    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer and the Art of Storytelling]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Koff argues that &quot;Chaucerian irony does not lead to Chaucer&#039;s own meaning.  Instead, Chaucer&#039;s deflecting self-characterizations and the characterization of the storyteller who &#039;cannot tell stories&#039; enable Chaucer to relinquish omniscience, thereby empowering all readers to recreate, as a mirror of themselves, the body social that reading any text creates.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Indeed, Koff suggests that Chaucer is best seen within a tradition of storytelling and textual interpretation (exemplified by the parables of Jesus and twelfth-century Victorine exegesis) that puts readers on the testing end of truth in fiction designed NOT as a code for something else.]]></dcterms:description>
