    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Studies the &quot;impact of judicial complaint on the formation of literary practice&quot; in late medieval England, describing the &quot;emergence and development&quot; of the &quot;literature of clamour&quot; and exploring the influence of this literature on the rise of English vernacular writing. Especially in its development within the &quot;ars dictaminis&quot; tradition, complaint literature created a &quot;force-field&quot; that helped shape works by Langland, Gower, Chaucer, Usk, Hoccleve, and others. Considers among Chaucer&#039;s works Anel, Buk, For, Sted, Mars, Pity, Purse, Scogan, and Venus.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Post-Wycliffite writing has a different character from that which preceded it. Writers of the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries, including Chaucer, produced works with this novel character, often defined as heretical. Cole connects Chaucer&#039;s use of the vernacular and his interest in translation to Wycliffism. The prologue to Astr is the primary focus, with some attention to MLE.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Contrasts the climactic love scenes in Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Il Filostrato&quot; and in TC, considering details, omissions, emphases, and narrative perspectives to argue that Chaucer makes the scene &quot;emotionally, and indeed sexually, more intense&quot; without being voyeuristic. Chaucer elicits and forestalls the &quot;moral skepticism&quot; of his audience. His treatment of sex has &quot;extraordinary breadth&quot; and &quot;portrays intense physical intimacy in its noblest and most fulfilling form.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
