    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s use of the interjection &quot;Oo&quot; in KnT (2533) is adduced as a stage in the history of &quot;Ahoy&quot; going back to the Anglo-French verb &quot;oir&quot; (to hear, listen).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Contrary to critical tradition, Chaucer did not necessarily abandon LGW in boredom.  A reading with attention to the discrepancies between LGWP and the legends, and to their ordering and their figurative language, reveals a careful and purposeful structure as well as structural, thematic, and aesthetic completeness.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines the pervasiveness of love iconography and tradition in PF.  Reviews various interpretations, political and social, and sees the &quot;center&quot; of the poem in the central line on the treacherous lapwing, a model for Chaucer&#039;s method with its many contradictions.  PF is a structure without a center.  Chaucer delights in the &quot;irresolvable diversity of the birds&#039; ideas about love.&quot;  Love in PF consists in &quot;yearning for a center and a meaning that are absent.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In playing on Alan&#039;s &quot;theological epic&quot; in HF, Chaucer projects a view of readerly interpretation as a key component of literary production, thus challenging the notions that poetry springs solely from inspiration and &quot;that textual meaning could be securely sealed by an author.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In LGWP, Alceste is a more complicated character than is suggested by references to her in TC:  &quot;Alceste&#039;s truth, goodness, and faithfulness are offset in the Prologue by her obstinance, petulance, and fickleness.&quot;  Critical readings ignore the &quot;multiplicity of her roles&quot; in LGWP as &quot;protector and patron of the poet and as audience and literary critic of his work.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Most scholarly treatments of Chaucer and alchemy deal with whether Chaucer believed in alchemy or whether he condemned it, but Chaucer&#039;s primary concern with alchemy was to use it as &quot;symbolic language,&quot; especially in SNT and CYT.
