    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Idleness, Chess, and Tables: Recuperating Fables in Chaucer&#039;s &quot;Book of the Duchess.&quot; ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Considers the relations between BD and fourteenth-century devotional texts, particularly &quot;Cursor mundi,&quot; that disparage &quot;fable&quot; as a form of idleness. Rejecting the popular association between consuming fiction and playing idle games, BD reclaims storytelling as &quot;active, productive, and restorative,&quot; thus critiquing &quot;medieval attitudes toward fiction.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Identifies the &quot;Catholic Humanist rhetorical&quot; ideal that combines &quot;wit and wisdom&quot; in Shakespeare&#039;s &quot;As You Like It,&quot; examining ten individual scenes. Opens with background to this ideal in European humanism, especially Italian and English, including discussion of Chaucer&#039;s place in its development. Focuses on WBP, emphasizing the question of speaking authoritatively about marriage, and on the gentilesse speech in WBT (1109–215), claiming that the latter may suggest &quot;some of the virtues that make life-long monogamy both possible and enjoyable.&quot; Suggests Chaucer&#039;s &quot;sentence&quot; and &quot;solas&quot; entail &quot;wisdom&quot; and &quot;spiritual joy.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
