    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Comments on previous scholarship that seeks to clarify the GP description of the Guildsmen (1.361-78) and describes the possible political, economic, and religious affiliations among individuals of such professions as Chaucer assigns to them. Shows that that they should be understood to belong to a &quot;parish fraternity&quot; (i.e., one having no specific craft affiliation), specifically &quot;The Guild of St. Fabian and St. Sebastian, St. Botolph&#039;s Church, Aldersgate.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines HF as a literary satire, a comic send-up of the love vision genre, evident in the naiveté of the narrator and his failure to attain love or information about it. The poem&#039;s &quot;central structural idea&quot; is &quot;comic disillusionment,&quot; underscored by the narrator&#039;s sentimentality, his befuddlement, and the ironic replacement of the &quot;traditional court of Love&quot; by the &quot;palace of Fame and the house of rumor.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Describes Chaucer as the &quot;brilliant culmination of Middle English literature,&quot; commending his &quot;metrical craftsmanship&quot; in English, his &quot;European consciousness,&quot; and his &quot;relaxed, quizzical attitude that let him contemplate the varieties of human nature with a combination of sympathy, irony, and amusement, together with the good fortune to have opportunities to know men in all ranks of society.&quot; Chapter 4 (&quot;Chaucer, Gower, Piers Plowman&quot;), summarizes and discusses Chaucer&#039;s major works at much greater length than those of Gower and Langland; his innovations, influence, and relative excellence are mentioned elsewhere in this comprehensive literary history.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[In Search of Chaucer.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Engages several critical approaches to Chaucer works and incorporates them into appreciative commentaries, with particular attention to the poet&#039;s &quot;habit of working&quot; or process of composition, his narrative techniques (not inorganic, but accumulative), themes (the status of poetry and the value of reading), stylistic/rhetorical variety (especially allegory and naturalism), and poet-audience relations.  Organizes the discussions in three groups, i.e., Chaucer&#039;s &quot;spheres of interest&quot;: the dream world, mundane existence, and &quot;imagined life through reading,&quot; emphasizing how Chaucer may have created the works and how they mean. Discusses PF, LGWP, MkT, and PardPT in greatest detail, but treats all major works.]]></dcterms:description>
