    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Establishes the authenticity of Shakespeare&#039;s &quot;A Lover&#039;s Complaint&quot; and suggests that the female falcon&#039;s complaint in SqT is a possible analogue. Both laments belong to the complaint tradition.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Analyzes the unique marginal annotations in the Harley 2392 version of TC, exploring the role played by the scribe of the manuscript. The marginalia seem to hint at something beyond the task of a copyist, since they entail interpretation of what Chaucer wrote.]]></dcterms:description>

Argues that Chaucer&#039;s understanding of Judaism in PrT and Islam in MLT reveals the &quot;ironies of self-identity and the patterns of human experience&quot; within CT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Criseyde shows more of a &quot;mannes herte&quot; than does Troilus in the  consummation scene of TC. Throughout the poem, she chooses masculine, active  self-interest rather than feminine, passive submission. In characterizing Criseyde, TC explores and exploits several oppositions--dishonor/death, masculine/feminine, epic/romance, Greece/Troy, war/love--thereby destabilizing gender.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[ClT and MLT dramatize contemporary uncertainties concerning the extent of a mother&#039;s genetic &quot;influence&quot; on her offspring, even as they critique the &quot;fantasy of an autonomous male line.&quot; Given that disputes regarding monarchal succession formed the crux of the Hundred Years&#039; War, these two portions of CT also critique the French tendency to deny maternal transmission of royal blood.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Though the antipoetic and devoutly Christian voices of ParsT and Ret conclude CT, Chaucer assumes three voices in GP: a &quot;clerkly&quot; and rhetorically trained voice for the opening, Chaucer the Pilgrim&#039;s voice reporting on the group, and Harry Bailly&#039;s voice with his mirth- and profit-oriented spiel for the end of GP.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The social background of ShT offers a rationale for the actions of the characters, especially of the wife.  Her struggle to achieve parity in her mercantile marriage transforms her into a reflection of her husband.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[ClT reflects aspects of Richard II&#039;s life and philosophy of kingship--and perhaps Chaucer&#039;s fanciful solutions to Richard II&#039;s political dilemma of an heirless realm: divorce or a consort advisor. The insistence on &quot;obedience to authority&quot; in ClT mirrors Richard&#039;s growing concern with disobedience as &quot;the greatest affront to a ruler&quot; and acquires &quot;very real political associations for its Ricardian readers.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The &quot;whit thyng&quot; the miller&#039;s wife sees in the dark bedroom is not the clerk&#039;s nightcap.  Instead, the term is taken from medieval philosophy, wherein objects are first judged by color.  On closer inspection, they become human and take form.  The &quot;white thing&quot; is often subject to human error.  Thus, RvT, like other stories in the first fragment, explores &quot;the limitations of human perception.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Most critical opinion has followed Kittredge&#039;s 1912 evaluation of FranT as Chaucer&#039;s treatment of ideal marriage.  FranT is actually about what it is like to be married, and its center is Dorigen, Chaucer&#039;s unique portrayal of a genuinely good, loving, and lovable woman.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[With the introduction of &quot;Jakke Straw&quot; into NPT, Chaucer returns to the English setting of the early Canterbury stories.  By alternating styles in the peasant passages and the chicken passages, he both addresses the historical turmoil of the day and, ultimately, retreats from it.  Such vacillation reflects the unwillingness of Chaucer&#039;s contemporaries to take seriously the voice of the third estate.]]></dcterms:description>
