    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Using scientific chaos theory to clarify the changeable complexity of CT, Thundy argues that disunity is a fundamental feature of the work. Also argues that the Persian poem Manteq-at-Tair (&quot;Language&quot; or &quot;Parliament&quot; of the Birds), by Farid-ad-Din Attar, inspired aspects of PF and CT, encouraging Chaucer to adapt CT in different ways for different occasions.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Speed gives a careful reading of FranT based on the Franklin&#039;s statement of contradictory intentions in his prologue:  to tell a Breton lay and to render his tale plain and simple because he has never studied rhetoric.  Presenting a romantic fairy tale as an intellectual exercise is a seemingly impossible literary task.  ]]></dcterms:description>
