    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s Contemporary Guillaume de Machaut: A Critical Study of Four &#039;Dits amoureux&#039;]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Through study of Machaut&#039;s &#039;dits&#039;, we begin to get a sense of what Chaucer saw in Machaut&#039;s work.  In addition to appreciation of his style, Chaucer must have recognized in Machaut&#039;s constant theme--human love, rightly and wrongly ordered--a sense of intellectual kinship.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Traces Chaucer&#039;s increasingly creative use of sources and development as a poet:  his treatment of French materials in Rom, BD, and HF; his use of Dante in BD and HF; his adaptation of Boccaccio in Anel, PF, and TC; and his own developing, distinctively &quot;English&quot; voice in PF, HF, and TC. In TC, Chaucer &quot;align(s) himself with the greatest European poets&quot; but also &quot;speak(s) like an English romancer.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer defines the &quot;up-so-doun&quot; world using three devices:  dramatized &quot;impossibilia&quot; (the rhetorical expression of a passionate conviction believed to be an impossibility), role reversal (involving a triumph of the weaker over the stronger), and explicit statements (suggesting man&#039;s perverse judgments and actions).  Parody provides the structural similarity of the three devices.]]></dcterms:description>

Emphasizing medieval name lore (onomastics), the author argues that by an allegorical interpretation of his own name Chaucer revised his life and work.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores the recursive demands of grammatical emendation (&quot;emendatio&quot;) and penitential reform--the accumulative and ongoing need for correction of error that creates or prompts more need for correction--as the aesthetic that underlies Mel, and CT more generally. Inspired by such models as grammatical exercises and Aristotelian prologues, Prudence&#039;s correction of Melibee is not successful, fulfilling, or complete, but it indicates the value of revision, revisiting, and adjustment of genres and ideas in the Canterbury fiction.]]></dcterms:description>
