    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Criticism and Medieval Poetry.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Applies the techniques of &quot;close reading&quot; or &quot;practical criticism&quot; to works of medieval literature, adjusting the method to accord with medieval literary and linguistic conventions, especially oral recitation. Examines passages from &quot;Piers Plowman,&quot; &quot;Sir Gawain and the Green Knight,&quot; TC, and Robert Henryson&#039;s &quot;Testament of Cresseid,&quot; along with medieval literary theory found in the &quot;artes poeticae&quot; while referring to a wide range of works. The discussion of TC, &quot;Chaucer as Novelist&quot; (pp. 96-117), focuses on ways in which the poem is and is not &quot;novelistic,&quot; examining two passages closely (Criseyde&#039;s dream, 2.915ff., and the lovers&#039; parting, 4.1128ff), disclosing the ways that they, &quot;life-like&quot; and ambiguous, impose &quot;no one interpretation on us.&quot; Elsewhere explicates BD 387-442, comments on Chaucer&#039;s engagement with medieval rhetoricians, and investigates the &quot;complex relationship with Chaucer&quot; found in Henryson&#039;s &quot;Testament.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The differences between modernity and the Middle Ages can enable, rather than disable, interpretation.  Applying modern critical theory to PrT can undo the absoluteness on which much historical thinking is based and can enlighten the dilemma of medievalists confronted with incompatibilities between their own values and the anti-Semitism of the medieval text.  Failure to apply modern theory is actually a refusal of our own historicity.]]></dcterms:description>

Derived from the &quot;topsy-turvy&quot; world of conventional comedy, the Wife gains readers&#039; sympathy because they recognize her &quot;stock incongruity.&quot; In the &quot;comic displacement&quot; of GP, the &quot;sermon joyeux&quot; of WBP, and the &quot;mock romance&quot; of WBT, exaggeration and distortion create a figure who &quot;receives a comic absolution in her listeners&#039; entertainment.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Chauntecleer, with his royal demeanor and his easily allayed fears of foretold mishap, is a comic Croesus, while Pertelote, with her misapplied dream lore, is an inversion of Phania,&quot; the daughter of Croesus.]]></dcterms:description>
