    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Surveys distinctions between the restrictive &quot;allegory of theologians&quot; and the expansive &quot;allegory of the poets,&quot; arguing that Chaucer&#039;s poetry is a radical form of the latter. Chaucer&#039;s works decenter the author and thereby pose &quot;new kinds of imaginative syllogism&quot; that prompt readers to various &quot;wrong&quot; readings and evoke parallels between political and readerly rebelliousness.
