    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer: Complaint and Narrative]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Complaints--courtly, religious, philosophical, moral--were an integral part of Chaucer&#039;s poetry, and different combinations of lyric and narrative led to experiments in literary structures.  Davenport contends that Chaucer adapts the complaint innovatively to various purposes and that his complaints are not artificial rhetorical exercises.]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Instead, complaint was a &quot;seminal idea,&quot; a &quot;growth point&quot; that reveals his ideas of &quot;feeling and form in poetry&quot;--in the dual forms (narrative and complaint):  Anel, Mars, and SqT; in simple complaints:  Lady, ABC, Wom, Nob, Truth, Sted, Purse, Ros, and Form Age; and in compound complaints (involving a semidrama): Ven, Pity, and For. ]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Davenport also examines the function of complaint in TC, HF, LGW, PF, BD, Bo, and CT, especially in KnT, CYT, ClT, FranT, Mel, MerT, PardT, and WBT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that in the GP Chaucer offers an &quot;analysis of social rank in terms of economic behavior,&quot; consistently evident in the descriptions where a &quot;pilgrim&#039;s characteristic behavior is defined in every case in terms of the acquisition and use of wealth&quot; and the order of the descriptions is &quot;a clear, socio-economic ranking based upon an analysis of the origins of income.&quot; Furthermore, the characters of the pilgrims are revealed ironically, not by &quot;depiction of personality,&quot; but by &quot;unmasking of self--the very inner self&quot;--of individual pilgrims.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer: Poet of Mirth and Morality.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Describes how Chaucer&#039;s &quot;mirth reveals his moral premises&quot; and conveys joy throughout his poetic corpus, explaining how the early dream poems, in varying degrees, communicate the progress of the comic narrators toward greater moral and philosophic realizations about kinds of love. At times reflecting PF, TC combines Boethius&#039;s &quot;divinely comic philosophy&quot; with Chaucer&#039;s awareness of human exuberance and excess to disclose the tragedy of fortune and human blindness. Generally, CT reveals the order and Providential justice implicit in human diversity and limitation. Part 1 lays out &quot;modes&quot; of comedy, complemented by the mirth of the religious tales and the dramatic interplay of the Marriage Group. Comedy &quot;unmasks&quot; vice in FrT, SumT, and PardPT, while Th, Mel, MkT, and NPT are more oblique in their expressions of moral philosophy. CYPT and ManPT diminish &quot;comic joy and zest&quot; but ParsT and Ret replace them with penitential forgiveness.]]></dcterms:description>

In varying ways and degrees, the transgressors in these works undergo transformation through penitential processes, exemplifying Chaucer&#039;s way of deepening the psychology of love.]]></dcterms:description>
