    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Fifteenth-century English poets &quot;responded&quot; to an evolving &quot;climate of patronage by inventing a new tradition of public and elite poetry&quot; that included the role of poet laureate (although the office was not official until John Dryden&#039;s appointment in 1668). Poets who proclaimed themselves Chaucer&#039;s disciples, particularly John Lydgate, retroactively fashioned Chaucer as England&#039;s first poet laureate, even though Chaucer himself was suspicious of the concept.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In the fifteenth century, Chaucer was admired chiefly as the founder of English eloquence, betraying English anxiety about French influences. The patronage networks that promoted Chaucer as a literary icon also promoted translations of the works of Pizan. Appropriation of her work through literary circles, centered on men such as Thomas Hoccleve, John of Bedford, Sir John Fastolf, Stephen Scrope, Anthony Woodville, and William Caxton, serves &quot;as a metonymy for what was specifically English about English literature.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Using the image of a volume of collected leaves, Chaucer explores the &quot;twin problems of rivalry and rehearsal&quot; in his sequence of MilP (the narrator&#039;s apology), MLP (the Man of Law&#039;s comments on Chaucer&#039;s writings), and WBPT (the tearing of Jankyn&#039;s book and the Midas exemplum). Responding in subtle ways to Dante, Virgil, and Ovid, Chaucer is concerned with poetic tradition and with shaping audience response as a way to make tradition. His adaptations reveal his awareness that English literature, written in an unrelated vernacular, depends on classical literature in ways that differ from Italian literary dependence on the classics.]]></dcterms:description>
