    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Compares Gower&#039;s art and skill in using rhyme royal stanzas with Chaucer&#039;s, arguing that Chaucer&#039;s are superior and more flexibly adapted to narrative, largely because the &quot;fetters of the ballade stanza&quot; constrain Gower&#039;s dexterity.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Analyzes the textual record of RvT and identifies nineteen witnesses &quot;committed to accurate transmission&quot; of its northernisms whereas others translate northern dialect features or fail to recognize them (e.g., &quot;sal&quot; for &quot;shall&quot;). Discusses the &quot;widely-discussed &#039;fading&#039; of the northern dialect near the end of the tale,&quot; and shows that Oxford, Christ Church MS 152 &quot;perfectly epitomizes the multiple processes&quot; involved in the erosion of &quot;Chaucer&#039;s original intention&quot; regarding dialect in the Tale.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines the last stanza of TC, the first three lines of which are translated almost verbatim from Dante&#039;&#039;s &quot;Paradiso&quot; (14.28-30), and argues that the ending not only affirms Chaucer&#039;s debt to Dante, but is crucial for an understanding of the poem. Contends that TC, while a cohesive whole, &quot;is divided into thirds, even as it is divided in half,&quot; which has &quot;important implications for interpretive cruxes surrounding the poem.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Aligns the poem&#039;s themes of &quot;human futurity&quot; and poetic reception with Boethian &quot;hap&quot; and Derridean &quot;perhaps&quot; as contingent, &quot;precarious,&quot; and &quot;fraught-with-possibility.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
