Babcock&#039;s oft-cited study of 1914 found apocopated &#039;-e&#039; in five of Chaucer&#039;s poems, from BD through FranT, considerably reduces the number of clear cases of apocope but supports her general conclusion that the rate marks a stylistic difference in Chaucer&#039;s early and late poetry and that of the middle period.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Fulwiler looks at how &quot;Babe&quot; and NPT use the genre of animal fable and prosopopoeia to create moral tales. Sentence and solaas combine in &quot;Babe,&quot; as in Chaucer, to intrigue the audience into deeper exploration of the story. Via structure, setting, characterization, and typology, &quot;Babe&quot; and Chaucer exhibit a world where both humans and animals are capable of Christian goodness.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Engle sees Bakhtin &quot;as pointing the way to an anti-essentialist and anti-foundationist position on literary value, literary genre, and the sociology of reading, which nonetheless is recognizably &#039;humanist&#039; in asserting that literature transmits values and helps preserve consistent, deeply constructed and relatively stable pattern in human experience.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines the appropriateness and limitations of the &quot;anthropological&quot; approach in Chaucer criticism, specifically the &quot;carnivalesque&quot;--implicit in monastic satire, popular culture and folklore, goliardic parody, and the social dynamics of Chaucer&#039;s London.  An understanding of &quot;Bakhtin&#039;s notions of language and cultural exchange&quot; (&quot;polyglossia,&quot; theatricality, mixtures of styles, framing devices, and irony) &quot;is necessary to supplement the appealing metaphor of carnival.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Defines TC as a novel because it partakes heavily of the linguistic qualities that Bakhtin associates with novelization, including contemporaneity, fusion of genres, and open-endedness.  Most important, TC is dialogic in its adaptations of Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Filostrato,&quot; courtly conventions, Boethian thought, and Christian outlook.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Reading ClT in its social and historical context is reason for employing Bakhtin&#039;s theoretical framework, since Bakhtin recognizes the complexity and riches of poetic discourse as connected to the diversity and complexity of socio-ideological discourse.  A Bakhtinian approach to ClT shows how Chaucer&#039;s incorporated such issues as &quot;sovereignty, the status of women, the uses of rhetoric, and the emergent new &#039;commune voice&#039;.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In Chaucer&#039;s RvT and Malory&#039;s &quot;Morte D&#039;Arthur,&quot; illegitimacy is not a negative notion.  The Reeve is unorthodox in his negative view of the illegitimacy of Symkyn&#039;s wife and of the sexual liberation of Symkyn&#039;s daughter.  Chaucer however, discloses a less critical view, enabling his readers to consider bastardy and sexual play in a positive light.]]></dcterms:description>
