    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Despite trends in textual theory and the capability of representing multiple versions of a text electronically, editors should present eclectic, reconstructed texts--not as representations of lost originals but as texts that best explain &quot;all the extant documents&quot; and give readers convenient points of departure. Robinson draws examples from Federico Sanguineti&#039;s discussion of Dante&#039;s Commedia, K. Wachtel and D. C. Parker&#039;s discussions of the Greek New Testament, and Elizabeth Solopova&#039;s GP on CD-ROM.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s model for the iambic pentameter line was Boccaccio&#039;s endecasillabo, not the French vers de dix. Chaucer introduced the &quot;void&quot; position, the &quot;extra unprominent syllable within the hemistich, and possibly the epic caesura.&quot; All of his pentameter poems show equal mastery of line, and verse analysis indicates that he is probably the author of the &quot;Ch&quot; poems.]]></dcterms:description>

Parametric comparison of Chaucer&#039;s and Lydgate&#039;s verse designs demonstrates Lydgate&#039;s use of a tradition older than Chaucer&#039;s iambic pentameter. Lydgate had only English and French models; Chaucer&#039;s verse design is revolutionary, influenced by Italian forms.]]></dcterms:description>

As a translator, Chaucer employs several methods of translation even within one text (Ven).
