    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Ends of Romance in Chaucer and Malory.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that, in select romances, Chaucer confronts &quot;serious matters&quot;--political, social, ethical, and aesthetic--and experiments with the range and flexibility of the genre, comparing KnT and WBT as metacritical romances that interrogate their own idealizations, and Th and SqT (also metacritical) as self-conscious experiments, concerned with the &quot;limitations and liabilities of romance patternings.&quot; Malory&#039;s &quot;experimental originality,&quot; on the other hand, lies in his  consolidation and unification of diverse romance materials.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Shows that &quot;actuarial forms of thinking&quot; underlie the CT, particularly the tale-telling contest, the opening and closing of the GP, sea-trade and risk in the GP descriptions of the Merchant and the Shipman, and associative links nbetween mercantilism and alchemy in CYPT. Considers predictive and determinative aspects of &quot;aventure,&quot; and explores the putatively modern issues of risk management, insurance, and credit in proto-capitalistic thought and practice as refracted in CT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Suggests John of Gaunt commissioned BD to elegize Blanche of Lancaster and to claim a &quot;new future,&quot; a move inspired by Edward I&#039;s memorialization of Eleanor of Castile. An &quot;important commission for Chaucer,&quot; BD gave him &quot;opportunity to begin to develop a perspective on history that guided his later thinking,&quot; characterized by ventriloquizing &quot;lessons taught by noble ladies&quot; reinforced through the poem&#039;s &quot;balancing references to Troy against those to Rome.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Shows that aspects of the late medieval &quot;pastoral program&quot; of obligating &quot;all Christians to admonish their neighbors about their sins&quot; underlies the Reeve&#039;s reproval of the Miller and the Canon&#039;s Yeoman&#039;s of the Canon.

While Chaucer&#039;s character echoes the duality of its predecessors, she is not a goddess--&quot;never characterized as a bride or daughter of the Christian God&quot;--but Chaucer uses &quot;Neoplatonic vocabulary . . . to signal that Fame should be understood as having real as well as rhetorical power,&quot; dispersing &quot;tydyngs&quot; in a context that is recognizably &quot;late-fourteenth-century London.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Assesses Ret as a recantatory formulation that asks its reader-confessors for prayer and commemoration--a confession of authorship that promotes &quot;enduring poetic authority.&quot; Addresses the fifteenth-century &quot;pray for Chaucer&quot; tradition and the excision of Ret from editions between the Reformation and the eighteenth century.]]></dcterms:description>
