    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer and Englishness]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Although Chaucer&#039;s writings reflect the disposition of his time to exclude, in one way or another, those who are strangers in various communities, the poet is uninterested in England as a nation. Nonetheless, in the nineteenth century Chaucer came to be read as the poet of &quot;Englishness,&quot; and his work was appropriated to support xenophobic national ideologies. He may have lent himself to such appropriation, &quot;partly through his readiness to aestheticise difficult social realities.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Discusses Troilus and Criseyde, The Legend of Good Women Prologue, A Treatise on the Astrolabe, and The Canterbury Tales, especially Chaucer&#039;s Retraction.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s changes to Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Teseida&quot; in KnT introduce a concern with Cathar heresy. Until Theseus&#039;s final speech, the plot reflects cosmic dualism (Saturn and Jupiter), determinism, and pervasive sterility and evil. The poem is also touched by &quot;Inquisitorial language,&quot; and its recurrences of temple, endure, and Thrace align with Cathar concerns.]]></dcterms:description>
