    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Squire&#039;s digressive, complex tale may be understood as a reenactment of the creative process. Critics may be mistaken in trying to explain the significance of the four gifts, the falcon&#039;s distress, and other details, if the center of the tale is the extravagance of invention itself.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines pity and the construction of pity in KnT in particular to show how Chaucer&#039;s use of and changes to the &quot;Teseida &quot;produce a desire for female autonomy that doesn&#039;t threaten male patriarchy.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Maintains that the details and description of astrology in MilT along with its foreshadowing imagery establish a theme of Boethian determinism in the Tale. Accordingly, the character of each of the three male actors determines his unforeseen fate and punishment. Similarly, Alison&#039;s animalism, also conveyed via imagery, exempts her of responsibility and punishment.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores what Chaucer&#039;s use of genres strongly associated with female readers--such as vernacular devotional writing, conduct literature, and hagiography--suggests about his attitudes toward women. Examines the significance of the catalogue of Chaucer&#039;s works, including a lost translation of Pseudo-Origen&#039;s &quot;De Maria Magdalena,&quot; in LGW. Addresses Harry Bailly&#039;s response to Mel and its relationship to conduct literature, and the Man of Law&#039;s characterization of Chaucer as a writer of female saints&#039; lives.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Analyzes how Chaucer&#039;s rhetorical constructions decenter self-disclosure and resist simplistic notions of gender in WBPT, ClT, FranT, and PhyT. Figurative or allusive speech cannot adequately represent subjectivity and desire. Chaucer&#039;s treatments of the feminine subject are not univocal; however, his tales can both reinforce and undermine cultural and gender norms.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Few of Chaucer&#039;s primary audience (men like Sturry, Clifford, Clanover, Montagu, Vache, Scogan, Bukton, Gower, Strode, and Usk) survived him or were still active after his death.  His fifteenth-century audience was more broadly dispersed but more narrow, conservative, and prudent in its taste.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores the emphases and nuances of early critical praise and imitation of Chaucer&#039;s poetry among writers such as John Lydgate, Stephen Hawes, the author of &quot;The Book of Curtysye,&quot; and others. Focuses on their assessments of the &quot;craftsmanship&quot; of Chaucer&#039;s rhetoric, diction, and meter (including discussion of final &quot;-e&quot;), and their failure to match successfully the &quot;aptness, conciseness, freshness, and polish&quot; of his poetry.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Distraint, established in the thirteenth century, required that landholders whose lands produced 20 pounds a year must become knights, the rank involving both military and civil service.  The remark that he would rather have a son with the Squire&#039;s virtues than &quot;twenty pound worth lond&quot; (SqT 682), rather than indicating bourgeois mercenariness, indicates that the Franklin would rather have his son manifest the inner qualities of knighthood.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s descripiton of the Franklin as a &quot;vavasour&quot; (GP 360) reflects his acquaintance with the Vavasour family.  Like Chaucer, Sir William Vavasour testified in the Scrope-Grosvenor controversy; other Vavasours held offices similar to the Franklin&#039;s, although none was a sheriff.  The allusion contributes to the poet&#039;s topicality, elusiveness, and juxtaposition of epistemological dichotomies.]]></dcterms:description>
