    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that R. K. Root&#039;s groupings of manuscript variants in TC (alpha, beta, and gamma) evince Chaucer&#039;s developments in his characterizations of Pandarus, Troilus, and, especially, Criseyde; the characterizations also help to balance tragedy and comedy in the poem.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines the imagery and irony of FrT, RvT, ShT, MerT, SumT, and MilT, focusing on how in each tale Chaucer achieves &quot;organic&quot; unity through transformation of the &quot;conventional formulae&quot; of medieval rhetorical handbooks. Summarizes the practices recommended by rhetoricians, especially Geoffrey Vinsauf, and exemplifies Chaucer&#039;s uses of &quot;effictio&quot; and &quot;notatio&quot; in BD and GP. Then traces how in each of the fabliaux Chaucer artfully crafts patterns of imagery and figurative comparisons to complicate plot, deepen theme ironically, and engage his audience aesthetically and intellectually.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Contends that MilT differs from both KnT and RvT in its presentation of a world that lacks rational order or poetic justice. Alison escapes punishment and John is punished unfairly so that behind the jollity and illusion of order in the MilT lies &quot;essential disorder.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
