    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Dreams in Chaucer function as authoritative texts within power structures.  In PF, the systems represented by Affrycan and Nature protect authoritative knowledge and devalue individual experience.  In TC, because knowledge and belief are interactive, the protagonists are complicit in their obedience to dreams, while Pandarus&#039;s subversive challenge finally reinforces dominant power.  In NPT, Pertelote more overtly questions authoritative discourse.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines gardens in Chaucer&#039;s narratives as a means to show how literary and social conventions impose constraints and provide opportunities for the poet and characters alike to react to conventions.  Surveys literary and historical gardens with which Chaucer was familiar, showing how medieval parks anticipate Renaissance formal gardens and how medieval gardens carry complex metaphorical, rhetorical, and cultural values, as well as implications for genre.]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In BD and PF, Chaucer adapts familiar garden topoi to escape their conventionality.  In TC, gardens create the illusion of safety for the lovers, but like conventions of courtly love, the illusion betrays them.  In KnT, MerT, and FranT, gardens manifest the efforts of men to control women and of women to break this control.  As women escape control, so Chaucer escapes literary conventions.]]></dcterms:description>

Sexually ambiguous, the Pardoner and the Summoner represent an equally ambiguous gendered poetic (Chapter 6).]]></dcterms:description>
