Reads CT sequentially, tale by tale, focusing on Chaucer&#039;s &quot;command of language and his grasp of the complex workings of poetic implication that enable him to communicate his subtle perceptions so well.&quot; Recurrent attention to diction, syntax, stylistic registers, imagery, and various prosodic features.]]></dcterms:description>

Includes recurrent attention to Chaucer&#039;s sources in Boccaccio and Petrarchan, to Marian imagery, and to the Clerk as humorist.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Treats PhyT as an instance of Chaucer&#039;s use of &quot;indirection&quot; when applying a moral to an exemplary narrative. Like ManT in this respect (also ClT, NPT, and part of TC), and unlike its analogues in Livy, Gower, and the &quot;Roman de la Rose,&quot; PhyT closes with an interpretation that is inconsistent with its action; it thereby highlights a theme of the tragic nature of the world &quot;where personal knowledge of sin is the best qualification for a parent, guardian, or judge.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Not evident in the French source of RvT, these sexual innuendoes underlie its theme of &quot;poetic justice.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses the Pardoner as a &quot;puzzle&quot; posed by Chaucer to challenge his audience to consider the relationship between morality and story-telling. The Pardoner&#039;s dazzling rhetoric, his relics, and the tensions between his immoral prologue and moral tale imply that there is no inner meaning within superficial reality. The Pardoner poses &quot;language without morality,&quot; but through his adaptation of the &quot;Roman de la Rose&quot; in the Host&#039;s rejection of the churchman, Chaucer subverts the Pardoner&#039;s stance and affirms inner meaning and truth.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Tallies Chaucer&#039;s modifications of his sources in ManT, especially the digressions he adds, to show that the &quot;subject of the tale is language.&quot; In his tale, the Manciple &quot;sneers at&quot; people who &quot;can be distracted from empirical reality by language,&quot; much as he ridicules then distracts the Cook in ManP and manipulates his employers in GP. The Manciple&#039;s cynical performance sets the stage for the Parson&#039;s earnest use of language.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that the Clerk&#039;s Envoy &quot;generates a unifying theme which runs through&quot; MerT--the possibilities of &quot;perfection and imperfection in marriage, expressed as paradise and purgatory&quot;--an echo of the concern with &quot;purgatory&quot; in WBPT. Explores the &quot;double irony&quot; Chaucer achieves in the Envoy by welding his concern with wifely obedience to Petrarch&#039;s assertion of moral constancy, and shows where the language, imagery, and themes of marriage, paradise, and purgatory run throughout these materials.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Rejects readings of MerT as &quot;savage and mordant self-revelation&quot; of the Merchant, characterizing the Merchant&#039;s wife as more similar to the Wife of Bath and the Host&#039;s Goodelief than to May. MerP is an extension of the Clerk&#039;s Envoy, the Merchant should not be identified with Januarie, and MerT is more comic and joyful than bitter. Includes hypotheses about Chaucer&#039;s sequence of composition in CT parts 4 and 5.]]></dcterms:description>

Passionate love and Christian love are &quot;irreconcilable&quot; in the poem, and from the Proem of Book 3 forward, Chaucer employs an &quot;intensifying program of disguise&quot; of this irreconcilability, which constitutes his willful and knowing attempt to &quot;evade the strict terms of medieval religion.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
