    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer and the English Tradition]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Treats Chaucer as a &quot;great&quot; poet and the &quot;father&quot; of English literature, commenting on the &quot;wonderful&quot; range of tones in his poetry, its relations with French and Italian works, its similarities with other late-medieval English works, and the perspectives of twentieth-century criticism, especially historicist approaches. Views the &quot;frivolous seriousness&quot; of PF as a harbinger of the &quot;great&quot; and sometimes &quot;perfect&quot; poetry of CT. BD is too closely linked to French courtly love tradition, which Chaucer elsewhere submits to the &quot;criticism of life,&quot; embodied in Pandarus in TC and in the various points of view of CT, where in his depictions of love Chaucer creates the &quot;language of the English tradition.&quot; Comments at length on tone and style in GP, MilT, WBP, KnT, MerT, PrT, MLT, ClT, and FranT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Love&#039;s Fools: Aucassin, Troilus, Calisto and the Parody of the Courtly Love]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Defines &quot;courtly love&quot; and &quot;parody&quot; and examines three protagonists as parodic courtly lovers (Aucassin of the anonymous &quot;Aucassin and Nicolette,&quot; Troilus of TC, and Calisto of Fernando de Rojas&#039;s &quot;Celestina&quot;), assessing them in light of Northrup Frye&#039;s anatomy of mode, romance, and mimesis. Chaucer&#039;s Troilus is &quot;tragicomic,&quot; a &quot;sympathetic parody&quot; of the courtly lover and &quot;far removed from the hero of romance.&quot; He is &quot;essentially a high mimetic figure with tendencies to the low mimetic form,&quot; lacking the superior powers of expression characteristic of a true hero.]]></dcterms:description>

Following tradition, Chaucer presents Nature as &quot;pronuba as well as procreatrix&quot; and &quot;vicaria Dei,&quot; the universal vicar of God whose &quot;doctrine of love&quot; is an orderly combination of pleasure, productivity, and marriage.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Surveys criticism of SNPT, describes the genre of hagiography, and summarizes the popularity of the St. Cecilia legend.
