    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s Last Dream Vision: The &#039;Prologue&#039; to the &#039;Legend of Good Women&#039;]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[LGWP may be viewed as the poet&#039;s last of four experiments in the dream-vision form and as a self-contained dream poem rather than a simple prologue.  Chaucer affirms the visionary&#039;s initial views and attitudes but mocks the authority of its central allegorical figure, thus signaling his abandonment of the older Boethian style of vision and pointing the way to a new sort of poetry.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that parts 1-5 of CT represent a &quot;wholesale revision that Chaucer was engaged in at the time of his death,&quot; while parts 6-10 &quot;represent an earlier stage of composition.&quot; Suggests that Chaucer &quot;introduced dramatic interplay between narrator, tale, and audience&quot; while composing part 7 and discusses where this principle is evident through revision in parts 1 and 3-5 (Marriage Group). Comments on the links between Th, Mel, MkT, and NPT and on the possibility that the &quot;final descriptions&quot; of GP were added as part of this revision.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s LGW testifies to the disparate views of women prevalent in the Middle Ages.

By way of infinite regression, they encounter first the text, then a reading character, and finally themselves.
