Suggests that the data may indicate intentional characterization in CYPT and WBP while, in the other cases, it may be attributable to an early date of composition or, perhaps, non-Chaucerian authorship.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A close reading of the structure, themes, and rich characterizations of TC, examined in comparison with its primary source, Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Filostrato,&quot; and with sustained attention to ancillary sources and Chaucer&#039;s particular emphases, especially the role of determinism. Argues that Chaucer&#039;s emphasis on time, settings, and inevitability universalizes his presentation of love beyond Boccaccio&#039;s personalized concern, while increased attention to courtliness deepens its ironies. Explores imagery and juxtaposition for the ways they also contribute to the ironic parallels between human and divine love in the poem.]]></dcterms:description>
