    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[&quot;The Kingis Quair&quot; has been interpreted as autobiographical and Boethian.  If, however, James I understood Boethius as Chaucer did, both interpretations are incorrect.  James discredits his narrator persona by using the Chaucerian Boethius as a standard that he cannot attain.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues for an ironic reading of &quot;The Kingis Quair,&quot; interpreting Minerva as an ally of Venus.  TC influenced the author&#039;s view of Minerva, and the protagonist&#039;s decision to follow his will rather than reason places him in sinful subjection to fortune.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This Bakhtinian discussion of KnT argues that the &quot;flaws&quot; perceived by earlier critics result from misguided efforts at finding homogeneity in the poem.  As a product of a complex literary culture, KnT reflects the culture&#039;s &quot;heteroglossia&quot; and cannot be reduced to a single coherent reading.  The poem&#039;s multiplicity reflects equivocal understandings in Chaucer&#039;s time of such crucial concepts as mercy, tyranny, and love.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Most studies of the vernacular used in religious writing of the late-fourteenth century focus on clerical authors. Clanvowe, a layperson and chamber knight of Richard II, uses the vernacular to discuss Lollardy covertly. Otey examines works of Chaucer and Gower for similar meanings.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Human experience explodes the reductive and stereotypical distinctions between good and bad and between women and men posed in LGW, undercutting the title of the poem, rendering the narrator&#039;s task pointless, and encouraging the reader to reject the inappropriate perspective imposed by the God of Love.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Despite totally different tone and purpose, Chaucer&#039;s LGWP parallels Dante&#039;s &quot;Purgatorio&quot; significantly:  both poets present their narrators as undergoing penance; both Alceste and Beatrice, allegorically garbed and attended, serve as spiritual mediators, heralds of deities, and reconcilers of the classical with the contemporary.  Dante&#039;s profession of reality contrasts with Chaucer&#039;s evident fiction.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The narrator of PrT desires to transcend the particularities of language and history, echoing patterns of medieval Jewish martyrdom connected to the &quot;kiddush ha-Shem,&quot; which may have been known in Chaucer&#039;s England. Complex textual and historical intersections open the possibility of reading PrT not as an anti-Semitic tract but as a meditation on moral sophistication.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The prefaces to Spenser&#039;s &quot;Shepheardes Calendar&quot;  (1579) and to Thomas Speght&#039;s &quot;Workes of Chaucer&quot; (1598) share similarities with Lydgate&#039;s&quot; Fall of Princes&quot; and thus belie the claims made for a break in continuity with the past in sixteenth-century England, indicating instead a seamless &quot;textual  culture&quot; across the period between the Middle Ages and Renaissance.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In ClT and especially MLT, Chaucer examines the problem of undeserved suffering.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Critically regarded as a failure, MLT may be seen in better light if we look at its overriding theme: the efficacy of God&#039;s will at work in the world.  But while the tale succeeds in explicating that theme, it fails in its portrayal of Constance, whose passivity and failure to interact with other characters diminish her believability and appeal as a heroine.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[MerT is about limits and trangressions.  January violates a limit marrying May; May violates moral limits; modes of parody and irony raze barriers between tragic and comic, making the tale its own anti-tale.  The explicit cynicism and &quot;realism&quot; of the fabliau conflicts with the values of the tragic &quot;lai.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
