    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores the imagery of nature and death in TC, arguing that Criseyde is &quot;representative of a principle of life&quot; and &quot;best understood in terms of her cyclical or seasonal progression through the poem.&quot; Pandarus is associated with mutability, and Troilus, with death and the &quot;little death&quot; of sex, although he is &quot;best understood in what may be seen as an ascending spiral.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Surveys late medieval &quot;attitudes toward alchemy&quot; in order to establish their influence on CYPT. Although Chaucer&#039;s depiction is generally orthodox in its condemnation of alchemy, it derives language and details from treatises that promote the study, especially Geber&#039;s &quot;Sum of Perfection,&quot; Arnald of Villa Nova&#039;s &quot;Rosarium&quot; and his &quot;De Secretis Nature,&quot; and the work attributed to &quot;Senior,&quot; all cited in CYT. The Yeoman is critical of alchemy, but Chaucer&#039;s view is hard to determine, given his familiarity with these works.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[&quot;The Horsemen of the &#039;Canterbury Tales.&quot;]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Describes three groups of equestrians among the Canterbury pilgrims: those who ride proud horses, those who &quot;ride either poor or at least un-caparisoned horses,&quot; and &quot;those whose characters seem compromised by their &#039;inefficiency&#039; as horsemen.&quot; Gauges the moral implications of these associations in light of Christ&#039;s entry into Jerusalem on a &quot;humble beast.&quot; Also comments on the pilgrims&#039; clothing, and argues for greater attention to the Bible than the Church Fathers in exegetical criticism.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Shows that Chaucer&#039;s depiction of Fame in HF has several parallels with the depiction of her in the French &quot;Ovide moralisé&quot;:  use of anaphora in amplification of Ovid&#039;s original, Fame&#039;s role of judge and her &quot;aura of authority,&quot; and overt concern with the &quot;problem of conflicting authorities.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Treats the Old Man of PardT as the &quot;total opposite&quot; of the three revelers: he &quot;embodies or manifests . . . in some manner Christian goodness.&quot; He first offers to the revelers a merciful &quot;way to salvation,&quot; but when they &quot;flatly reject&quot; it, he justly sends them &quot;to their fully-merited punishment,&quot; damnation.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Suggests that the notion of making a &quot;virtue of necessity&quot; in TC and Theseus&#039;s &quot;First Mover&quot; speech reflect late-medieval nominalism and express concern with the precariousness of human life and its relation to &quot;Ultimate Justice.&quot; Ending on a &quot;pessimistic note,&quot; Theseus&#039;s speech may indicate the need for faith.]]></dcterms:description>

Focuses on Chaucer&#039;s uses of &quot;degree&quot; and the ladder of degree as a &quot;symbol of social mobility,&quot; inflected by Chaucer&#039;s comic worldly &quot;cynicism&quot; and his &quot;profound religious skepticism&quot; about such mobility. Also addresses the gentle / churl distinction in Chaucer&#039;s works as social and moral categories, as devices of characterization, and as reflections of Chaucer&#039;s own status.]]></dcterms:description>
