    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer and &#039;Pite&#039;]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[&quot;Pite&quot; and its synonym &quot;routhe&quot; occur almost always in their original erotic context in Chaucer&#039;s earlier works: Pity, TC, PF, and FranT.  It may be equated with &quot;generous self-sacrifice&quot; on the part of the lover.  As Chaucer broadens the concept, there emerge comic and serious uses, as in the MilT and the KnT, but &quot;pite&quot; retains its connections with love, which remains fundamental to its understanding.]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[It becomes a quality of mind desirable in the ideal knight and Christian.  Chaucer the poet exhibits &quot;pite&quot; himself and the concept is at the core of such &quot;pitous&quot; tales as that of Griselda, where the conventions and assumptions associated  with it are difficult for the modern reader to accept.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Although Pandarus did not appear in literature until Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Il Filostrato,&quot; 1336, by 1440 his name had degenerated into a common noun in English.  This rapid development argues against the dualism and complexity modern critics find in him.  The complicated Pandarus first appears in a poem by William(?) Stewart written in 1568 to parallel Henryson&#039;s &quot;Testament.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Evaluates LGW as a series of brief narrative poems, assessing LGWP as an account of Chaucer&#039;s experiment with choosing a new subject matter for poetry (one that is &quot;essentially alien to the code of courtly love&quot;) and gauging the importance of the larger poem in Chaucer&#039;s artistic development. Comments upon the aesthetic success of each legend, focusing on narrative techniques, stylistic highlights, and adaptations of source materials (especially Ovid); also gauges the quality of the integration of theme and technique, favoring brevity, unity, feeling or sentiment rather than moralism, and dramatic impact over embellishment. Concludes with an excursus that dismantles the traditional notion that Chaucer abandoned LGW out of boredom or weariness.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Comparative analysis shows that several changes and emphases Chaucer introduces into Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Filostrato&quot; produce richer characterization in TC. All three major characters &quot;think as well as feel&quot; in Chaucer&#039;s poem: Troilus with his fatalism; Criseyde, &quot;her pathetic search&quot; for true felicity; and Pandarus, his awareness of how &quot;slender is the tight-rope he is treading.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
