    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Compares HF and Alexander Pope&#039;s adaptation of it, &quot;Temple of Fame,&quot; focusing on their uses and meanings of the word &quot;fame.&quot; Surveys Chaucer&#039;s uses of &quot;fame&quot; in his corpus, and traces the rise and fall of its meanings in HF, from rumor to renown and back to rumor, with particular attention to the function of sound. In Pope, the word generally lacks negative connotation and the emphasis on sound loses its central importance.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Alexander Pope wrote a youthful imitation of HF Book 3, entitled the Temple of Fame.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explains why both Richard II and Henry IV antedated their grants to Chaucer to October 13 (1398 and 1399, respectively): Richard because it was the feast day of the translation of St. Edward the Confessor, whom he venerated; Henry, because he had appropriated that date for his coronation. Always politic, Chaucer capitalized on the date.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Penitential theology, as derived from St. Augustine and subsequent writers, holds humanity to be sinful yet possessed of reason and hence of responsibility.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In WBT, PardT, and NPT, Chaucer exploits many facets of medieval dream and fable lore, including the ambiguous situation of a dream within a fiction and the Augustinian motif of the liar who tells the truth in order to deceive.  Shakespeare pushes these facets further than Chaucer, especially in &quot;A Midsummer Night&#039;s Dream.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

From PF, KnT, Marriage Group, and SqT Spenser assimilated ideas of continuity, harmony and free choice in love.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Considers FranT rather than CYT Chaucer&#039;s clearest contribution to science fiction, a genre here presented with an ancient legacy. In FranT, Chaucer uses the &quot;tension at the heart of science fiction--between the possible and the not necessarily impossible--to intensify the misdirection of human desires and strivings.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
