    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In FrT, Chaucer satirizes some &quot;excesses of fourteenth-century logical demonstration&quot; and develops a &quot;theory of fiction from the theories of intention current in his day.&quot;  Intentionality involves the &quot;relation of language to the real,&quot; and &quot;conflicting views of the concept of intentionality lie at the heart of the larger realist-nominalist debate in the Middle Ages.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that the dream vision aspects of HF and NPT can be read &quot;through their shared preoccupations with writing, reading and problematic quest for &#039;authority&#039; by vernacular texts.&quot; Addresses the importance of textual authority, allegory, and parody, as well as how Chaucer uses Italian sources, including &quot;repurposing Dante&#039;s vision of Paradise,&quot; to create meaning in language.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines the textbook practices of the medieval primary schools--the &quot;grammar schools&quot; or &quot;grammatica&quot;--as underlying the transition from Latin to English as the primary language of &quot;literary&quot; composition in England during the fourteenth century. Identifies Gower, Langland, and Chaucer as describing rather than reacting to the shift to English vernacular &quot;literary&quot; work. Explicates diversity in instructional practices during the period and argues that the classroom interplay in poetry between English and Latin led to acceptance of English as a &quot;literary&quot; language, noting the prevalence of Latin textbook passages rendered in English verse as supporting evidence. ]]></dcterms:description>
