    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Focusing on failures of the male body depicted in the consummation scene of TC  and in the autobiographical episode of the C-text, Calabrese compares Troilus of TC and Will of &quot;Piers Plowman&quot; as masculine questors in search of truth.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Being Alone in Chaucer]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Although the concept of solitude is considered a Renaissance phenomenon, it occurs often in Chaucer&#039;s works as &quot;alone&quot; or &quot;privity&quot; and in the concept of private space, such as Nicholas&#039;s room in MilT.  The &quot;struggle for personal space&quot; was an ongoing issue in the complex fourteenth century.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Clarifies that Boethius was a model for &quot;medieval authors with political ambitions--and missteps--of their own.&quot; Imprisoned and accused of treason, Usk aligned himself in his &quot;Testament&quot; with Boethius, although his depiction of his own &quot;seditious activities&quot; is mediated by Chaucer&#039;s TC, particularly Criseyde&#039;s betrayal and self-accusation. Although Chaucer ignores Boethius&#039;s political situation in Bo, he moves &quot;treason deep into the heart&quot; of TC.]]></dcterms:description>

But Chaucer&#039;s intertextual construction of these dreams and his reconstruction of Cassandra and Criseyde from his sources indicate Chaucer&#039;s concern for a female audience.]]></dcterms:description>

Despite this moment of autonomy, Emelye loses agency in the text once her body functions as the site for fulfillment of male desire.]]></dcterms:description>
