    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Poetics of Time Management from the &quot;Metamorphoses&quot; to &quot;Il filocolo&quot; and &quot;The Franklin&#039;s Tale.&quot;]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines the management of time in the &quot;Aeson episode&quot; of Ovid&#039;s &quot;Metamorphoses&quot; (Book VII), the Tale of Menedon in Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Filocolo,&quot;and FranT, focusing on Medea&#039;s &quot;carmen,&quot; Tebano&#039;s magic, Dorigen&#039;s complaint, and their parallels with poetic composition. Dorigen&#039;s complaint conveys a sense of &quot;productive contingency&quot; and resists order or completion, suggesting that what remains unsaid can be powerfully evocative (as in LGW) and that the &quot;establishment of interpretive perspective . . . [is] an event that takes place in time&quot; (as in CT).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that SqT is an exception among medieval romances because it investigates things that are not what they seem. The first section of the tale scrutinizes the mechanics of marvels and wonder; the second explores the mechanics of stories, especially figurative language. Draws heavily on appeals to medieval philosophical theories and finds that the tale links literature to marvels, claiming that such an association was crucial to the development of literary theory in England]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Treats control as a thematic device in MerT and in CT at large. January seeks to control May through literal enclosure, but is himself figuratively controlled by May and Damian, becoming a keeper kept. Conversely, the pilgrim narrator of CT relinquishes the closed form of the GP descriptions and gives control over to the other pilgrims, maintaining partial control by becoming a participant himself.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Suggests Arabic texts not as sources for MerT, but as fellow exemplars of certain similar &quot;universal&quot; archetypes (tree, garden, billet-doux, key). Juxtaposes Arabic tales (some from &quot;The Arabian Nights&quot;) with MerT, and organizes stories by tree type (pear, sycamore, palm). Reads the shared archetypes through a Jungian lens, comparing them to the shadow, anima, animus, and persona. Refers to &quot;hortus conclusus&quot; and &quot;locus amoenus&quot; as integral to these archetypal manifestations of a &quot;collective unconsciousness&quot; or &quot;ur-myth.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Evaluates Chaucer&#039;s strategies of adapting his Italian sources in ClT. He uses three paratexts to adjust the original story to the specific narratological and structural microcosm of CT: ClP, the conclusion explaining what Petrarch meant in Griselda&#039;s story, and the sarcastic epilogue questioning the validity of the Italian&#039;s purpose for an English context]]></dcterms:description>
