoreux&quot; tropes of Froissart (in &quot;Le paradis d&#039;Amours&quot;) and Machaut (in &quot;Le jugement dou roy de Behaingne&quot;), applying Galen&#039;s humoral medicine to depictions of the lovelorn knight. Likewise, in KnT, the banished Arcite&#039;s plight foregrounds humoral imbalance and melancholy, and his death is described in Galenic detail. Establishes how both texts invite the audience to a closer and more empathic reading of suicidal characters than is usually available within the &quot;artifice&quot; of &quot;fin&#039;amors&quot; poetry.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Studies the history of interpretation of BD, surveying scholarly commentary, material transmission, and late medieval/early modern creative reception. Emphasizes the (re)making of BD over time, by means of the interrelated textual processes of writing, reading, and reception modeled within the poem itself. As a work that, paradoxically, has been both marginalized and freighted with canonical import, BD impacts our understanding of Chaucerian authorship, English and French vernacularity, and the late medieval culture of book production in ways that demand fuller reckoning.]]></dcterms:description>
