    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Quest for Love.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Offers a psychotherapeutic approach to literature, including discussion of Chaucer&#039;s &quot;Marriage Group&quot; (pp. 91-120). Praises WBP for its feminine acceptance of the realities of love and the simultaneous pursuit of the desire to transcend them. The durability of love in FranT is sustained by generosity: while Dorigen &quot;sees reality as a threat&quot; to love, Aurelius accepts the &quot;adult reality&quot; of married love and releases her. MerT expresses the unreality of January&#039;s &quot;infantile egocentrality&quot; and through &quot;gruesome comedy&quot; asserts the &quot;vital morality&quot; of May and Damian&#039;s real sexuality. Together, the works epitomize Chaucer&#039;s &quot;great art,&quot; &quot;great social force,&quot; and &quot;great inward spiritual force for civilization.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
