    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that Chaucer favors the popular idea that Brittonic literature and history are primarily oral. By doing so, Chaucer distances his contemporary England, with its reliance on Latin textual and cultural authority, from the political reality of Welsh colonization and resistance, thus imposing a distance between English national history and the past of the Britons.]]></dcterms:description>

Assesses storytelling as a &quot;constitutive&quot; cultural force in the &quot;Decameron&quot; and as &quot;competitive&quot; social exchange in CT, concentrating on how characters in both collections &quot; &#039;deal with a chronically uncertain world, and with the formidable forces that create or perpetuate its uncertainty . . . to gain, maintain, or reclaim personal agency&#039;.&quot; (original emphasis). Particular attention to KnT, MilPT, RvPT, MLPT, WBPT, ClPT, MerPT, ShT, Mel, and ManT.]]></dcterms:description>
