    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Frames and analyzes the pilgrims of CT in terms of the social contexts surrounding their professions in Chaucer&#039;s lifetime and the antecedent few decades, interestingly moving directly against perceived social ordering to do so. Begins with the rural pilgrims before moving to the more urban, then the religious, then the military. Pilgrims&#039; encapsulations of aspects of later medieval English life, both observed and contemporaneously figured, are used to reaffirm Chaucer&#039;s understanding of the breadth of the societies in which he lived.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s Peple and Folk]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[&quot;Peple&quot; and &quot;folk&quot; are marked terms in Chaucer&#039;s usage. In particular, &quot;peple&quot; is nearly always negative; &quot;folk&quot; is either neutral or positive. In Chaucer&#039;s translations (e.g., Bo), &quot;folk&quot; normally translates as &quot;gens&quot; or its cognates, while &quot;peple&quot; translates as &quot;vulgus,&quot; &quot;populus,&quot; or their cognates. In TC and CT, &quot;folk&quot; refers to lovers; the Miller, Reeve, and Wife of Bath do not use &quot;peple&quot; at all. In ClT, &quot;peple&quot; refers to the citizens of Saluzzo, but Griselde is among the &quot;folk.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Criseyde&#039;s allusion to Prudence with &quot;eyen thre&quot; is derived from Dante&#039;s &quot;Purgatorio,&quot; 29.132; but since the Italian reference is cryptic in style and symbology, Chaucer was probably also influenced by glosses and illuminations for the passage, similar to some found in surviving manuscripts of the &quot;Commedia&quot; today.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s Philosophical Visions]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s dream visions confront contemporary philosophical debates, which also shape his poetics. BD is concerned with the status of universals, the relationship of universals to singulars, and the certainty of human knowledge. HF mocks &quot;the logical systems that attempt to organize and give meaning to worldly diversity&quot; (p. 64). Discussions of human will by Aquinas, Duns Scotus, Bradwardine, and Wyclif shed light on PF, which begins in a world without will but concludes with the formel eagle&#039;s acting freely. Like HF, LGW is about competing truths. The F prologue is the likely revision because its tension and ambiguity are important elements of Chaucer&#039;s style. In LGW, Chaucer creates a world where external verification is very difficult; both male and female characters commit the liar&#039;s paradox.]]></dcterms:description>
