    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Thirty-two essays by various authors who define and describe the professions, vocations, and avocations of Chaucer&#039;s pilgrims.  Individual essays pertain to each of the pilgrims mentioned in GP--including the five guildsmen, the Host (innkeeper), and the narrator (writer and pilgrim)--and to  the pilgrims who approach the pilgrimage late--the Canon (canon and alchemist) and the Canon&#039;s Yeoman.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Studies &quot;historical background&quot; to Chaucer&#039;s Monk, Clerk, and Physician, comparing their characterizations with historical personages. Argues that the Monk is &quot;probably either Benedictine or Cistercian,&quot; and &quot;primarily realistic&quot; rather than satiric. Suggests five personages upon whom the Clerk may have been modeled, and characterizes him as a &quot;remarkable blend of the real and the ideal.&quot; Also assesses historical models for the &quot;primarily realistic&quot; Physician whose tale is &quot;strikingly appropriate&quot; to its teller.]]></dcterms:description>

BD and HF challenge traditional notions of literary authority; TC depicts the narrator-as-reader suspended between emotional response and hoped-for objectivity. In CT--particularly in FranT, KnT, ManT, SNT, and ClT--Chaucer &quot;dramatizes his conviction that authority is contingent upon the individual.&quot; A printing of the author&#039;s dissertation; includes Danish summary.]]></dcterms:description>
