    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses Chaucer&#039;s Ret as an adaptation of rhetorical and literary conventions of prologue, epilogue, and literary confession, arguing that his uses of the conventions in both ParsP and Ret indicate that he is resisting traditional rejections of secular literature and that he is &quot;viewing the problem&quot; of religious versus secular poetry &quot;with ironic and humorous detachment.&quot; Rejects readings of Ret that treat it as sincere autobiography.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Details the early, negative reputation of Criseyde in Chaucer&#039;s sources for TC, and discusses how Chaucer capitalizes upon this reputation in tension with the narrator&#039;s positive view of her in his poem in order to engage his audience.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Discusses classical, medieval, early modern, and modern examples of literary works that have been defined as &quot;epic,&quot; seeking to demonstrate the uses and development of the term.  Includes discussion of &quot;Langland and Chaucer&quot; (pp. 41-44) as part of the &quot;New Form&quot; of epic developed in the Middle Ages. CT and Langland&#039;s &quot;Piers Plowman&quot; are both examples of the &quot;long poem&quot; in English that are not part of the &quot;central line of epic.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Critiques prior attempts to resolve the discrepancy between Chaucer&#039;s reference to twenty-nine pilgrims (GP 1.24) and the headcount of those actually mentioned. Focusing on the Prioress&#039;s entourage (GP 1.163-64), offers a new resolution that depends upon an emendation and the proposition that Chaucer rearranged the descriptions which once included the Parson (with the Monk and Friar) among the Prioress&#039;s &quot;preestes thre.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
