    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Suggests that aspects of the ritual of sacramental confession are noticeable in the fabricated version of Troilus&#039;s admission of love that Pandarus reports to Criseyde in TC 2.523ff. Also notes other echoes of confession in Books 1 and 2 that Chaucer&#039;s audience was likely to notice.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s Use of &quot;Gan.&quot;]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Analyzes Chaucer&#039;s use of the auxiliary verb &quot;ginnan&quot;/&quot;gan,&quot; a periphrastic preterit, in contrast with simple preterits, to produce &quot;distinctions in tempo, intensity, and manner.&quot; Comments on examples such as &quot;gan behold&quot;/&quot;beheld&quot;, &quot;gan to turne&quot;/ turned,&quot; &quot;gan he stalke&quot;/&quot;stalked,&quot; etc., gauging stylistic effects in various contexts, and comparing Chaucer&#039;s usage with those of other Middle English writers. Suggests &quot;the &#039;gan&#039; form of the preterit functioned as aspect instead of as a tense identical to the simple preterit.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
