    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Abandoned Women: Rewriting the Classics in Dante, Boccaccio, and Chaucer]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Hagedorn emphasizes the variety of versions of classical stories of abandoned women (Statius, Virgil, and Ovid) and the ways they were adapted in medieval tradition (e.g., Dante&#039;s &quot;Inferno&quot;; Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Teseida,&quot; &quot;Fiammetta,&quot; and &quot;Amorosa Visione&quot;; and Chaucer&#039;s KnT, TC, and LGW). In Statius&#039;s &quot;Thebaid,&quot; Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Teseida,&quot; and Chaucer&#039;s KnT, Theseus tries to correct and channel the aggressions of the Theban royal family, despite hints of corruption in his past. In LGW (Ariadne), Theseus reflects his dubious past; in Anel, the amorous past of Arcite parallels Theseus&#039;s. Hagedorn explores relationships with &quot;Heroides&quot; elsewhere in LGW, arguing that the Dido account indicates more than one way to tell a story. TC reads &quot;Heroides&quot; subversively, since its tales of abandoned women in TC underly the abandonment of Troilus, a man.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Abandoned Women: Studies of an Ovidian Theme in the Works of Dante, Boccaccio, and Chaucer]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Ovid undercuts epic male heroism, treating the emotional cost to the women deserted by Achilles, Theseus, Ulysses, and Aeneas and casting a shadow on these heroes in the works of Dante, Boccaccio, and Chaucer (KnT, LGW, TC).  Bakhtin&#039;s views illuminate the conflict between Virgilian and Ovidian treatments of Dido in Chaucer&#039;s work.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Considers the lack of extensive glosses and commentaries on late Middle English literature, including Chaucer, arguing that in England, unlike on the Continent, the concern with &quot;translatio studii&quot; (transferring the authority of the ancients to the present) was &quot;tainted by the Lollards&quot; and their promotion of the vernacular.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Absent Narratives, Manuscript Textuality, and Literary Structure in Late Medieval England]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Scala studies absence as a structural feature of late-medieval English narratives, arguing that absence reflects the manuscript culture in which the narratives are preserved and that it is reflected in the critical and theoretical responses to these narratives. She focuses on BD, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, SqT, KnT, Gower&#039;s Confessio Amantis, and Malory&#039;s Morte Darthur, seeking &quot;to analyze late medieval narrative across generic divides&quot; and to track the development of the &quot;self-conscious medieval narrator&quot; by examining what is left out.]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The incomplete stories alluded to in BD mirror the poem&#039;s textual uncertainties and the inauguration of Chaucer&#039;s poetic career. The absences and leaps of SqT echo out from MLE and reflect into Anel and KnT, epitomizing the reception of SqT and Chaucer&#039;s narrative technique. KnT is in several ways like SqT. KnT and SqT, the only father-son pairing of CT, embody an Oedipal story that is lacking in both CT and its origination.]]></dcterms:description>
