    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s Unfinished Pilgrimage]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Benson urges that Chaucer be returned from merely professional scholarship to the mainstream of English literature and finds that structuralist, poststructuralist, Marxist, and feminist theories give new perspectives on Chaucer&#039;s work.  Equally, however, we must recognize that Chaucer is a Christian poet--though not in the rigid Robertsonian sense--whose religious tales are some of the finest Christian poetry in our language.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s Universe]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[North reveals a cryptic extension to Chaucerian criticism:  a celestial allegory.  Part 1 is a guide to late-medieval understanding of the planets and their influences on humans, physiologically and morally, including chapters on the spheres, the astrolabe, diverse tables, the medieval theory of celestial bodies, medieval astrology, and FranT.  Includes attention to Astro and the authorship of Equat.  Part 2 provides &quot;an astronomical exegesis&quot; of Chaucer&#039;s works which explores how and where Chaucer encodes astronomical assumptions and information in his major poetic works: BD, HF, PF, Mars, LGW, TC, and CT (especially MLT, WBP, MerT, SqT, FranT, and NPT).]]></dcterms:description>

Because nonce words increase as Chaucer&#039;s career progresses, their frequency can be used for relative dating.
