    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examined in terms of Lacanian psychology and the concept of the king&#039;s two bodies, Chaucer&#039;s PF and Dunbar&#039;s &quot;Thrissill and the Rois&quot; reveal how patronized poets deal with sovereign discourse and their relation to it through bodily figuration.  Dunbar&#039;s rewriting of Chaucer&#039;s poem substitutes absolutist for pluralist discourse, ultimately showing that such a total absorption of the other is &quot;delusional.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores poetic speech acts (following the lead of J. L. Austin), treating Chaucer's dedication of his book in TC 5.1856-62 as an exemplary type of performative speech act--"the Chaucer-Type"--characterized by having three explicit constitutive features: "verbal form [grammatically first person singular present indicative active], self-guarantee, and self-reference." Analyzes uses of this type, by Chaucer and by later poets, to argue that speech act theory can be applied fruitfully to the study of poetry.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Spenser&#039;s indebtedness to Chaucer is several times acknowledged in &quot;The Faerie Queene,&quot; but only in a curious, ambiguous way, &quot;reducing rather than elevating Chaucer&#039;s reputation.&quot;  Chaucer, for example, was hardly the poet of &quot;warlike numbers&quot; that Spenser claims.  And Spenser&#039;s completion of SqT is in fact a revision of KnT with a new, Renaissance ideology.  Perhaps Chaucer&#039;s tolerance and skepticism made Spenser quietly rebel against his predecessor, affirming instead the values of the elite class.]]></dcterms:description>
