    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores how Dafydd&#039;s &quot;connections, and the lack of them, with Chaucer . . . illuminate the English author.&quot; The poets share modal and conceptual similarities, but they differ in style and genre. Chaucer is less a poet of nature than is Dafydd and less a social and poetic revolutionary.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer involves his readers in a romancelike quest of introspection. By way of infinite regression, they encounter first the text, then a reading character, and finally themselves. The process encourages both Socratic self-knowledge and pleasurable Narcissistic self-absorption. TC, BD, HF, MLT, MerT, WBPT, and NPT receive the most comment.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Crisis of Truth: Literature and Law in Ricardian England]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores patterns in the meanings and applications of two fundamental concepts in late-medieval English tradition: truth (trouthe), which shifted from &quot;integrity&quot; to &quot;conforming to fact&quot;; and treason, which shifted from &quot;personal betrayal&quot; to a &quot;crime against the state.&quot; Green confronts issues of orality and literacy, legal uses of the terms, and the rapid spread of vernacular literacy. He considers the notions in light of the revolt of 1381; the 1397 treason trial of Richard Fitzalan, earl of Arundel; and the rise of Lollardy. He examines literary treatments of promises and bargains, including Dorigen&#039;s rash promise in FranT, the &quot;gratuitous&quot; promise in FrT, and promises in Gower&#039;s Confessio Amantis, Piers Plowman, and elsewhere. Traces parallel issues in modern West African literature.]]></dcterms:description>
