    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Discursive, analytic commentaries on KnT and ClT, treating source relations, styles, themes, rhetorical patternings, and aesthetic success in Chaucer&#039;s &quot;full realisation of the human predicament&quot; in both tales. The discussion of KnT emphasizes the combination of chivalric romance and philosophy, the involvement of the stars/gods, and Theseus&#039;s final speech; it includes comparisons with TC. Treats ClT as a &quot;religious fable&quot; in its diction, style, and allusions, and explores tensions among allegory, realism, and psychology--nearly &quot;irreconcilable,&quot; even though resolved by the Clerk rejoinder to the Wife of Bath in his Envoy.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Summarizes the principles of &quot;alchemical theory,&quot; exploring Jungian associations and emphasizing Christian interpretations in medieval and early modern commentaries. Focusing on imagery of CYP, suggests that the canon is associated with the Antichrist as well as the devil, and that the complex ambiguities of the &quot;last fifty-four lines&quot; of CYT are Chaucer&#039;s critique of the medieval Church.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Articulates an allegorical approach to medieval literature (also called patristic, exegetical, Augustinian, historical, or iconographical criticism), clarifying its assumptions and methods and applying them to Chaucer&#039;s works and to works that precede or influenced him by Boethius, Jean de Meun, Alain de Lille, Andreas Capellanus, and others. Provides methodological background and source material for allegorical interpretations derived from Scripture, scriptural and classical commentaries, visual arts, medieval literary and aesthetic theories, and &quot;doctrines&quot; of love. Assesses the Christian meanings of most of Chaucer&#039;s works, with the most sustained attention given to TC, KnT, MilT, and WBP.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Treats Friar John&#039;s &quot;digression&quot; on anger in SumT as an &quot;instance of mistaken penitential preaching&quot; that is, satirically, aimed at Huberd the Friar. The awkward, inappropriate length of the address is part of the Sommoner&#039;s riposte to his adversary and, moreover, rebounds on the Summoner himself, especially when seen in light of ParsT and its shared concern with anger and related Senecan source material pertaining to hypocrisy, slander, and flattery.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines WBPT for internal contrasts, attributing them to the Wife&#039;s comic inability to see the implications of her own tale. WBT is a &quot;tale of wonder&quot; or &quot;folktale&quot; in which the rape is merely a plot device and the education of the knight cumulative. Comparisons with English and Irish analogues help to reveal comic inconsistencies, apparent to other pilgrims--e.g., the Clerk--but not to the Wife.]]></dcterms:description>

Advocates an approach that explores &quot;composite&quot; rather than &quot;organic&quot; characterization, drawing analogies with juxtaposition in Gothic art. Comments most extensively on the Canterbury narrator, Miller, Reeve, and Merchant.]]></dcterms:description>
