    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Authority and Character in Middle English Literature]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[&quot;This study argues that, in major Middle English works, authority is the central issue involved in concepts of character and of relationships beween characters. &#039;Havelok the Dane,&#039; &#039;King Horn,&#039; &#039;Sir Orfeo,&#039; Malory&#039;s works, and &#039;The Canterbury Tales&#039; examine the question of what gives one man power over another and this question is the central concern of these works . . . .  Chaucer examines authority . . . on three levels, mainly: the relation between author and reader, between characters on the pilgrimage,  and between characters within the tales. And at each of these levels authority is an ambivalent matter.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Although critics have generally seen Mel as a simple allegory in fairly close translation, the Tale departs from Renaud in significant ways to question the nature of authority (good advice can be wrong; authorities can disagree; motivations can subvert).  Mel is integral to CT, not anomalous.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Considers the three-part structure of HF, the poem&#039;s references to Virgil&#039;s &quot;Aeneid,&quot; and its allusions to Dante&#039;s &quot;Divine Comedy&quot; and to Ezekiel, arguing that, thematically, it abandons history as a source of truth, considers the potential of poetry, and concludes in a &quot;kind of eschaton.&quot; i.e., in the biblically-inspired hope of &quot;deferred understanding,&quot; despite human limitations.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses the presentation of HF in Speght&#039;s edition as an example of &quot;Renaissance uneasiness&quot; with the poem.  Explains this uneasiness by contrasting HF with Sidney&#039;s &quot;Apologie for Poetrie&quot; (and Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Genealogie deorum gentilium libri&quot;), arguing that Chaucer&#039;s rhetoric-based and &quot;paradox-oriented&quot; poetics differ from Sidney&#039;s more confident and philosophical theory of poetry.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Authority, Authenticity, and the Repression of Heloise]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Because Heloise is canonized in Jankyn&#039;s &quot;Book of Wikked Wyves&quot; between Jerome and Ovid, her authentic voice is overwhelmed by their reinforcing discourses; the Wife of Bath is similarly contained between Chaucer and Jankyn.  Chaucer and Jean de Meun point to a neglected Heloise fully immersed in learning, an &quot;auctor&quot; whose authority could be cited in complex and ambiguous ways.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Destabilizes the notion of a progression of &quot;identifiable movements&quot; in English vernacular writing culminating in Chaucer in the fourteenth century, arguing that &quot;The Owl and the Nightingale&quot; (c. 1200) should be taught as an early foundational vernacular text. The poem employs &quot;outrageous satire&quot; through the vernacular to critique and reconfigure the form of Latin debate poetry.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[HF advocates an &quot;ethics of reading&quot; as the narrator struggles to accommodate contradictions found in literary texts. Book 1 ponders the legend and textual transmission of the Dido and Aeneas story. Book 2 learns about the suspect nature of language in its ability to relay &quot;truth.&quot; Book 3 realizes the role of Fortune in canonizing literary texts and their subject matter. Because HF privileges reading over writing, subjective judgment prevails over auctoritas.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Interprets Geffrey&#039;s encounters with the story of Troy in HF as analogous to Chaucer&#039;s own struggle with poetic authority, contrasting the account with that of Guido delle Colonne in his &quot;Historia Destructionis Troiae,&quot; and linking it with Chaucer&#039;s TC. Chaucer&#039;s &quot;hybridizing&quot; of Virgilian and Ovidian narratives in HF (in both Gefffrey&#039;s dream and Fame&#039;s house) reflects the combinings intrinsic to all myth-making, underlying narratives of selfhood and nationhood.]]></dcterms:description>
