    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that Chaucer&#039;s additions to his sources in PhyT (Virginia&#039;s speech and the reference to Jephthah&#039;s daughter) convey a sense of masculine blindness to feminine reality--seeing only the &quot;transient conditions of beauty, youth, and virginity.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In TC, Chaucer shows the &quot;inter-relatedness of the moral and the aesthetic&quot; by demonstrating the &quot;corruption and debasement&quot; of key concepts: &quot;honour,&quot; &quot;worthiness,&quot; &quot;gentilesse,&quot; &quot;manhood,&quot; and &quot;trouthe.&quot; Such debasement reflects the inevitable failure of human pursuit of ideals and the parallel failure of the poet as creator to imitate the divine Creator.]]></dcterms:description>

The characterizations of MerT (especially the &quot;mental blindness&quot; of January) are more like those in &quot;Decameron&quot; 7.9 than those in Matthew of Vendome&#039;s &quot;Comoedia Lydidae,&quot; a possible source for both later tales. As well, details in &quot;Decameron&quot; 2.10 may have influenced January&#039;s potions and aphrodisiacs.]]></dcterms:description>
