    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer and the Death of the Political Animal.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Studies &quot;the architecture of Chaucerian metapoetics&quot; in CT and reads several tales as Neoplatonic texts. Criticism of MilT, ManT, and NPT is framed by a consideration of the corrupted natural philosophy of the old man in PardT. Nicholas&#039;s impalement in MilT signals the failure of his naturalistic, materialistic philosophy. ManT presents art&#039;s metaphysical descent down the Neoplatonic &quot;chain of love&quot; via a naturalistic, domesticated revision of Ovidian sources that depicts linguistic dissolution. NPT, &quot;the definitive nursery rhyme of medieval Platonism,&quot; achieves a return to the Golden Age by illustrating both the &quot;conflict between Human Art (Chauntecleer&#039;s world) and Human History (the widow&#039;s world)&quot; and between Pertelote&#039;s naturalism and Chauntecleer&#039;s literary Neoplatonism, only to achieve resolution in Chauntecleer&#039;s escape into prelapsarian silence in a tree.]]></dcterms:description>
