    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Antithesis is the major source of PF&#039;s aesthetic unity.  It arranges the poem&#039;s structural levels in a pattern of oppositions:  antithetical word pairs are joined by antithetical arrangements of style, description, characterization, plot, narrative, presentation, tone, and theme.  PF&#039;s structure is not organic but governed by a design which requires the poem&#039;s antithetical meanings and themes.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that the &quot;study of the apocalyptic in the English literature of the late fourteenth cannot boil down simply to the tracing of sources or to historicist (New and otherwise) readings of contemporary texts and artifacts,&quot; and pursues, instead, &quot;the ways in which apocalyptic comes to be known&quot; by assessing several related &quot;fields of meaning&quot;: death, ecclesiastical authority, and confessional practice. Uses these as chapter-subjects, and surveys how their contingencies--and the unattainable &quot;pretensions&quot; of writing itself--help us to understand &quot;the apocalyptic&quot; in works such as CT (especially PardPT, ParsPT, and Ret), Gower&#039;s &quot;Confessio Amantis,&quot; &quot;Pearl,&quot; &quot;Cleannesse,&quot; and a number of others.]]></dcterms:description>

Numerous authors Chaucer may have read, including Bartholomaeus Anglicus, provide grounds for the conclusion that the oracle of Apollo was expressed through a laurel tree.]]></dcterms:description>
