    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Fulwiler looks at how &quot;Babe&quot; and NPT use the genre of animal fable and prosopopoeia to create moral tales. Sentence and solaas combine in &quot;Babe,&quot; as in Chaucer, to intrigue the audience into deeper exploration of the story. Via structure, setting, characterization, and typology, &quot;Babe&quot; and Chaucer exhibit a world where both humans and animals are capable of Christian goodness.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[By assigning his English translation of Raymund of Pennaforte&#039;s &quot;orthodox&quot; yet &quot;contritionist&quot; &quot;Summa de poenitentia&quot; to the Parson, Chaucer subtly resists the emphasis on oral confession to priests that characterized the doctrine of penance of his day. In this way, he began a trend followed by fifteenth-century writers such as Julian of Norwich, Eleanor Hull, Margery Kempe, and Thomas Hoccleve.]]></dcterms:description>

In Bo, Chaucer demonstrates his understanding of this consolation by highlighting Philosophy&#039;s references to time; however, by rendering the work entirely in prose, Chaucer leaves a metrical &quot;aestheticization&quot; of time for another work: CYT is a work of &quot;verse alchemy,&quot; in which Chaucer &quot;writes his own consolation,&quot; though one of &quot;poetry, rather than . . . prosimetrum.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

At the same time, Troilus&#039;s five books parallel the steps in Boethius&#039;s epistemology of knowledge: sensing (Book I), imagining (Book II), reasoning (Books III and IV), and knowing (Book V).]]></dcterms:description>
