    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Characters in ShT use imprecise language such as swearing to obscure the meaning of their actions.  The narrator, who uses similar language, and fails to notice the implications of his tale, resembles the pilgrim of uncertain identity in the Endlink to MLT.  This resemblance strengthens the case for the Bradshaw Shift.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Fifteenth-century scribal additions and changes to manuscripts of CT indicate the &quot;linguistic and stylistic prejudices and attitudes&quot; of scribes and their audiences.  Treats Hengwrt as a base text and explores how changes in Ellesmere, British Library Harley 7334, Bodley 686, and Cambridge University Library Dd.4.24 reflect a tendency to &quot;correct&quot; Chaucer&#039;s meter and increase his colloquialisms, not to make his diction more ornate.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Following an exposition of received biblical history and medieval commentaries in which the Fall and Babel represent declensions from unity and clarity, Fyler addresses Jean&#039;s Roman, Dante&#039;s Commedia, HF, SNT, and CYT intertextually and in the context of those traditions. Dante envisions linguistic redemption; Jean de Meun suggests the imposition of alienating categories on pre-lapsarian plenitude; and Chaucer stages a reenactment of the Fall between SNT and CYT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Tallies Chaucer&#039;s modifications of his sources in ManT, especially the digressions he adds, to show that the &quot;subject of the tale is language.&quot; In his tale, the Manciple &quot;sneers at&quot; people who &quot;can be distracted from empirical reality by language,&quot; much as he ridicules then distracts the Cook in ManP and manipulates his employers in GP.

She reads RvT as a work about the &quot;social nature and uses of linguistic difference&quot; and characterizes the Reeve (as opposed to the Miller) as a man caught in recalcitrant &quot;linguistic localism.&quot; She observes in Mel the &quot;emergence of a new civic discourse in English,&quot; focusing on its use of deliberacioun and arbitracioun.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that Chaucer&#039;s texts engage translation as a political tool. Rom indicates a balance of resistance to France and outreach to its cultural products; Bo can be read as suspicious of royal power during the late Ricardian period; and ClT demonstrates how translation (as in the propagandistic translation of Griselda) can be a means of &quot;consolidating&quot; power.]]></dcterms:description>

Chapter 1 focuses on Richard II, political discourse, and the discourse of courtly love in Gower, Usk, Clanvowe, and Chaucer (TC, LGWP, KnT, FranT).]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chapter 2 considers the Merciless Parliament to be a watershed that changed the discourses of the court and courtliness, documented by chroniclers and here paralleled with political address in Valois France; considers in this light Part 7 of CT, especially MkT and NPT. Chapter 3 explores patronage, John of Gaunt, and Thomas of Woodstock; and Chapter 4 assesses the household as a political metaphor in French literature, courtesy books, several romances, and CT (MLT, ClT, Mel).]]></dcterms:description>
