    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Constructing Chaucer: Author and Autofiction in the Critical Tradition]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Gust seeks to &quot;reenergize persona theory&quot; for future Chaucer scholarship, arguing that Chaucer&#039;s &quot;autofictional&quot; persona should be regarded as the central topic not only of Chaucer&#039;s works but also of studies of his reception and literary history at large. Comments on the personae throughout Chaucer&#039;s corpus and on his reception history, focusing on biographical criticism from the fifteenth century to the present, several lyrics (Scog, Buk, Adam, Sted, Purse), Ret, WBPT, PardPT, and Th-MelL. Homosocial concerns in these works challenge critics to read Chaucer&#039;s persona in CT as queer, although not necessarily homosexual.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses how the sixteenth-century editions of Chaucer by Thynne and Speght helped to create and monumentalize a view of the writer.  Renaissance notions of authors, evident in Speght&#039;s Chaucer, Holland&#039;s Livy, and Harrington&#039;s Ariosto, are not the same as those theorized by Foucault and Barthes,but they mark a stage in the development of such a view of authorship.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Animals figure prominently in BD but are more than mere symbols. Ceyx&#039;s dead body is also an &quot;unnatural animal.&quot; The birds, horse, whelp, and hart invite, but also resist, interpretation. The juxtaposition of death and animalistic vitality evokes grief, which itself is the simultaneous awareness of being present in life and of death.
