    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The disparity between Chaucer&#039;s allusion to Lucan in MLT 400-403 and the actual passage in Lucan may be explained by commentaries that Chaucer might have known.  The &quot;Pharsalia&quot; shares thematic parallels with Chaucer&#039;s story, and may reflect his knowledge of contemporary glosses.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that in the LGW account of Lucrece (a tale of enforced copulation), Chaucer uses the word &quot;myght&quot; as a noun, a verb, and a copula to suggest the ultimate triumph of the heroine&#039;s seductive rhetoric. The story is less about rape than about women&#039;s rhetorical power; it is about Tarquinius&#039;s failure as a rhetorician, for which he tries to compensate (but cannot) with physical &quot;myght.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Lydgate&#039;s confrontations with various kinds of &quot;Ovidianism&quot; are epitomized in the silence of Canacee&#039;s child and in Canacee&#039;s own complaint, which via further allusions to Chaucer (TC, HF) poses competing views of fortune and of the value of poetry in representing fortune and history.]]></dcterms:description>

Parametric comparison of Chaucer&#039;s and Lydgate&#039;s verse designs demonstrates Lydgate&#039;s use of a tradition older than Chaucer&#039;s iambic pentameter. Lydgate had only English and French models; Chaucer&#039;s verse design is revolutionary, influenced by Italian forms.]]></dcterms:description>
