    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Twelve essays on Spenser&#039;s knowledge of and uses of Chaucer as source or inspiration. The introduction by the editors summarizes earlier critical studies, describes the essays, and asserts that the essays together &quot;characterise the relationships between Chaucer and Spenser as involving intervention rather than imitation, as temporally disruptive, and both playfully and materially bound to the conceptual and physical spaces of the text as object.&quot; The volume includes a &quot;select bibliography&quot; of works on Chaucer and Spenser, and an index. For individual essays, search for Rereading Chaucer and Spenser under Alternative Title.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that John Gardner&#039;s &quot;The Life and Times of Chaucer&quot; (1977) is better approached as a &quot;nonfiction novel&quot; than as a &quot;scholarly literary biography&quot; and that its strengths outweigh its weaknesses as a pedagogical text, offering suggestions for how to use it in undergraduate classrooms.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Evaluates Godwin&#039;s &quot;Life of Chaucer&quot; and its impact on the Victorian reception of Chaucer, exploring how the biography critiques &quot;the politics of thinking national literature historically&quot; and challenges &quot;conventional models of literary biography&quot; that &quot;function ideologically&quot; and &quot;promote a homogeneous or colonizing model of national culture.&quot; Argues that the  work &quot;stresses a cosmopolitanism at the heart of Chaucer&#039;s writing which recasts Englishness as an interdiscipline, something that must be approached from multiple perspectives.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
