    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Reconstructs the narrative progress of TC in a sequence of some 200 seven-line poems, approximating rhyme royal, keyed by line numbers to Chaucer&#039;s work, and arranged in five books; running footers link the verse with the plot. Individual poems give voice to the major characters or describe their attitudes, highlighting thematic concerns in Chaucer&#039;s work and interpreting the characters&#039; thoughts and feelings  and the conditions of their love. The Introduction comments on Chaucer&#039;s art and his use of Boccaccio.]]></dcterms:description>

Breeze&#039;s &quot;sexually  frank&quot; poems, &quot;The Wife of Bath Speaks in Brixton  Market,&quot;  and &quot;Slam Poems,&quot; are set in the Caribbean, but share themes of female empowerment similar to those found in WBP and WBT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Comic Medievalism: Laughing at the Middle Ages]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chapter 2, &quot;Scraping the Rust from the Joking Bard: Chaucer in the Age of Wit,&quot; explores the long eighteenth century&#039;s conflicted reception of Chaucerian wit. While Chaucer was perceived as an &quot;originary figure&quot; of the English language as well as an &quot;identifiably  English satirist,&quot; his diction was denigrated for its vulnerability to the uncouth vernacular of its age and to the mutability of the English language itself. Argues that the period&#039;s modernizations of Chaucer were often attempts either to rehabilitate Chaucerian comedy or to posit a comic continuum between the medieval and the Augustan, all the while rescuing the texts&#039; &quot;intrinsic worth&quot; (or &quot;essence,&quot; in a Platonic sense). Contends that the age&#039;s efforts to historicize and modernize Chaucer inevitably pointed up its similarities to and dependence upon the medieval.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Briefly mentions Chaucer in a discussion about the literary influences on Milton. John  Lane--who  continued  Chaucer&#039;s SqT--may have helped to incite Milton&#039;s interest in chivalry and tournaments. Malory is also a likely influence, although never named in Milton&#039;s work, which may be because his name did not carry the cultural  cachet of Chaucer and Spenser, whom  he does name.]]></dcterms:description>
