    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that the novel has a far-reaching international history, evident in early eighteenth-century works translated and published in Amsterdam and Leipzig such as &quot;Les Mémoires de Madame la Marquise de Frêne,&quot; which shows not only proof of novel-writing/publishing in eighteenth-century Amsterdam and Leipzig, but also the influence of the East upon the European novel. The importance of the Oriental frame tale in Western narratives can be seen as early as CT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Beginning with Gildas&#039; depiction of England as a beautiful garden, explores metaphorical and physical gardens in medieval English cultural history, arguing that Chaucer indicates &quot;awareness of nation as landscape&quot; in CT. Chapters 2 and 3 emphasize that Chaucer employs Langland&#039;s peasant &quot;croft, or half acre&quot; as an image of nation in NPT, ClT, KnT, and PF. In Chapter 4, an analysis of the narrative of Susanna and the Elders (Daniel 13) cites ClT, MLT, and ParsT.]]></dcterms:description>

Embraces contradictory references to time in the poem rather than seeking to resolve them. These contradictions are likely purposeful and part of the work&#039;s message about eternity and mutability.]]></dcterms:description>

Learning and &quot;doctrine&quot; arise from this activity, and so the aesthetic and instructive values of poetry are inseparable.]]></dcterms:description>

Instead, suggests that the alliterative and the London poets participate in a shared metrical phonology and a range of metrical choices far more complex than a simple binary between long-line alliterative and decasyllabic verse.]]></dcterms:description>
