    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Of the characters in FranT, Dorigen is &quot;most fre&quot; in the senses of independence and generosity.  She chooses her own fate (life instead of the suicide characteristic of the scorned woman) and her own lover (her husband instead of the lusty, would-be suitor).  Her nobility of spirit elevates the men around her.]]></dcterms:description>

Warping his own beliefs, Pandarus in his speech redefines or avoids moral issues; duplicitous Diomede thinks like Pandarus, speaks like Troilus; Troilus&#039;s speech is forthright, literal; Criseyde is capable of jokes, mock seriousness, ambiguity, deliberate pretense.]]></dcterms:description>

Thynne&#039;s edition of Chaucer shows how he was appropriated for the crown&#039;s political agenda, while the Devonshire manuscript reflects subversive appropriation.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s PrT allows competing psychoanalytic readings from both feminine and masculine points of view, a conflict that mirrors the competition for predominance between male and female figures embedded within the text.  These readings may be &quot;theorized&quot; by avoiding essentialist interpretations based on Chaucer&#039;s identity and gender.  Perhaps Chaucer&#039;s ambivalence was a response to the debate concerning women&#039;s roles as religious speakers and celebrants in fourteenth-century England.]]></dcterms:description>

Traces features of punning in literary history and the critical history of pun-hunting in Chaucer, showing how MilT is a &quot;medium of recipient poetics&quot; in its deployment of popular forms and verbal dexterity, a poem about the &quot;fantasies&quot; of language and linguistic plenitude.]]></dcterms:description>
