    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[&quot;Balade de bon Conseyl,&quot; or Truth, the most popular of Chaucer&#039;s short poems, is generally thought to be derived from the Bible and Boethius&#039;s &quot;Consolation of Philosophy.&quot;  Out of the twenty-four copies, only in one version does the envoy to &quot;Vache&quot; appear.  The poem is clearly a formal ballad and does not contain all the characteristics of an epistolary curial satire.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[CT responds to Dante&#039;s Commedia in a &quot;conscious attempt &quot; to continue its &quot;poetic tradition&quot; of pilgrimage narrative.  Chaucer&#039;s pilgrims &quot;comment or focus on one or more aspects of the Dantean pilgrimage,&quot; and both works define the human image and likeness to God by exploring the relations between literal and allegorical representation.  NPT, like the Geryon episode in the Inferno, erases animal/human distinctions to understand the human.  ]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[  KnT and MilT provide the context for a deconstructionist reading of drama in CT and the Commedia, seeing them against epic and theatrical traditions.  MkT, FrT, and SumT recall aspects of the style and themes of the Inferno.  In Petrarchan fashion, ClT (except for the Envoy) opposes Dante&#039;s approach to allegory, and MerT echoes the gardens of Song of Songs and the Paradiso; in these narratives, marriage is a topos of interpretation, a means to avoid the death of literal reading.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Invoking a medieval association of book and body, Prendergast examines the cultural history of Chaucer&#039;s remains. The study assesses fifteenth-century attempts to mourn Chaucer&#039;s death, traces early modern ambivalence toward the poet&#039;s body-as-relic, and discusses the restored tomb as a symbol of nineteenth-century British nationalism. Prendergast argues that this restoration project and certain editing practices share a totalizing impulse. Modernists opposed a disembodied Chaucer to a continued popular interest in the body as signifier of genius. An appendix presents Laurence Tanner&#039;s previously unpublished &quot;Chaucer&#039;s Tomb and Nicholas Brigham.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Rooted in Thomad Hoccleve&#039;s attention to &quot;communal responsibility for Chaucer&#039;s soul,&quot; and deepened by John Lydgate, the &quot;&#039;pray for Chaucer&#039; tradition&quot; was modified by William Caxton, reworked as an exclusionary &quot;cult of Father Chaucer.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
