    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Comments on the roles and methods of folklore study in literary criticism, arguing that international folktales are as important as elite narratives for understanding  and appreciating medieval literature. Discusses plots shared by Boccaccio and Chaucer (RvT, ClT, MerT, FranT, ShT) and assesses relations between FrT and an analogous Irish folktale. Also discusses the Proem to Book 4 of the &quot;Decameron&quot; and its analogues.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Identifies allusions in SumT to biblical passages that were used by fraternal orders and criticized in antifraternal commentary. The allusions, which engage a &quot;theological controversy well known in Chaucer&#039;s time,&quot; satirize friars&#039; hypocritical claims to apostolic and Pentecostal associations, excoriated by William of St. Amour (&quot;De Periculus&quot;) and others; they help to integrate the fart-wheel scene with the rest of the tale and exemplify how Chaucer creates comedy through learned materials.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that Chaucer&#039;s influence on Edmund Spenser&#039;s &quot;Shepheardes Calendar&quot; is &quot;deeper and far more extensive&quot; than previously recognized. In particular, manipulations of the &quot;hidden narrator&quot; in Spenser are similar to similar techniques in CT and LGW, and Spenser&#039;s &quot;concern with poetry and love&quot; parallels the similar concern found among the dream-vision narrators of BD, PF, HF, and LGW.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Articulates various &quot;levels of perception&quot; manipulated by Chaucer to create comic irony through his personae in BD, HF, PF, LGW, and CT. The &quot;Chaucerian pose&quot; is relatively constant in the early poems where the narrator is a &quot;reasonable man&quot; (but &quot;no more than this&quot;) whose common sense sets a standard by which the audience is guided to higher perception. In CT Chaucer &quot;takes himself down a peg&quot; by declaring his ignorance, thereby intensifying comedy through increasing caricature. Such self &quot;degradation&quot; indicates the personality of the poet.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that in translating Renaud de Louens&#039;s &quot;Le Livre de Mellibee&quot; in his own Mel, Chaucer created an &quot;overtly rhetorical style for purposes of parody.&quot; Probably an expansion of an earlier, abridged translation by Chaucer, Mel is characterized by sonic repetitions, amplifications, and overt rhythms that show the narrator to be &quot;bumbling&quot; and, in turn, help characterize the Host as a flawed critic. Mel contributes to the Marriage Group and the Literature Group of CT.]]></dcterms:description>

Tabulates and assesses metrical features of several Middle English poems, including several by Chaucer, exploring the development of English prosody from Old English verse to Coleridge and Shelley. Chaucer&#039;s early verse differs from preceding ME poetry in its &quot;uniform number of ictuses per line&quot; and its &quot;almost complete identity of syllabic intervals between ictuses&quot;; it is  characteristically &quot;syllabo-tonic.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Similar threats of form overwhelming content are evident in the tale&#039;s treatment of time, its overt structural patterning, its uses of &quot;occupatio,&quot; and its offering of aesthetic order in place of divine perfection.]]></dcterms:description>
