    <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[  Alice was a washerwoman of the royal household--perhaps a prostitute--and the double identity of Alceste-Alice establishes a &quot;flexible morality&quot; for the poem, &quot;a model of moral relativism and tolerance.&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.  This salvific language links the spiritual and the physical, God and humanity.]]></dcterms:description>

Focuses on the diction and imagery of CYP, on CYT as a negative exemplum, and on the Yeoman&#039;s final rejection of alchemy as evidence of Chaucer&#039;s disclosure of &quot;the misuse of power and human intellect and the impact of moral blindness.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
