    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Challenges psychoanalytic approaches to ClT and rejects the approaches that read the poem either as a Christian parable of authoritarianism or a rejection of authority as a &quot;disease of monarchy.&quot; Argues that Chaucer creates the Tale as an expression of the &quot;conscious unlogic&quot; of the Clerk, a &quot;master rhetorician and disputant,&quot; who wittily engages the Wife of Bath and satisfies the expectations of his audience. Chaucer, typically, offers an &quot;aesthetic resolution of the fundamentally irreconcilable conflicts of the sexual life.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

The Introduction (pp. 1-34) comments on the GP description of the Merchant, the relations between MerT and ClT and between MerT and FranT, courtly love, garden imagery, source material, the character of January, and Chaucer&#039;s &quot;handling&quot; of English idioms, proverbs, ironies, and other stylistic features, concluding that the Tale is &quot;one of Chaucer&#039;s masterpieces.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that Ovid inspired the structure, narrative complexities, and thematic focus of CT--its tales-within-a-tale structure, its multiple narrators characterized by their tales, and its concern with two kinds of love, higher and lower--and shows that a large number of specific echoes of &quot;Amores,&quot; &quot;Ars Amatoria,&quot; &quot;Fasti,&quot; &quot;Heroides,&quot; and, especially &quot;Metamorphoses&quot; are manifest in GP, KnT, MilT, MLPT, WBPT, SumT, MerT, SqT, FranT, PhyT, Mel, MkT (Hercules), and ManT, demonstrating these specific influences by providing parallel passages from Chaucer&#039;s texts, Ovid&#039;s texts, and medieval analogues and commentaries.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores the epic elements of KnT and its sources, arguing that in placing love at the thematic center of his poem (replacing traditional political concerns), Chaucer was &quot;attempting to make something entirely new&quot; out of his material. By emphasizing the importance and parallels of love and lordship, Chaucer draws attention to &quot;the private as well as public qualities of the noble hero&quot; and the need for internal as well as external order.]]></dcterms:description>
