    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer shares literary conventions with the writers of his age.  Both he and Gower use framed stories, Chaucer exploiting to the fullest both frame and story.  Langland and Chaucer share the use of symbols, but Chaucer&#039;s are more expansive.  Chaucer and the &quot;Pearl&quot;-Poet share word play.  Chaucer also uses the conventions of romance, lyric, sermon,and proverb.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The importance of music for medieval verse, whether Chaucer&#039;s or that of the French poets, is confirmed by Dante&#039;s comments on versification in &quot;De vulgari eloquentia.&quot;  Chaucer&#039;s short lyrics are virtually all ballades, ballade-like poems or rondeaux. His later poems especially TC and PF, also use stanzaic units of the &quot;formes fixes&quot; ballades.]]></dcterms:description>
