    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Ethics and Enjoyment in Late Medieval Poetry]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines pleasure, happiness, and enjoyment in late-medieval literature as it was influenced by Aristotle&#039;s &quot;Nicomachean Ethics,&quot; mediated by commentaries and the &quot;Roman de la Rose.&quot; Considers a balance of intellectualism and voluntarism, and an ethical emphasis on worldly pleasure, in Machaut, Froissart, Langland, Deguileville, and Chaucer. BD contrasts the narrator&#039;s ethical numbness with the self-transcending love of Alcyone and of the Black Knight. The &quot;nexus of courtly and clerkly felicity&quot; installs a new kind of Boethianism and animates the ethics of TC where happiness is the end of human desire. Dorigen of FranT embodies an &quot;intellectual and erotic commitment to mutual experience and emotion.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Ethics and Exemplary Narrative in Chaucer and Gower]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines the ethics of exemplarity in &quot;Confesso Amantis&quot; and in CT, arguing that reading for the moral--deliberating ethically--is improvisatory and reflexive and aims at practice rather than theory. Exemplarity involves the reader in its moral rhetoric, inviting a taxonomic practice of considering similar cases and an act of reduction to make a decision.]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chapters 1 and 2 consider the intuitive recognition of a moral, the reader&#039;s extracting of meaning from exempla, the use of example in classical rhetoric, and the rise of homiletic compilations in the Middle Ages. Chapters 3 and 4 argue that Gower, like Chaucer, challenges univocal meaning by offering readers contrary exempla--the morals of which readers determine according to their personal circumstances and conscience.]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chapters 5-7 examine WBP, FrT, SumT, PardP, PardT, ClT, Mel, and ParsT, arguing that Chaucer critiques the misuse of exemplarity (but not the genre) and analyzing how readers derive morals from the tales and tales within tales, the teller, or a combination of these features.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer uses his naïve narrator to achieve an effective balance among the rhetorical appeals of ethos, pathos, and logos in CT.  Also, this narrator&#039;s view of the Prioress overwhelms her appeal to ethos in PrPT and her heavy emphasis on pathos also undermines her credibility. Effective and ineffective rhetorical appeals are also evident in the contrast between the Parson and the Pardoner.]]></dcterms:description>
