    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s contemporaries were familiar with his &quot;tyraunts of Lumbardye&quot; (LGW, G. 353), notorious for their cruelty.  The Lombard setting of ClT suggests proverbial Lombard tyranny for Walter, an imperfect mixture of tyranny and pity, for he rues Griselda&#039;s suffering.  MerT, a parody of ClT, emphasizes lust, for which Lombard tyrants were also notorious, as well as avarice, another of their vices.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Benson urges that Chaucer be returned from merely professional scholarship to the mainstream of English literature and finds that structuralist, poststructuralist, Marxist, and feminist theories give new perspectives on Chaucer&#039;s work.  Equally, however, we must recognize that Chaucer is a Christian poet--though not in the rigid Robertsonian sense--whose religious tales are some of the finest Christian poetry in our language.]]></dcterms:description>

Includes attention to Astro and the authorship of Equat.  Part 2 provides &quot;an astronomical exegesis&quot; of Chaucer&#039;s works which explores how and where Chaucer encodes astronomical assumptions and information in his major poetic works: BD, HF, PF, Mars, LGW, TC, and CT (especially MLT, WBP, MerT, SqT, FranT, and NPT).]]></dcterms:description>
