    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer and Pronominatio]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Holton argues that Chaucer generally prefers direct naming techniques, but he recurrently uses &quot;pronominatio&quot; (i.e., epithets and related circumlocutions) when relying on Virgil as a source in HF and LGW. Also shows how Chaucer exploits the negative possibilities of &quot;pronominatio&quot; in TC and PrT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[We remain uncertain about the meaning of Cecily Chaumpaigne&#039;s release of Chaucer from a charge of rape, but the topic of rape (and forced marriage) in Chaucer&#039;s poetry reflects his sensitivity to the complex &quot;definitional problems&quot; of raptus. Chaucer explores the fine line between consent and &quot;nonconsent&quot; in Troilus and Criseyde, The Second Nun&#039;s Tale, and elsewhere, and his exploration reflects Boethian concerns with volition.]]></dcterms:description>

Considers the Pardoner as an embodiment of rhetoric and its potential for abuse; the Wife of Bath as rhetorical excess and rhetorical competence; TC as an exploration of narrative in relation to history; Mel as an application of rhetorical appropriateness (kairos); and NPT as an &quot;essay in the theory of form&quot; and a &quot;rhetoric laboratory.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

A rigorous Augustinian view of good marriage is put forward in ParsT, moderated in MerT, and relaxed and modernized in WBP.]]></dcterms:description>
