    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The white eagle of Criseyde&#039;s dream of TC 2.925-931 is a &quot;superimposition of the eagle of Purgatorio IX and the doves of Inferno V&quot;; it links the love affair of TC with that of Dante&#039;s ruined Paolo and Francesca. The mating of doves and eagles in Criseyde&#039;s speech of 3.1492-98 is not the impossibilium it would appear to be, in keeping with the inevitability of Criseyde&#039;s betrayal of Troilus.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In BD, Chaucer relies on Latin &quot;artes poeticae&quot; and French courtly poetry for sources and models.  &quot;Amplificatio&quot; is prominent:  &quot;expolitio,&quot; &quot;circumlocutio,&quot; &quot;collatio,&quot; &quot;apostrophatio,&quot; &quot;prosopopeia,&quot; &quot;digressio,&quot; &quot;descriptio,&quot; and &quot;oppositio.&quot;  The beginning complaint in BD would be appropriate for Aurelius in FranT.  The narrator is literal;it is only &quot;in the context of the figurative that the literal possess its full rhetorical power.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The first section of HF is related stylistically to English romances such as &quot;Havelok,&quot; but Chaucer is more reticent:  his art conceals &quot;itself behind the appearance of artlessness,&quot; as the narrator relates the story by the pictorial record in the temple of Venus.  The code of visual images is dominant.  Chaucer follows &quot;artes poeticae&quot; in advancing to prominence the narrator who calls attention to textuality and intretextuality.]]></dcterms:description>
