    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines critical discourses from the late Middle Ages to the late twentieth century that have constructed Chaucer for, and mediated his poetry to, subsequent readers. Trigg explores &quot;Chaucer&#039;s status as an exemplary canonical author for English literary tradition,&quot; models of Chaucerian authorship, and fifteenth-century constructions of the &quot;open&quot; Chaucerian text. She surveys the importance of Dryden&#039;s translation of Chaucer and the nature of writing about Chaucer in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and considers various &quot;recent attempts to &#039;reform&#039; Chaucer studies.&quot; She contends that the field &quot;still has the capacity to be an exemplary topic in our meditations on similarity and difference with other cultures.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores the relation of gender and the genre of romance in Chaucer&#039;s CT, especially the mutually defining and delimiting power of the two categories. Women conform to the particular roles romance carves out for them, while the genre is simultaneously limited by these restricted female roles. Defined by a uniquely &quot;vague set of generic criteria,&quot; romance mimes the position of women in the romances themselves. Chaucer questions the role and position of women and tests the limits of romance, a form that appears to be coterminous with femininity itself.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Cast as a discussion among four participants (Reductio, Thea, Ceres, and Cassandra), this closet drama explores relations among power, gender, trade, religion, and their representation in MLT.  The characters are, loosely, representatives of different but nonconflicting critical schools, discussing how (and whether) patriarchy speaks through the poem, its kinds of commodification and repression, parallels between matters related to women and Islam, and the applicability of MLT to the modern world.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The story of Constance is not especially appropriate to the Man of Law.  Chaucer was attracted to it because it is a good piece of fiction and because it gave him the perfect opportunity to set forth and justify his belief in astrology.  The story illustrates perfectly how a Christian could believe in astrology and not be a complete determinist.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The pattern of sustained allusion to Gower&#039;s &quot;Confessio Amantis&quot; provides an important index to the purpose of MLT. Gower communicates the horror of a moral void; the Man of Law inveighs against Canacee&#039;s sinfulness.  Chaucer&#039;s tale ultimately &quot;serves to expose the emptiness at the heart of the Man of Law&#039;s affirmation of order.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Constance is that rarity, a romance &quot;heroine,&quot; who, like the more familiar hero, learns through trials and difficulties. The tale is thus perhaps one of those narratives that marks the transition from matriarchy to patriarchy in European culture.  The tale is a romance but it still bears the marks of its Marchen roots, especially in the mechanism of female initiation.  ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Regards the detail of covering the child&#039;s eyes in MLT 2.840-41 as a &quot;homely touch&quot; of pathos, perhaps drawn from child-care advice found in Bartholomaeus Anglicus, &quot;De Proprietatibus Rerum.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Custance of MLT is a &quot;worthy victim&quot; of the broken promises of others and someone who &quot;steadfastly&quot; keeps her own. CYPT, on the other hand, is &quot;marked by changeability, mutability, and vacillation&quot;; its characters mislead others by false and broken promises.]]></dcterms:description>
