    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Contrary to earlier critical opinion, the &quot;Ballade to Chaucer&quot; demonstrates very little about Chaucer&#039;s renown outside court circles in southern England; it cannot necessarily be read as a sincere expression of Deschamp&#039;s opinion of Chaucer the poet.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that the Bible is a far more pervasive influence on Chaucer than has been previously recognized.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Because Chaucer was torn between the Church&#039;s traditional stance that the Bible should not be available to the laity and his feeling that the laity should have direct access to the Bible, it was easy for critics of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to claim him as their ancestor.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses John Shirley&#039;s role in the construction of the canon of Chaucer&#039;s shorter poems, using as test cases three poems attributed to Chaucer by Shirley but not by modern tradition:  &quot;The Chronicle [of Nine Women] Made by Chaucer&quot; (Bodleian Library MS Ashmole 59) and &quot;The Balade of a Reeve&quot; and &quot;The Plowman&#039;s Song&quot; (British Library MS Additional 16165). Modern editors reject the three, seemingly because of muddled details or obscenity.  However, Shirley&#039;s attributions and the relations of the poems to LGW and CT should encourage editors to recognize that the evidence for attributing most of the shorter poems is indeterminate. Includes an edition of each of the three poems.]]></dcterms:description>
