    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s distinction between &quot;makere&quot; and &quot;poete&quot; is found elsewhere in medieval writings.  Serving both to separate classical from contemporary and to distinguish artistic quality from moral seriousness, the distinction suggests the relationship between vernacular versifiers and Latin Christian humanists.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Studies the history of interpretation of BD, surveying scholarly commentary, material transmission, and late medieval/early modern creative reception. Emphasizes the (re)making of BD over time, by means of the interrelated textual processes of writing, reading, and reception modeled within the poem itself. As a work that, paradoxically, has been both marginalized and freighted with canonical import, BD impacts our understanding of Chaucerian authorship, English and French vernacularity, and the late medieval culture of book production in ways that demand fuller reckoning.]]></dcterms:description>

Finds &quot;less clarity and elegance&quot; in Chaucer&#039;s verse translation of Boethius in TC 4 than in Walton, but generally commends the subtlety and nuances of Chaucer&#039;s prose translation in Bo. Also comments on the &quot;Boke of Coumfort of Bois,&quot; Robert Henryson&#039;s &quot;Testament of Love,&quot; Chaucer&#039;s influence on them, and James I&#039;s &quot;Kingis Quair.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Chaucer&#039;s influence (especially WBT, FranT, and KnT) is neither close nor  sustained in plot, but echoes of language and various sequences of ideas indicate that Malory had read works by Chaucer (along with Lydgate&#039;s &quot;Pageant of Knowledge&quot; and various Middle English romances) in addition to the major French romances.]]></dcterms:description>
