    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines LGW within the sociocultural and intellectual contexts of the late fourteenth century, paying especial attention to early humanist  and late courtly traditions.  LGWP may be  juxtaposed  with Richard de Bury&#039;s &quot;Philobiblon&quot;; and the legends themselves with Boccaccio&#039;s  &quot;Amorosa visione&quot; and &quot;De mulieribus claris,&quot;  Christine de  Pizan&#039;s &quot;Cité des dames,&quot; Machaut&#039;s &quot;Jugement dou roi de Navarre,&quot; and  Gower&#039;s &quot;Confessio  Amantis.&quot; Aristotle&#039;s &quot;Ethics&quot; complicates LGW by imposing the notion of &quot;the mean&quot; upon the tales&#039; excesses. Reads LGW as a mid-point on a continuum with TC and CT as the end-points, viewing LGW as a stylistic and thematic &quot;palinode&quot; vis-á-vis TC. Also, CT could be similarly construed in relation to LGW--for  instance, in the comedic redactions of ClT and FranT.]]></dcterms:description>

Though Gavin Douglas objects to Chaucer&#039;s &quot;Legend of Dido&quot; in his translation of the &quot;Aeneid&quot; (providing a humanistic model of reading Virgil to counter Chaucer&#039;s), Marlowe was ultimately &quot;drawn closer to the hermeneutic intermingling of the Chaucerian model&quot; in his play &quot;Dido Queene of Carthage.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Unlike the depiction of money in Book V of the &quot;Confessio,&quot; alchemy is depicted as a productive good in Book IV. In CYT, Chaucer excoriates alchemy as a false and deceptive science because he understood  it to be the opposite of a proper economy--the &quot;social technology&quot; of money.]]></dcterms:description>
