    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s Dream Visions : Courtliness and Individual Identity]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines the philosophical content of Chaucer&#039;s dream visions--the interplay between the soul and its courtly context--arguing that in Chaucer&#039;s world, the ideal of courtesy rather than any explicitly spiritual principle holds together a fictive community. BD highlights the moral dilemmas of fin amor viewed from a spiritual perspective. The avian parliament in PF offers a political ideal as an enfranchised and socially beneficial courtly desire. In HF, &quot;commune profit&quot; replaces &quot;singuler profit&quot; through the protocols of courtliness. LGW presents two aspects of courtliness: a collective body of traditions and the promotion of counsel and reason, stimulating thought about fin amor.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s reference to &quot;ferses twelve&quot; in BD remains a tantalizing problem. He may have been thinking of a non-standard version of chess, such as the Courier game, which includes twelve pawns; or the narrator may be thinking of draughts. In any case, exact definition of the game is less important that the fact that it expresses &quot;man&#039;s relationship to eternity.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Chaucer Frühe Dichtung.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines how Chaucer&#039;s early poems (i.e., those written before 1380) engage the conventional forms, techniques, and themes of French and Italian models, enriching them via &quot;humour and realism&quot; and applying them to &quot;new uses.&quot; His innovative &quot;juxtapositions and sequences&quot; reflect both his &quot;poetic temperament&quot; and a &quot;transitional period&quot; in literary history. In BD he makes the &quot;style and form of French poetry come alive within his English idiom,&quot; combining dream vision, elegy, and dramatic conversation in a &quot;novel&quot; combination of &quot;heterogeneous elements.&quot; The &quot;humour and irony&quot; of HF results from his experiments with an unexpected narrative persona, stylistic variety, wry uses of source material, and startling juxtapositions and reversals, remaking the traditional &quot;allegorical journey,&quot; PF is a &quot;conscious work of art&quot; that explores aspects of the allegorical mode (personification, allegoresis, beast fable, etc.) and submits its themes and techniques to genial satire. In various ways, ABC, Pity, Lady, Mars, and Anel also illustrate Chaucer&#039;s attraction--and resistance--to poetic traditions. Adapted and expanded from the author&#039;s 1938 &quot;Der Junge Chaucer,&quot; and published simultaneously in German and English.]]></dcterms:description>
