Chaucer used Innocent&#039;s treatise as a source for portions of MLPT, PardT, and perhaps elsewhere, and he may have translated it. Lewis tabulates the influence of the treatise on Chaucer and argues that he indeed translated it as his (lost) &quot;Of the Wreched Engendrynge of Mankynde,&quot; identified in LGW G414-15.  Lewis also considers the date of Chaucer&#039;s translation and comments on the text that he may have used, exploring the evidence of the glosses to MLT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Curiosity and Pilgrimage: The Literature of Discovery in Fourteenth-Century England.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Investigates the relation between &quot;curiositas&quot; (vice-laden seeking of experience or knowledge) and pilgrimage (symbolic devotional journey) as a tension between desire for the physical and spiritual worlds, examining the theological underpinnings of the two concepts and exploring their depiction in Richard de Bury&#039;s &quot;Philobiblon,&quot; Mandeville&#039;s &quot;Travels,&quot; and Chaucer&#039;s CT. Throughout CT, &quot;curiosity undermines pilgrimage&quot; (92), reflecting the interpersonal competition and social tensions of Chaucer&#039;s late-medieval England. Part 1 and the Marriage Group &quot;dwell on order and disorder among neighbors and spouses; this is followed by a middle group of tales that stresses the social damage of tale-telling; and the work ends with tales and a non-tale that put an end to tale-telling&quot; (93). KnT, Mel, and ParsT pose standards of social, ethical, and moral stability that are countered by the other tales in various ways. Based on Zacher&#039;s Ph.D. dissertation, University of California, Riverside, 1969, &quot;&#039;Curiositas and the Impulses for Pilgrimage in Fourteenth-Century English Literature,&quot; Dissertation Abstracts International 30.10 (1970).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Studies the backgrounds and traditions of &quot;dream-poetry&quot; in English literature from the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, exploring poets&#039; awareness of writing within an ongoing tradition and their uses of the dream device to express their self-reflexive consciousness about being writers. Although not properly a genre, such poetry capitalizes on various earlier traditions of dreams and visions in literature (the Bible, Macrobius, Boethius, etc.), particularly the French &quot;Roman de le Rose.&quot; Considers Chaucer; the alliterative tradition of &quot;Pearl,&quot; &quot;Piers Plowman,&quot; &quot;Winner and Waster,&quot; etc.; and the &quot;Chaucerian tradition&quot; of Lydgate, Clanvowe, Dunbar, Skelton, Scottish poetry, and more.  Examines each of Chaucer&#039;s dream poems (BD, HF, PF, and LGWP) in turn, reading them as a developing sequence that reflects cognizance of real dreams. Also attends to Chaucer&#039;s comments on dreams in TC and NPT.]]></dcterms:description>
