    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Although Heywood&#039;s comic debates are dismissed as negligible in metrical skill, once we realize that Chaucer&#039;s line is a non-pentameter, more dependent on alliterative accentual native verse than most metrists allow, then we can see that the debates reveal a formal control in a verse tradition stemming from Chaucer.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores what can and cannot be known about the meter and rhythm of Chaucer&#039;s verse and that of his contemporaries and followers, arguing that Chaucer employed a lively &quot;balanced parameter&quot; that is not heavily restricted by regularity and that should be read with sensitivity to variation. Comments on metrical history and traditional analyses, the status of final &quot;-e,&quot; variable stress, and manuscript punctuation. Recommends that readers use manuscripts (or facsimiles) for reading Chaucer and that they aim for liveliness in aural presentation, whether silent or aloud.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Proverbs appear conventionally in most of Chaucer&#039;s early works, usually to lament changes in fortune.  In the short poems, For, Buk, and Scog, however, Chaucer&#039;s proverbs become personal.  In TC and CT proverbs spoken by characters (especially Melibee and Prudence) signal need for action to impose order and acquire wisdom.]]></dcterms:description>

Multiple connotations of &quot;hap&quot; in TC imply a different, playful rhetoric of translation that in turn reflects the limits of language and human perception.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s Queer Poetics: Rereading the Dream Trio]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Schibanoff challenges the notion that Chaucer escaped from the decadent, &quot;unmanly&quot; influence of French verse to achieve his status as &quot;father&quot; of English poetry. In BD, Chaucer adopts the persona of &quot;the weak, puerile, and loveless poet - the &#039;queer&#039; poet&quot; - to &quot;inoculate&quot; John of Gaunt against &quot;contemporary moral censure.&quot; In HF, he adopts Dante&#039;s &quot;hermaphroditic aesthetic&quot;; the narrator of HF fails to achieve &quot;the role of queer foil&quot; but compels acknowledgment of &quot;deviant poetics&quot; and dismisses traditional authority. PF offers a queer view of Alan de Lille&#039;s Plaint of Nature, and Chaucer&#039;s Nature &quot;is neither willing nor able to exclude sexual deviance from her realm.&quot; Traditional criticism of these poems is skewed by the &quot;deep-rooted heterosexism of our most basic modern thinking about Chaucer&#039;s art&quot; manifest in the &quot;presumptively heterosexual organic metaphors&quot; of literary criticism in general.]]></dcterms:description>
