    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Gossip, its meaning shifting from idle woman to idle talk, was treated as sinful and suspect in much clerical literature, including ParsT. Gossip in HF, WBP, and ShT provided Chaucer not only narrative techniques but also a method of experimentation with narrative.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Time-Bound Words : Semantic and Social Economies from Chaucer&#039;s England to Shakespeare&#039;s]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The words Corage/Courage, Estat/Estate, Fre/Free, Gloss, Kynde/Kind, Lewid/Lewd, Providence, Queynt/Quaint, Sely/Silly, Thrift, and Virtu/Virtue are time-bound. Like all other language, they are bound to and bounded by the social formation in which they occur, the horizon of what is imaginable in a particular time and place. Yet they are also headed into new territory. Each of the words indicates the horizon it helps to define in the Middle Ages and suggests a new understanding of society and culture in the early modern period. These words also influence societal and cultural change, sometimes impeding and sometimes impelling it. Examples of the words are drawn from all of Chaucer&#039;s major works.]]></dcterms:description>

Chaucer and Langland establish the two poles of conviviality and caution against drunkenness that recur throughout English literary history, later complicated by issues of class, gender, nostalgia, and stereotyping.]]></dcterms:description>
