    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucerian pathos derives from the rigidity of fourteenth-century social hierarchies.  In KnT, pity brings the ruler and ruled closer together; ClT advocates Christ-like endurance and humility for the weak and God-like justice and mercy for the powerful.  In ParsT, power and weakness, glory and humiliation are united in one paradoxical form.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Law and its applications influence literary audiences, and Chaucer exploits the possibilties variously.  In KnT, trial by combat fails to effect closure; Theseus must intervene.  Melibee&#039;s final verdict acts similarly in Mel.  In SumT, however, the closure is narrowly legalistic.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[  Chaucer fuses discursive gestures to separate authorial and narratorial voices.  In MilT, the fabliau resonates ironically with the science of music theory.  With its allusions to Virgil&#039;s &quot;Aeneid,&quot; HF exemplifies vernacular poetics derived from classical literature.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Reads Chaucer&#039;s works (especially CT) as his responses to and imaginings of the politics of his age, politics he experienced at home, in his journeys to Italy, and in his readings of Italian literature--especially that of Petrarch and Boccaccio but also that of Dante and Albertano of Brescia.]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The &quot;compagnye&quot; of GP represents the &quot;associational ideology&quot; of early Florentine humanism, while the despotism of KnT reflects the absolutist tyranny of Visconti Lombardy, the seedbed of later patronizing humanism.]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Aligning Boccaccio with associational forms and Petrarch with despotic ones, Wallace shows how Chaucer responds to his predecessors as he depicts feminine or wifely eloquence as desirable in politics, especially in Mel and LGWP (F version) and, obversely, in ManT.  Chaucer&#039;s fabliaux present tensions between the city and the country, while MLT explores mercantilism.  ClT and MerT examine humanism vs. tyranny; MkT depicts the fate of despotism.]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Wallace provides much new historical context for the works of Petrarch, Boccaccio, and Chaucer and argues that Chaucer adumbrates Shakespeare&#039;s humanism, although in a form more feminist and communal and less despotic.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Fourteenth-century nominalist challenges to realism also challenged the universalizing truth of proverbs.  Through his treatment of proverbs in NPT, WBP, and TC, Chaucer contrasts the &quot;sic&quot; of dominant realist discourse with the &quot;non&quot; of nominalist counterdiscourse, sometimes parodically.]]></dcterms:description>

Conjointure, verbal play, etymologizing, and transfer of meaning typify Chaucerian translation, exemplified in Troilus&#039;s complaint from Petrarch (TC 1.400-420) and emblematized in the magic ring and brass steed of SqT.  Taylor also explores the point at which Chaucer stops translating in Rom, the personification of sound in HF, and various instances of verbal play in CT.]]></dcterms:description>
