    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Investigates the restless &quot;emotional movement&quot; of &quot;roaming&quot; in KnT, as expression of both confined frustration and openness to new adventures enacted by Palamon, Emelye, and Arcite. Compares Chaucer&#039;s depictions of these movements and emotions with those found in Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Teseida,&quot; and compares Emelye&#039;s roaming with Dorigen&#039;s in FranT, Constance&#039;s in MLT, and Hypsipyle&#039;s in LGW.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Studying four families of emotion words (wrath, anger, annoyance, grief) in the Chaucer canon, Diller draws several conclusions:  the introduction of emotion words from French and their rivalry with native English words deserve close scrutiny; semantic study of emotion words is inextricably intertwined with their stylistic and cultural study; and such study may bring a new perspective to the question of whether emotions are universal or culture-specific.]]></dcterms:description>

A further contradiction is &quot;that the Prioress, whose faith and emotion seem so shallow and misplaced&quot; in GP, &quot;should utter so ardent a prayer at all.&quot;  Spector deconstructs &quot;the moral dichotomy in her depiction of Christian-Jewish relations&quot; to challenge the notion of Chaucer&#039;s anti-Semitism..]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores how the character Theseus in KnT does and does not embody principles of political philosophy found in Boethius&#039;s &quot;Consolation of Philosophy.&quot; Combining &quot;idealism and political exigency,&quot; Theseus fulfills the &quot;composite model of an ideal&quot; late-medieval ruler, but not that of a Boethian philosopher. His closing speech aligns with the &quot;Empedoclean model&quot; or worldview, in which strife and love vie in a mechanistic way.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s works reflect a pattern of concern with the realist-nominalist issues of language. Early on, Chaucer critiques realism, and, later on, nominalism, while TC and especially CT pose the two views in dialogic debate. Fragment 6 (Phyt and PardT) represents the opposed extremes and then undermines them, exemplifying how Chaucer struggled with his predecessors and anticipated the Renaissance.]]></dcterms:description>

Argues in particular that Chaucer&#039;s influence on &quot;A Midsummer Night&#039;s Dream has been underestimated, and documents the breadth of his role in shaping Shakespeare&#039;s &quot;medievalism.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
