Draws examples from individual descriptions and from the broader pattern of introduction, followed by a &quot;pageant&quot; of details, and a &quot;kind of epilogue.&quot; Views the &quot;whole structure&quot; of GP as &quot;a sort of medieval bridge.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Challenges the theory that Chaucer wrote in iambic pentameter, assessing the evidence of Chaucer manuscripts, using them to argue that the prosody of Chaucer (and that of his fifteenth-century followers) depends upon length or duration rather than stress--rhetorical units rather than metrical ones--and that final -e should not be pronounced when reading this poetry. Represents prosodic patterns in musical notation.  For elaborations and adjustments to these arguments, see Southworth&#039;s &quot;The Prosody of Chaucer and His Followers&quot; (1962).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that the version of the Clerk&#039;s Envoy (4.1177-1212) found in the Ellesmere manuscript is the original version, modified by a scribe to compensate for an eye-skip error. Reassesses earlier arguments that the Ellesmere version is itself the revised version, adducing overall sense--especially pronoun references--to support the claim that Ellesmere provides the original. Also reassesses the status and placement of the so-called &quot;Host stanza&quot; (4.1212a-1212g).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses manuscript variants and stemmata, relations with source material, and &quot;scribal characteristics&quot; of PhyT to explain that they indicate scribal rather than authorial alteration. Argues that similar evidence, plus comparison with alterations from LGWP-F to LGWP-G and stylistic factors, indicate that Chaucer revised the Phy-Pard Link. Also argues that the epilogue to PardT shows no evidence of having been composed later the Tale itself.]]></dcterms:description>
