    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Continental England: Form, Translation, and Chaucer in the Hundred Years&#039; War.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Studies uses in late medieval England of French lyric models (formes fixes) as &quot;reparative&quot; translation of francophone culture, and response to linguistic and political trends and tensions of the Hundred Years War. Includes discussion of Chaucer&#039;s decision to write in English (as reflected in LGWP and in Eustace Deschamps&#039;s ballade in praise of Chaucer as a &quot;translateur&quot;), John Shirley&#039;s and John Lydgate&#039;s views of Chaucer as a cultural translator, and the importance of formes fixes in understanding canon formation and Chaucer as a &quot;laurel&quot; poet. Also discusses formes fixes in Gower&#039;s Trentham manuscript and Hoccleve&#039;s Huntington holographs.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Geoffrey Chaucer&#039;s Reception of Alan of Lille.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses how Chaucer&#039;s references to Alain de Lille&#039;s works in HF, 985–89 and PF, 315–18 distinguish his own poetic project from the Neoplatonic ideals that Alain represents, preferring worldly tidings to the spiritual wisdom of the empyrean, and seeking &quot;common profit,&quot; not in Ciceronian service to the state but in dedication to natural procreation. Clarifies Neoplatonic idealism (rooted in Plato&#039;s &quot;Timaeus&quot;) and Chaucer&#039;s skeptical attitude toward it as a late medieval Aristotelian work.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Dante&#039;s Divine Comedy in Early Renaissance England: The Collision of Two Worlds]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Studies the reception of Dante in England, 1370–1450, focusing on ecclesiastical concerns about the &quot;Divine Comedy&quot; (DC) and literary responses to the poem and its worldview. Includes assessment of possible routes for Chaucer&#039;s initial access to DC (through travel and otherwise) and contrasts the poets&#039; uses of the vernacular and their attitudes toward the literary legacy of Rome, especially Statius and Virgil. Reviews connections between DC and HF, TC, MkT, and other works, with an extended discussion of parallels between Criseyde and Dante&#039;s Francesca. Recurrently suggests Chaucer&#039;s role in mediating Dante&#039;s influence and emphasizes their intellectual differences.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Attends to &quot;evident Scotian implications&quot; of MLT and ClT without arguing that Chaucer read or was directly influenced by the works of John Duns Scotus. Focuses on the nature of God and voluntarism in the tales, arguing that &quot;where Custance had to contend only with the will of God, Griselda has to confront a barely intelligible, if unmistakable, reminder of God himself&quot; in Walter.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Identifies internal &quot;traces of uncertainty and changes of mind&quot; in the composition process of TC, aligning them with the poem&#039;s theme of the unreliability of Boethian Fortune and challenging ideas about the supposed &quot;planned wholeness&quot; of TC and its putative unitary narrator. Examines ways that Chaucer&#039;s contemporary London contributes to his depiction of Troy and its culture, evident by contrast with details from Boccaccio and other sources.]]></dcterms:description>

Focuses on &quot;elliptical ekphrasis&quot; of source material as axiological choice, and as a method of literary generation and renewal, with particular attention to dreaming and Virgil&#039;s &quot;Aeneid,&quot; reading the omission of Virgil&#039;s gates of dream from Chaucer&#039;s poem as intentional and evocative.]]></dcterms:description>

These evince Chaucer&#039;s deep, sophisticated, and career-long engagement with poetic sensibilities that underlie the &quot;double-author&quot; &quot;Rose&quot; and its views on glossing, translation, and truth-value. Also comments on Chaucer&#039;s use of the &quot;Rose&quot; in LGWP F328-31]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that the &quot;modes of religious expression&quot; in PrT are &quot;vernacular&quot; insofar as they are simultaneously canny and naïve. Using romance discourse to express religious orthodoxy, the Prioress challenges patriarchal &quot;Latinate institutions,&quot; evident by contrast with Richard Rolle&#039;s works, but she reduplicates the violence of both romance and orthodoxy. Compares the Prioress&#039;s challenge to those of the Wife of Bath, and contrasts her violent orthodoxy with that of the Second Nun. ]]></dcterms:description>
