    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[John Trevisa&#039;s Information Age: Knowledge and the Pursuit of Literature, c. 1400.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Considers John Trevisa&#039;s translations of &quot;compendious&quot; encyclopedic texts as examples of a prose literary form that is an influential part of a late medieval literary history, an &quot;alternative&quot; to the better-known tradition of Trevisa&#039;s poetic contemporaries--Chaucer, Gower, and Langland.  Addresses Trevisa&#039;s works as a distinct kind of text and a way of processing, organizing, and presenting information, exploring antecedents and descendants, and at points exemplifying differences from and similarities to works by Chaucer and others. The index includes nine citations of Chaucer, but he is also mentioned elsewhere in the book.]]></dcterms:description>
