    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In GP the Parson and the Plowman are polysemic figures that emerge from the expression of conflicting, dialogic voices--not idealized role models. Free indirect speech in the Parson&#039;s description allows the audience to suspect that he is a whitened sepulcher; the Plowman&#039;s low profile and overall silence invite us to guess his unvoiced thoughts.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[ParsPT and the GP description of the Parson reflect &quot;concerns over the limits of late-medieval pastoral language.&quot; While the GP Parson suggests Wycliffite emphasis on Scripture, one finds a more orthodox view in ParsPT, with its focus on self-reformation through penance. The &quot;disunity&quot; of ParsT--an innovative vernacular articulation of contrition combined with a traditional catalog of sins--shows Chaucer exploring issues of language and lay instruction prompted by Wycliffite discourse.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[By assigning his English translation of Raymund of Pennaforte&#039;s &quot;orthodox&quot; yet &quot;contritionist&quot; &quot;Summa de poenitentia&quot; to the Parson, Chaucer subtly resists the emphasis on oral confession to priests that characterized the doctrine of penance of his day. In this way, he began a trend followed by fifteenth-century writers such as Julian of Norwich, Eleanor Hull, Margery Kempe, and Thomas Hoccleve.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[ParsT makes use of a tradition of penitential mediation (cf. ParsP 55 and 69) on the virtues and vices.  In the plan of CT, ParsT abandons the emotive fiction and fables of the earlier tales for the solid ground of meditation, transforming an earthly pilgrimage into a spiritual journey.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Frames and analyzes the pilgrims of CT in terms of the social contexts surrounding their professions in Chaucer&#039;s lifetime and the antecedent few decades, interestingly moving directly against perceived social ordering to do so. Begins with the rural pilgrims before moving to the more urban, then the religious, then the military. Pilgrims&#039; encapsulations of aspects of later medieval English life, both observed and contemporaneously figured, are used to reaffirm Chaucer&#039;s understanding of the breadth of the societies in which he lived.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[&quot;Peple&quot; and &quot;folk&quot; are marked terms in Chaucer&#039;s usage. In particular, &quot;peple&quot; is nearly always negative; &quot;folk&quot; is either neutral or positive. In Chaucer&#039;s translations (e.g., Bo), &quot;folk&quot; normally translates as &quot;gens&quot; or its cognates, while &quot;peple&quot; translates as &quot;vulgus,&quot; &quot;populus,&quot; or their cognates. In TC and CT, &quot;folk&quot; refers to lovers; the Miller, Reeve, and Wife of Bath do not use &quot;peple&quot; at all. In ClT, &quot;peple&quot; refers to the citizens of Saluzzo, but Griselde is among the &quot;folk.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Criseyde&#039;s allusion to Prudence with &quot;eyen thre&quot; is derived from Dante&#039;s &quot;Purgatorio,&quot; 29.132; but since the Italian reference is cryptic in style and symbology, Chaucer was probably also influenced by glosses and illuminations for the passage, similar to some found in surviving manuscripts of the &quot;Commedia&quot; today.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s Philosophical Visions]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s dream visions confront contemporary philosophical debates, which also shape his poetics. BD is concerned with the status of universals, the relationship of universals to singulars, and the certainty of human knowledge. HF mocks &quot;the logical systems that attempt to organize and give meaning to worldly diversity&quot; (p. 64). Discussions of human will by Aquinas, Duns Scotus, Bradwardine, and Wyclif shed light on PF, which begins in a world without will but concludes with the formel eagle&#039;s acting freely. Like HF, LGW is about competing truths. The F prologue is the likely revision because its tension and ambiguity are important elements of Chaucer&#039;s style. In LGW, Chaucer creates a world where external verification is very difficult; both male and female characters commit the liar&#039;s paradox.]]></dcterms:description>
