It is a work of considerable wit and subtlety, presenting a &quot;libidinous narrator,&quot; a virtuous cuckoo who embodies Christian truth, and a series of literary jokes that involve Chaucer.]]></dcterms:description>

Chaucer&#039;s &quot;alternating metre has frequent stress subordination, but it is less clear that it makes systematic use of stress spacing,&quot; found more frequently in alliterative and Shakespearean meters.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Contemplates social status and social mobility in Chaucer&#039;s works, considering them in light of contemporaneous attitudes.  Focuses on Chaucer&#039;s uses of &quot;degree&quot; and the ladder of degree as a &quot;symbol of social mobility,&quot; inflected by Chaucer&#039;s comic worldly &quot;cynicism&quot; and his &quot;profound religious skepticism&quot; about such mobility. Also addresses the gentle / churl distinction in Chaucer&#039;s works as social and moral categories, as devices of characterization, and as reflections of Chaucer&#039;s own status.]]></dcterms:description>

In KnT, especially in the temple of Diana, Chaucer explores the role of women in a masculinist society. The fusion of classical and Celtic in FranT creates a &quot;fantasia&quot; that may have inspired Shakespeare&#039;s Cymbeline.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Beyond the use of sources (Homer, Virgil, Ovid, Dante, Boccaccio, Jean de Meun, and Petrarch), Chaucer is a &quot;medieval classicist&quot; in his understanding and use of classical poetic techniques.  In TC, he attempts to &quot;reconstruct a spiritually foreign culture&quot;--a &quot;religious archaeology.&quot;  Chaucer, a creative imitator, consciously uses &quot;amphibologies&quot; and &quot;ambages&quot; (ambiguities) to unite poetic past and artistic tradition. ]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Fleming explores the confrontation of pagan past and Christian present in TC, showing how Chaucer used &quot;the tragic limitations of the lovers, mirrored by those of a doomed civilization, to examine fatally inadequate conceptions of loving and speaking.&quot;  He treats ambiguity, &quot;dramatized images of religious and amatory idolatry,&quot; and &quot;the many-layered theme of &#039;interpretation&#039;&quot;.]]></dcterms:description>
