    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Adjustments to the traditional narrative in ClT compel us to read Walter, Griselda, and the &quot;peple&quot; as complex characters, rich in ambiguity, in a setting that &quot;moves between an ideal and  real world&quot; (27). These complications enrich the simple morality of the Saint&#039;s Legend genre, and indicate that the Clerk is in an &quot;intellectual predicament,&quot; unable to be comfortable with simplistic morality.]]></dcterms:description>

Where Chaucer asks for &quot;scribal&quot; literalness in Adam, his profession that he is following his sources in TC &quot;conceals only to emphasize the richness of the grammarian-poet&#039;s embellishments,&quot; creating a kind of originality that is &quot;inter- rather than extralinear.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
