    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[An Essay at the Logic of &#039;Troilus and Criseyde&#039;]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Uses TC to show why Boethius &quot;so compelled Chaucer&#039;s imagination&quot; and demonstrates that the outcome of Chaucer&#039;s plot is &quot;fitting&quot; to the characters as established earlier in the poem. Focuses on Troilus&#039;s Boethian soliloquy and on Criseyde&#039;s persuasion of Troilus to accept the parliament&#039;s decision that she leave Troy, considering necessity, love, psychology, particularity, and inevitable tragic outcome, and making comparisons with works by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Proust, and E. M. Forster.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that the Wife of Bath is a distant source (not necessarily intentional) for the characterization of Molly Bloom in James Joyce&#039;s &quot;Ulysses.&quot; Both characters are sensual, hedonistic, heterodox, touched by despair, shrewish, and unfaithful--part of a long tradition of literary women.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Contrasts the consummation scene of TC with its source in Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Filostrato,&quot; arguing that the changes produce a &quot;far greater emotional intensity,&quot; largely because the narrative puts the reader through the process of partial fulfillment alternating with deferral, moving toward climax. As a result of this &quot;mimetic form,&quot; which parallels the lovers&#039; experience, the process &quot;authenticates through form the quality of the events narrated.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Discusses puns and implications in the GP description of the Monk to characterize the Monk is an &quot;amorous man,&quot; a male &quot;counterpart&quot; to the Prioress (a satiric female type), an appropriate teller of MerT, and an important part of Chaucer&#039;s ongoing revision of CT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Shows that in the Wife of Bath&#039;s account of her three &quot;goode&quot; husbands Chaucer &quot;adopted a means of amplification which he found described and illustrated in the &#039;Documentum de modo et arte dictandi et versificandi&#039; . . . attributed to Geoffrey of Vinsauf&quot;; also  evinces the &quot;probability&quot; that Vinsauf&#039;s work provided other details and rhetorical models that helped to shape WBP during Chaucer&#039;s ongoing composition process.]]></dcterms:description>

As a result, when Criseyde chooses dishonor before death or loneliness, her infidelity conveys the transience of all worldly love and happiness.]]></dcterms:description>
