    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[English political poetry of the 1380s and 1390s was deeply marked by the self-image of the monarch, which shifted about the time of the Merciless Parliament (1388), as Richard II became more experienced and less playful. Chaucer&#039;s PF and revision of LGWP, Gower&#039;s rededication of &quot;Confessio Amantis,&quot; and Clanvowe&#039;s &quot;Boke of Cupide&quot; reflect the shift. Events of 1390-94 indicate John of Gaunt&#039;s efforts to establish a court culture through which his son, Henry of Derby, could claim a dynasty.]]></dcterms:description>
