    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Chivalric Romance and the Essence of Fiction.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Uses selected Arthuriana to describe the development of chivalric romance and offer a descriptive definition of the genre. Emphasizes the non-centered, unstable nature of the romance, although contrasting it with postmodernist works. Notes Chrétien de Troyes as a break-point in Arthuriana and chivalric romance generally. Includes analysis of CT romances, and argues that chivalric romance is the purest fiction in its non-attachment to the real and multiple layerings, both in the narrative and in its symbolic overtures.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[From Literacy to Literature: England, 1300–1400.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines the textbook practices of the medieval primary schools--the &quot;grammar schools&quot; or &quot;grammatica&quot;--as underlying the transition from Latin to English as the primary language of &quot;literary&quot; composition in England during the fourteenth century. Identifies Gower, Langland, and Chaucer as describing rather than reacting to the shift to English vernacular &quot;literary&quot; work. Explicates diversity in instructional practices during the period and argues that the classroom interplay in poetry between English and Latin led to acceptance of English as a &quot;literary&quot; language, noting the prevalence of Latin textbook passages rendered in English verse as supporting evidence. ]]></dcterms:description>
