    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Harmony of Chaucer&#039;s &#039;Parlement&#039; A Dissonant Voice]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that PF &quot;exemplifies and confronts&quot; late fourteenth-century concern with the role of subjective perspective in considering traditional authority. Through various stylized, &quot;thought-marked&quot; perspectives, the poem presents the &quot;disruptive force&quot; of individual experience and the need for &quot;self-limitation&quot;; as a proto-retraction, the roundel presages the endings of TC and CT by reauthorizing authority.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses the poetic structure of Edwin Arlington Robinson&#039;s &quot;The Man Against the Sky,&quot; demonstrating that it &quot;juxtaposes two dissimilar ideas forcing a new understanding of relationship&quot; in an inorganic fashion similar to that found in Ovid, Chaucer, Milton, and Blake. Comments on how the envoi to TC provokes consideration of disparate views of love.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Close reading of the speech patterns of the Canterbury pilgrims in the links between the tales, focusing on level of diction (Romance vocabulary), syntax, and figurative language, and relating these features to characterization. Comments at length on the Man of Law, Prioress, Franklin, and Reeve, and examines in detail passages that typify the Host as boisterous, the Wife of Bath as enthusiastic, and the Pardoner as cold-blooded and egotistical. Appends a statistical table of Romance words used in each link, analyzed by speaker.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Some Metonymic Relationships in Chaucer&#039;s Poetry]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines the word &quot;sad&quot; in ClT to show that meaning and nuance in Chaucer&#039;s poetry derive, not from patterns of similarity or metaphor, but from metonymic contiguity, which functions much as does the &quot;creative contiguity&quot; of Gothic juxtaposition. Borrows the term &quot;metonymic&quot; from linguist Roman Jacobson and shows that &quot;sad&quot; means &quot;constant in adversity&quot; and even &quot;serious cheerfulness,&quot; a reflection of &quot;heroic Christian stoicism&quot; that gains dimension through its contiguity with motherly.  Also comments on &quot;suffisaunce&quot; in TC as &quot;satisfaction&quot; or completeness, without satiety.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Praises the stylistic appropriateness of Astr to its youthful audience, showing how Chaucer adapts the lexicon, syntax, and rhetoric of Massahalla to be more suitable to his ten-year-old son, Lewis. Chaucer relies on native rather than Latinate vocabulary, incorporates concrete details, streamlines syntax, and increases pedagogical effectiveness through various strategies of simplification, amplification, and repetition.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Wife of Bath and the Clerk]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Critiques George Lyman Kittredge&#039;s notion of a feud between the Wife of Bath and the Clerk as &quot;aesthetically displeasing,&quot; and argues instead that their tension is essentially jocular, a result of the Wife&#039;s hope that she can entice the Clerk. The Clerk&#039;s intellectual standoffishness attracts the Wife, and their interactions reflect the motif of sexual attraction recurrent in the CT while varying its pattern of professional antagonism.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that MerT reflects delusive male infantile fantasy, reading January as ego, Placebo as id, Justinus as super-ego, and May as an idealized mother figure. The Merchant&#039;s encomnium of marriage and Damain&#039;s courtly behavior are extensions of January&#039;s infantilism and the garden is a fantasy of female genitalia, reinforced by January&#039;s regressive narcissistic blindness, oral imagery in the Tale, and instances of psychoanalytic &quot;reversal.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Proposes that Chaucer probably started with a provisional notion of the overall order of CT, which he experimented with, adjusted, and had not completely sorted out before he died. The scribes copied the text in stints as the best way to adapt Chaucer&#039;s progress in producing the poem, which may indicate a close working relation between Chaucer and his scribes.]]></dcterms:description>
