    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Considers four frame-tale versions of the Philomela story--Margaret Atwood&#039;s &quot;Nightingale&quot; in &quot;The Tent&quot; (2006), George Pettie&#039;s in &quot;A Petite Pallace of Pettie His Pleasure&quot; (1576), Chaucer&#039;s in LGW, and Gower&#039;s in &quot;Confessio Amantis&quot;--focusing on interactions among narrative point of view, frame structure, and metapoetics.
