    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines the philosophical content of Chaucer&#039;s dream visions--the interplay between the soul and its courtly context--arguing that in Chaucer&#039;s world, the ideal of courtesy rather than any explicitly spiritual principle holds together a fictive community. BD highlights the moral dilemmas of fin amor viewed from a spiritual perspective. The avian parliament in PF offers a political ideal as an enfranchised and socially beneficial courtly desire. In HF, &quot;commune profit&quot; replaces &quot;singuler profit&quot; through the protocols of courtliness. LGW presents two aspects of courtliness: a collective body of traditions and the promotion of counsel and reason, stimulating thought about fin amor.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Nature, Sex, and Goodness in a Medieval Literary Tradition]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Questions the notion that Nature was universally considered a positive force in the Middle Ages. Although depicted as God&#039;s vicar, Nature was also aligned with sexual impulses, complicating the image. White traces depictions of and attitudes toward nature and the natural in Latin tradition, English popular tradition, and French literature as they underlie the representations of nature in Gower&#039;s Confessio Amantis and Chaucer&#039;s works. Gower struggles to represent Nature as good but discovers that &quot;such belief&quot; is impossible to sustain. In ParsT and Mel, Chaucer expresses overt scepticism about the goodness of nature; in ManT and SqT, he uses Boethian material to suggest such scepticism. He provokes scepticism in his audience with BD and PF and employs similar strategies in PhyT and TC. Chaucer&#039;s view of the human condition is &quot;stalked by despair.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Gertz assesses 1337-1580 as the period of transition between the Middle Ages and the Early Modern era. Dynastic ambition, science, exploration, and disasters provide contexts and stimuli for the literature. In their rhetorical dexterity and highly crafted images, Chaucer and Shakespeare are exceptional writers, yet Chaucer was a diplomat and bureaucrat and Shakespeare was probably an actor as well as an entrepreneur. Much of the literature of the period reflects textured engagement of contemporary concerns, evident through close reading of rhetorical and semiotic systems. Chapter Two, &quot;Training, Religion and Treatises,&quot; discusses WBPT, and Chapter Five, &quot;Narrative and Lyric Poetry,&quot; discusses TC.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Tripartite study that first sketches the process of state formation in late-medieval England as a struggle between clerkly and chivalric cultures. Part II locates Chaucer&#039;s poetry within this process, assessing his reaction to chivalric culture in the portraits of the Squire and the Franklin in GP and in SqT and FranT; also assesses Chaucer&#039;s evaluation of clerkly culture in the portrait of the Clerk in GP, the opening of ClT, and MLP. To determine Chaucer&#039;s own position, Johnston analyses Th and Mel. Part III traces the reception of Chaucer&#039;s poetry by Gower, Usk, Scogan, and Hoccleve, who try to assimilate Chaucer and his poetry to their respective cultures. Includes two concluding chapters on Hoccleve and Lollardy and Reginald Pecock, and discusses illuminated Chaucer portraits.]]></dcterms:description>
