    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Investigating the period between 1431 and 1631, Summit argues that libraries--particularly the Parker, the Cotton, and  the Bodleian--enabled early modern projects of historical and cultural redefinition concurrent with Reformation ideology and encouraged perceptions of the alterity of the Middle Ages. Methods of acquisition, cataloguing, and textual scholarship directly supported this self-fashioning. Manuscript-based texts such as Thomas Speght&#039;s edition of Chaucer&#039;s &quot;Works&quot; suggest the  simultaneous inclusion and defamiliarization of the past embedded in the libraries&#039; reinvention of communal memory.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Maciulewicz examines Neoclassical rewritings of medieval texts, focusing on Dryden&#039;s and Pope&#039;s  reworking of Chaucer (CT and HF). Close readings show that eighteenth-century revisions seek to elevate Chaucer to promote national literature and, simultaneously, to polish and/or modernize Chaucer&#039;s language for contemporary readers. These rewritings of Chaucer &quot;reveal as much about the time in which they were created as about Chaucer&#039;s own period.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

The chapter on Chaucer explores the role of sentiment in children&#039;s versions of CT, from Mary Eliza Haweis&#039;s Chaucer for Children (1877) to the &quot;decline of interest&quot; in such versions  in the 1930s.]]></dcterms:description>
