    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Magic in Medieval Romance from Chrétien de Troyes to Geoffrey Chaucer]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Magic enables discussion of contemporary political and social issues and timeless questions of faith, love, loyalty, fate, and destiny. The concluding chapter shows how magic in FranT enables discussion of free will and challenges the Franklin&#039;s concept of nobility. By mixing illusion and magic, Chaucer debates fundamentals of social status and issues of contemporary class-climbing.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Correlates the disappearance of the rocks in FranT to an extremely high tide that occurred on December 19, 1340, perhaps the year of Chaucer&#039;s birth. Calculates the date using the Toledan or Alfonsine Tables known to Chaucer. The clerk in FranT knows of the astrological explanation but in no way causes the disappearance.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Both Boccaccio in Decameron and Chaucer in FranT rewrite the story of Menedon from Filocolo, and both investigate whether social worth is dependent on lineage or character. While Boccaccio emphasizes the new urban nontraditional man, Chaucer attempts to merge nostalgia and emergent modernism.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[FranT is about people&#039;s vulnerability to themselves, about the intimate connection between their identities--or senses of self--and their bodies, about how this vulnerability compromises moral strength and capacity for spiritual fulfillment, and about their capacity to delude themselves about the well-being of their souls and the world as long as they are assured of the well-being of their bodies.]]></dcterms:description>

Pairing tales, pouring over large sections of text, and engaging in self-reflections (although possibly intended by Chaucer) are modern methods of viewing literature.]]></dcterms:description>

Since virginity is not analogous to the virtues affirmed at the end of ClT, the moralization ill suits the plot and reflects male desire to control female sexuality.]]></dcterms:description>

Pizan&#039;s version is more clearly feminist than ClT, which presents a male viewpoint addressed to a community of male gazers, thinkers, and readers.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Surveys the use of Latin beast fables in medieval schools and the legacy of this material in the works of late-medieval authors who were educated in the tradition and who wrote in English. Focuses on fables associated with the legendary Roman emperor Romulus and explores adaptations of this and related materials in NPT, John Lydgate&#039;s &quot;Isopes Fabules,&quot; and Robert Henryson&#039;s &quot;Morall Fabillis.&quot; Chaucer and Henryson more successfully adapted the conventions of the tradition than did Lydgate. Includes five appendices of Latin fables, English translations, commentaries, and apparatus. Chapter four is a revised version of &quot;Commentary Displacing Text: The Nun&#039;s Priest&#039;s Tale and the Scholastic Fable Tradition&quot; (SAC 20 [1998], no. 234).]]></dcterms:description>
