    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[&#039;Pax Poetica&#039;: On the Pacifism of Chaucer and Gower]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The pacifism of Gower&#039;s later writings develops from an early grounding in the legalist theories of Isidore and Gratian to an Augustinian emphasis on motivation.  Chaucer&#039;s position is less clear, but also eirenic, as inferred from biographical data, from concerns about the morality of war expressed in contemporary literature, and from his adopting Mel and Th narratives in CT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The exchange of Criseyde for Antenor in TC inserts &quot;peple&quot; and a &quot;Parlement&quot; into the negotiations described in &quot;Il Filostrato,&quot; a change resulting from the political context of 1381, when the peasants revolted and Parliament became more sensitive to their wishes than to those of the knightly estate. Chaucer thus indicts the fourteenth-century analogues of &quot;peple&quot; and &quot;Parlement&quot;: the peasants and English Parliament.]]></dcterms:description>

At the end of TC, the narrator discovers his independence from his pagan material, realizes first what it means to be a poet and then what it means to be a Christian poet.]]></dcterms:description>

Focuses on the notion of &quot;diversity&quot; in &quot;Piers Plowman&quot; and other alliterative verse as an extension of Continental legal thought and explores contrasts between Langland&#039;s &quot;field of folk&quot; and Chaucer&#039;s &quot;sundry folk&quot; in GP.]]></dcterms:description>

Chaucer&#039;s narrator criticizes the Miller&#039;s narrative voice, reinforcing chroniclers&#039; depictions of &quot;turbe,&quot; i.e., &quot;declasse voices speaking undistinguishable and unindividualizable &#039;harlotrie.&#039;&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Bradwardine&#039;s concept of God&#039;s &quot;potentia absoluta&quot; serves to reconcile the literal and allegorical meanings of Walter in ClT.  Griselda must accept Walter&#039;s actions, though she cannot comprehend them.

Pandarus and the narrator adopt priestly roles, Troilus is like an anti-Lollard zealot, and forms of address such as &quot;madame&quot; and &quot;sire&quot; carry political overtones in TC and CT.
