    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s Riding Rhyme]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s poetry should be declaimed or at least heard with the &quot;mind&#039;s ear.&quot; His decasyllabic couplets, once dismissed by critics as &quot;riding rhyme&quot; and even confused with the doggerel of Th, are &quot;eminently playable,&quot; offering a variety of phonological and semantic possibilities. Rhyme, enjambment, and caesurae contribute to Chaucer&#039;s conversational style in CT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Reflects on the importance of incorporating the &quot;professional and popular&quot; representations of CT to enhance classroom teaching of Chaucer. Films, including Brian Helgeland&#039;s &quot;A Knight&#039;s Tale,&quot; Jonathan Myerson&#039;s animated &quot;Canterbury Tales&quot; trilogy, and contemporary murder mysteries, such as Paul C.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Distinguishes between academic and popular versions of Chaucer, defining and discussing various categories of popular intertextuality: adaptations, appropriations, invocations, and citations--diminishing degrees of engagement with original works. Also focuses on select popular materials produced since 1990: detective fiction, filmed adaptations, literature of the African diaspora, and market-driven capitalizing on Chaucer and his image. This popular tradition engages CT almost exclusively among Chaucer&#039;s works, particularly its satire, tale-telling, and pilgrimage motif.]]></dcterms:description>

Stephenson&#039;s deployment of Chaucer as a descriptor for early twentieth-century Australian poetry, noting his assertion of &quot;Chaucerian&quot; as shorthand for &quot;a golden age of national self-confidence in which cosmopolitan sophistication combines with local pride to create a proud, distinctive literature and culture.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Chapters 2 and 3 emphasize that Chaucer employs Langland&#039;s peasant &quot;croft, or half acre&quot; as an image of nation in NPT, ClT, KnT, and PF.
