    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[As knight, sheriff, and &quot;contour&quot; (I.359), the Franklin is the quintessential late medieval county &quot;bureaucrat,&quot; whose duties provided incentives both to disclose and to hide the financial information to which he was privy. From its &quot;dramatic irony&quot; to its frequent use of the &quot;highly equivocal&quot; adjective &quot;certein,&quot; FranT dramatizes an administrator&#039;s skill--perhaps Chaucer&#039;s own--with finding a strategic balance between textual transparency and ambiguity.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Discusses Chaucer&#039;s use of the concepts &quot;kynde&quot; and &quot;nature.&quot;  Although Chaucer uses the two interchangeably at times, &quot;kynde&quot; represents absolute moral standards, indicating power and reason.  The &quot;lex naturalis&quot; of antiquity also includes these concepts, and these meanings are evident in PF and BD.  In TC, Chaucer measures the character of Troilus according to &quot;lawe of kynde.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer and Rojas shared common sources and concerns, and their works are most alike in their use of sophisticated dialogue, but Rojas&#039; vision is more destructive.  Troilus and Calistro are both &quot;courtly&quot; lovers, but Calistro is a debased version of Chaucer&#039;s hero.  Whereas the ambiguities in Criseyde&#039;s character create a &quot;chiaroscuro,&quot; in Melibea&#039;s they become antitheses; and while Chaucer forgives Criseyde&#039;s infidelity, Rojas allows us to suspect the worst of Melibea.]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The go-between in each succumbs to the fate he or she arranges, but unlike Pandarus, who incarnates a valid pragmatism, Celestina demonstrates the very negation of meaning.  The authorial voices, Parmeno and Plebario, pay more dearly for the lovers&#039; passion than their counterpart in TC, who merely feels a &quot;double sorwe.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
