    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chapter four (pp. 89-127) treats together Chaucer, Gower, and &quot;Piers Plowman,&quot; presenting Chaucer in his time but arguing that, as an artist, he transcends it.  Introduces Chaucer&#039;s life and offers summary comments on each of his major works, concluding that &quot;With Chaucer, the English language and English literature grew at a bound to full maturity. No other Middle English writer has his skill, his range, his complexity, his large humane outlook.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
