    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Oka compares various classical and medieval descriptions of Troilus and then offers &quot;The Book of Troilus&quot; or simply &quot;Troilus&quot; as a more appropriate title for Chaucer&#039;s TC. Also traces the personal development of Troilus from a &quot;fierse and proude knyght&quot; to a person &quot;maturing&quot; through &quot;his love experience,&quot; thus suggesting a vertical structure in the narrative, supported by Troilus&#039;s ascent to heaven.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A pattern of Chaucerian poetics emerges through four themes--courtly love, morality, order, and poetry--found in his early poetry (BD, HF, and KnT).  Starting as a poet of courtly love, Chaucer overcame limitations of this theme by analyzing its philosophical, moral, and artistic implications; assessing ethical values; searching for a principle of order; and determining the function of poetry.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Reads HF as Chaucer&#039;s &quot;vindication of poetry,&quot; even though he comically proposes to eschew it. Identifies the various echoes of classical and medieval sources in HF, particularly Virgil&#039;s &quot;Aeneid,&quot; Ovid&#039;s &quot;Metamorphoses,&quot; Alain de Lille&#039;s &quot;Anticlaudianus,&quot; and Dante&#039;s &quot;Divine Comedy,&quot; arguing that Chaucer manipulates them self-consciously as part of assertion of the value of poetry, depicted ironically in the structure and activities of Fame&#039;s palace. Treats the Dreamer&#039;s quest as a search for a new kind of poetry, reflected in the hurly-burly of the house of Rumor, as, perhaps, Chaucer&#039;s declaration of a new subject matter.]]></dcterms:description>

Contains units on &quot;Books and Bodies&quot; and &quot;The Intertextual Duchess,&quot; focusing, respectively, on the poem&#039;s &quot;textual construction and internal dynamics&quot; and on its literary relationships as seen through a comparatist lens.
