Chaucer&#039;s works are treated differently from other authors, following the commonplace that Chaucer was crucial for the development of English.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores the argument that the lack of Chaucerian presentation miniatures suggests that Chaucer did not write for wealthy patrons. Identifies the first presentation miniature in an English-language manuscript as the 1409 incipit image in John Trevisa&#039;s &quot;Governance of Kings and Princes,&quot; reviews the history of presentation miniatures in French-language manuscripts, and shows that, in both languages, presentation miniatures seem to be reserved for &quot;serious&quot; literature, such as national chronicles and translations of learned Latin material.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Treats Chaucer as a &quot;great&quot; poet and the &quot;father&quot; of English literature, commenting on the &quot;wonderful&quot; range of tones in his poetry, its relations with French and Italian works, its similarities with other late-medieval English works, and the perspectives of twentieth-century criticism, especially historicist approaches. Views the &quot;frivolous seriousness&quot; of PF as a harbinger of the &quot;great&quot; and sometimes &quot;perfect&quot; poetry of CT. BD is too closely linked to French courtly love tradition, which Chaucer elsewhere submits to the &quot;criticism of life,&quot; embodied in Pandarus in TC and in the various points of view of CT, where in his depictions of love Chaucer creates the &quot;language of the English tradition.&quot; Comments at length on tone and style in GP, MilT, WBP, KnT, MerT, PrT, MLT, ClT, and FranT.]]></dcterms:description>

Chaucer&#039;s Troilus is &quot;tragicomic,&quot; a &quot;sympathetic parody&quot; of the courtly lover and &quot;far removed from the hero of romance.&quot; He is &quot;essentially a high mimetic figure with tendencies to the low mimetic form,&quot; lacking the superior powers of expression characteristic of a true hero.]]></dcterms:description>
