    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Various concepts of &quot;otherness&quot; in SqT--oriental setting, magic, non-human speech, female centrality--reflect Chaucer&#039;s &quot;reshaping&quot; of Ovidian &quot;transformation&quot; myth. His efforts to enter &quot;into feminized animal subjectivity . . . intertwine with magic.&quot; Yet, &quot;the experiment must inevitably fail.&quot; Kordecki also comments on ManT and NPT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Describes the backgrounds to Chaucer&#039;s reference to St. Valentine in PF (line 309) and explores its contemporaneous contexts in the poetry of Oton de Grandson and Charles d&#039;Orléans. Rooted in Roman Lupercalia seasonal rites of purification and fertility, in the Christian holyday of Candlemas, and in legends of St. Valentine as &quot;patron saint of the natural world,&quot; Chaucer&#039;s poem is indebted to Grandson&#039;s &quot;Songe St. Valentin,&quot; although he &quot;restored&quot; Valentine&#039;s more direct association with nature.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores Chaucer&#039;s meanings for &quot;translation&quot; and related terms, using them to examine Chaucer&#039;s use of source material.  Conjointure, verbal play, etymologizing, and transfer of meaning typify Chaucerian translation, exemplified in Troilus&#039;s complaint from Petrarch (TC 1.400-420) and emblematized in the magic ring and brass steed of SqT.  Taylor also explores the point at which Chaucer stops translating in Rom, the personification of sound in HF, and various instances of verbal play in CT.]]></dcterms:description>
