    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer and the Making of English Poetry]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Describes Chaucer&#039;s contributions to English literary tradition: a &quot;new kind of organization&quot; of large narrative, an &quot;urbane&quot; style that assumes a shared set of values with its audience, and a &quot;new attitude&quot; toward the &quot;usefulness and dignity&quot; of poetry, all influencing later poetry. Though deriving much from classical and Continental predecessors, Chaucer was also influenced by native English romance, particularly its &quot;narrative &#039;koinê&#039;&quot; and &quot;conversational dialogue.&quot; The fusion of Boethian and Stoic philosophy with courtly conventions characterizes PF, while &quot;technical virtuosity&quot; is found in HF. TC is an &quot;expansion&quot; of PF, rendered more subtle through the narrator&#039;s interventions and sophisticated characterization. Treats KnT as one of Chaucer&#039;s great accomplishments and considers a variety of styles and themes in CT: the &quot;rough justice&quot; of fabliau comedy, sincere religious devotion, structural complexity, etc. Includes recurrent attention to source material, with extended commentary on ClT, FranT, MLT, NPT, PardT, PhyT, PrT, and SNPT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Brown traces classical and medieval study of optics in various kinds of writing, arguing that in the late Middle Ages the science of &quot;perspectiva&quot; became part of intellectual consciousness, influencing Chaucer and several of his models (Jean de Meun, Dante, and Boccaccio). Chaucer draws on his knowledge of &quot;perspectiva&quot; to varying degrees, superficially using the discourse of optics in SqT and drawing on discussions of defective vision in RvT and MerT.
