    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores the &quot;ideological work&quot; of children in Chaucer&#039;s literature, commenting on Sophie in Mel, Virginia in PhyT, Maurice in MLT, and Lewis in Astr. Treats the latter as a metonym for vernacular readers and for the potential of technological learning (also found in the brass steed of SqT) through which Chaucer projects an image of &quot;Englishness&quot; that &quot;coalesces around paternal love and technological learning&quot; and depends in part upon the sufficiency of Oxford to emulate or replace Rome in a national imaginary.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that both the structure and the content of ManT explore the relativity of truth and lie. Regarding the structure, the dependence on literature of practical wisdom raises a doubt as to the tale&#039;s authority as an exemplum. As for the content, ManT is &quot;no longer about the delayed discovery of truth as in &#039;Othello&#039;,&quot; and instead focuses on Phoebus&#039;s &quot;confused state of mind,&quot; in which &quot;truth is whatever he wishes to believe.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
