    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that medieval English literature in general, and Chaucer&#039;s poetry in particular, is primarily a product of a cross-cultural and multilingual experience. Compares multilingualism in Chinese with aspects of medieval English culture, and questions reception of Chaucer&#039;s &quot;English&quot; for non-English medieval speakers.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Virtually all aspects of Chaucer&#039;s English need further work. Some of these are the poet&#039;s idiolect, word-formation, syntax and its adjustment to oral presentation, learned and &quot;lewed&quot; words, social dialect, and polysemy and synonymy.

Learning and &quot;doctrine&quot; arise from this activity, and so the aesthetic and instructive values of poetry are inseparable.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Deconstructs BD as an example of a work that resists the Renaissance impulses to individualism and the rise of narrative.  In BD, lyricism is asserted by the failure of narrative to console, and individualism is undercut by recurrent verbal play on oneness and evenness--e.g., Alcyone as &quot;all-is-one,&quot; Octovyen as &quot;octo-even,&quot; and the narrator&#039;s &quot;evening&quot; sickness.
