    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Akahori analyzes characteristics of May in MerT, focusing on her presence in January&#039;s garden and nuances of the adjective &quot;fressh.&quot; Exploring instances of the word throughout CT, the author shows that its use in MerT is sarcastic.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Equat is not a holograph.  The careful preparation of certain aspects of the text indicates a final version, and certain deletions and corrections suggest that the copier did not always understand the material he wrote down.  The scribe was likely an inexperienced individual, writing in London, who associated the calculation for the radix with Chaucer&#039;s name.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that Chaucer&#039;s characterizations of the three main actors in TC produce an &quot;Oedipal triangle&quot; that helps to explain the power of the feelings in the consummation scene. Considers the changes Chaucer makes to Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Filostrato,&quot; focusing on Troilus&#039;s swoon which, though &quot;puzzling,&quot; is &quot;psychologically &#039;right&#039;&quot; insofar as it reflects the hero&#039;s &quot;intrapsychic conflicts&quot; and regression. The poem depicts &quot;a primal relationship and the primal infidelity.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

This interrogation anticipates modern readings of KnT--the source of the play--as a &quot;demystification of chivalric conduct.&quot; Shakespeare and Fletcher&#039;s reaction to KnT differs radically from Speght&#039;s.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Reconsiders Chaucer&#039;s use of Italian sources and his references to Italy and Italian regions (including Rome), focusing on ways that Italy was a geographical and cultural place of strangeness. Authors such as Chaucer and Gower negotiated tensions between strangeness and familiarity. Edwards comments on Chaucer&#039;s journeys to Italy (including surmises about an early trip in 1368) and considers how the &quot;multiform contexts of literary influences&quot; complement traditional &quot;comparative and intertextual studies&quot; and encourage consideration of how Italian influences were &quot;transmitted in more than one language.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Both Dante and Chaucer make use of the &quot;architectural mnemonic,&quot; Dante in canto 10 of &quot;Purgatorio&quot;; Chaucer, in HF, bk. 1, the painted wall of the Temple of Venus, and bd. 3, the colonnaded hall of Fame&#039;s temple.
