    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Poetics of Alchemical Engagement: The Allegorical Journey to God in Ripley and Norton after Chaucer.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that &quot;fifteenth-century alchemical poets, George Ripley and Thomas Norton, perceived themselves to be &#039;Chaucerian&#039; in far deeper ways than has been recognized,&quot; joining &quot;author, reader and pilgrim on an essentially hermeneutical journey to Wisdom,&quot; and perceiving themselves to share&quot; with Chaucer &quot;the Boethian belief&quot; that perception of the supernatural can be achieved. Includes discussion of Ripley&#039;s and Norton&#039;s uses of CYPT and reads ClPT for ways Chaucer engages Heraclitus&#039;s &quot;river of time,&quot; challenges Petrarch&#039;s &quot;debunking&quot; of the Middle Ages, and presents Walter and Griselda&#039;s marriage as a union of &quot;Time with Eternity, and the human with the divine.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Includes comments on BD and lengthier discussion of CT (especially Mel) while exploring the growth of &quot;apologetic culture.&quot; Also examines questions of &quot;affective sincerity versus linguistic performance&quot; in TC, particularly how they lead readers &quot;to be convinced of Criseyde’s sincere, compassionate love.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
