    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer: The Earlier Poetry: A Study in Poetic Development]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Traversi discusses the English language and medieval poetics--Chaucer&#039;s givens--and proceeds to trace Chaucer&#039;s development as a poet through BD, HF, PF, and TC.  Because the language was an imperfect instrument, Chaucer&#039;s early poems are tentative. ]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The dream vision, used to explore the relationship between &quot;authority&quot; and &quot;experience,&quot; was inadequate for the rich &quot;unpredictability of real human living.&quot;  Traversi judges TC as the &quot;first unquestioned masterpiece of &#039;modern&#039; literature.&quot;  Unlike Dante, Chaucer was impatient with the concept of finality; his genius culminating in CT, was dubious of final statements.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Discursive, analytic commentaries on KnT and ClT, treating source relations, styles, themes, rhetorical patternings, and aesthetic success in Chaucer&#039;s &quot;full realisation of the human predicament&quot; in both tales. The discussion of KnT emphasizes the combination of chivalric romance and philosophy, the involvement of the stars/gods, and Theseus&#039;s final speech; it includes comparisons with TC. Treats ClT as a &quot;religious fable&quot; in its diction, style, and allusions, and explores tensions among allegory, realism, and psychology--nearly &quot;irreconcilable,&quot; even though resolved by the Clerk rejoinder to the Wife of Bath in his Envoy.]]></dcterms:description>
