    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer and the Written Language]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer was evidently educated in the &quot;ars dictaminis&quot; (art of letter writing), which emphasized voice and point of view and may have influenced CT.  While individual tales may have been written to be recited, CT as a collection was designed to be read, thus affecting tone and literary reference.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Surveys commentary on Chaucer in Victorian critical journals, deriving three aspects of the Victorian view of Chaucer:  he was a Child-Poet whose simplicity anticipated that of the nineteenth-century lower classes; he was the poet of the &quot;green fields of merry England&quot;; and he was a Poet-Businessman, the quintessential Victorian gentleman.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In CT (especially WBT, PardT, CYT, PhyT, SNT, and MLT), Chaucer shares with Wyclif the belief that the Church had lost its miraculous power and its focus on salvation, and he stresses the importance of the individual&#039;s role in personal salvation. For both men, the schism is less an institutional divide than a division between &quot;self-sacrificing spirituality and self-serving materialism, between miracle and fraud.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Gower&#039;s &quot;Confessio Amantis&quot; presents Genius&#039;s tales as morally simple, although the incest stories stimulate readers to ask moral questions.  In MLT, Chaucer represents his narrator as misreading Gower, affecting a simplistically moral stance and vehemently disavowing impropriety; the poet thereby shows the potential failure of Gower&#039;s techniques to elicit a moral response.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Fumo compares and contrasts Chaucer&#039;s invocation of Apollo in HF to its source in Dante&#039;s &quot;Paradiso,&quot; arguing that Chaucer shares with Dante a &quot;fundamental interest in defining the poet&#039;s role&quot; as a &quot;vessel of prophetic truth.&quot; Both poets are concerned with the potential disconnect between the &quot;transcendent experience of inspiration&quot; and the &quot;reality of failure.&quot; Christian truth serves to bridge that disconnect for Dante, whereas Chaucer is &quot;more interested in the problem than the solution&quot; and thereby more faithful to classical tradition.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[TC and KnT are darker versions of Boccaccio, more attentive than Boccaccio to suffering.
