    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Investigates whether modern translation theory can be usefully applied to the Middle Ages, when the &quot;skopos&quot; or &quot;wider development of the literary culture&quot; differed so widely from today&#039;s cultures.

Considers aspects of dress as they distinguished peasants and gentry in the Old French pastourelle and its descendant, the bergerie, and follows this legacy into more sharply satiric German mock pastourelles and social satires, influenced by fabliaux. Examines &quot;transgressive&quot; details of dress and physiognomy in Chaucer&#039;s GP description of the Miller, Alisoun of MilT, Symkyn of RvT, and the Squire&#039;s Yeoman of GP, focusing on indications of class, social aspiration, and urban/rural opposition.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Legacy of Apollo: Antiquity, Authority, and Chaucerian Poetics]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Surveys the figure of Apollo in classical and medieval traditions, focusing on the figure in Chaucer&#039;s works as an embodiment of the poet&#039;s understandings of poetic authority. Chaucer &quot;mythologized a new idea of authorship in English,&quot; escaping scholastic formulations of poetic authority and exploring the role of the poet as &quot;&#039;vates,&#039; inspired vessel of truth,&quot; a &quot;proto-humanist&quot; outlook anchored in classical tradition. Chaucer&#039;s Apollo is more Ovidian than Virgilian, although Chaucer explores the latter version in TC. In Fragment 5 of CT (SqT and FranT), Apollo is a figure of poetic inspiration, conceived in a way that prompted Chaucer&#039;s descendants to regard him as such. In ManT, the depiction of Apollo implies that readers are responsible for shaping poetic authority.]]></dcterms:description>

In particular, chapter 2, &quot;Chaucer: Dealing with the Authorities, Or, Twisting the Nose That Feeds You,&quot; addresses Chaucer&#039;s humor as it relates to desire and authority in BD, TC, HF, PF, LGW, and CT. Hanning emphasizes how &quot;crises of desire and authority&quot; in each work provide &quot;ample opportunities for comic treatment of cultural and political issues of obvious importance to the poet&quot; (125).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Heinzelman examines the interdependencies of literary and legal discourses and the representations of women in them, seeking to define the development of the novel as a stage in the separation of the two discourses. She reads various French and English novels in this light and presents MLT and WBT as a pairing that anticipates the dynamic of legally affirmed normative behavior and reaction to it. The Man of Law seeks to replace unruly fantasy through law and hagiography, but the Wife responds by reinvesting romance with magic that is equated with the female body. The juxtaposition of the two Tales affirms that contrary narratives interact in ways that evoke ethical responses.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores literary composition as &quot;cybertextuality,&quot; employing a fusion of cognitive theory, stylistic analysis, computer applications, and attribution studies. The goal is to uncover the compositional processes of writers by examining their verbal habits and their comments on authorship, including references to the muses and other remarks on literary creation. Lancashire examines the foul papers and stylistic habits of a wide range of poets and writers, medieval to modern. Discussion of Chaucer (pp. 116-33 and elsewhere) focuses on repeated phrases and on how patterns in repetition vary over the course of the composition of CT. Also comments on HF.]]></dcterms:description>
