    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s Narrators and the Rhetoric of Self-Representation]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Foster revisits the question of Chaucer&#039;s narrator as a fictional construct, gauging responses that the verisimilitude of Chaucer&#039;s narrative might have invited in a contemporary audience. In WBP, Jankyn&#039;s actions as a reader comment on Chaucer&#039;s narrator and his literary and scholarly competence. In the dream visions, the narrators&#039; attitudes toward reading create a Chaucer-like persona who relies on authority rather than experience (HF), who is emotionally limited (PF), and who has a textual relationship with Love (LGWP). TC contrasts the communal experience of an aural audience with the experience of a silent, solitary reader.]]></dcterms:description>
