    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Early Reception of Chaucer and Langland]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Although both were Londoners, Chaucer and Langland did not share a common readership. Chaucer was acknowledged as a founder of a literary tradition; Langland was appropriated less often and more in ideological than aesthetic terms. Ownership of Langland manuscripts was chiefly clerical and provincial; Chaucer manuscripts were chiefly &quot;urban and urbane&quot; and more inclusive of female readers. In the sixteenth century, reception of the two merged briefly in Reformation anti-Catholicism.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Witness Much Abused: BL MS Harley 7334 and the Stemma of the Canterbury Tales]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Reexamines the &quot;paradoxical evidence&quot; of Ha4, arguing that Manly and Rickert&#039;s discussion of it was distorted by their a priori assumptions and their concluding that Chaucer&#039;s foul papers &quot;served as the exemplar&quot; of the manuscript. The affiliations of the manuscript reflect methodical collation; the character of its text suggests that it was copied from a working draft. While the &quot;tightness&quot; in its construction indicates that the scribe had all the fragments before him, its rubrics are derived rather than copied-evidence that it was copied before circulation.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses orthographic and lexical &quot;Scottishisms&quot; and their effects on meter in the poems of Bodleian MS Arch Selden B. 24, including TC, PF, LGW, CT, Truth, and poems by Hoccleve, Lydgate, and others. The density of such Scottishisms is generally &quot;variable and relative, open to extension and intensification,&quot; although there is some evidence of increased &quot;Scottification&quot; in manuscripts copied later than Selden B. 24.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Variants among pragmatic markers-&quot;items which add to the feel of the line or to the organization of the text rather than directly to the sense of the passage&quot;-in the manuscripts of WBP indicate that scribes changed them freely, even subconsciously. Hence, such variants must be used with special caution when seeking to establish manuscript stemmata.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Deschamps&#039;s &quot;Ballade&quot; dates from Sir Lewis Clifford&#039;s diplomatic mission to the French court in 1391, when France and England were closer to peace than they had been in almost a decade. Both Chaucer and Deschamps were associated with the Order of the Passion of Jesus Christ, which was dedicated to the restoration of peace among Christian rulers in the West. The poem indicates that, at the very least, &quot;Deschamps was encouraging a poetic dialogue with Geoffrey Chaucer.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Making of Chaucer&#039;s English : A Study of Words]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Historical analysis of Chaucer&#039;s complete lexicon, arguing that his English is traditional rather than innovative. Chaucer naturalizes French and Latin words in ways similar to those of his English predecessors, often fusing foreign and native forms. Despite the &quot;developmental hermeneutic&quot; that has been assumed by scholars, Chaucer&#039;s lexical habits do not evolve significantly throughout his career. Instead, Chaucer uses the inventiveness inherent in traditional English to create the illusion of his own novelty. The success of this artful illusion underlies a &quot;myth of origins&quot; that produced-and continues to reinforce-the notion that he was unusually innovative. Includes an index of 9,117 &quot;Words Studied,&quot; indicating their MED/OED citation, etymology, first-known uses, first uses in Chaucer, and frequency in Chaucer.]]></dcterms:description>
