    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In the light of medieval &quot;artes poetriae,&quot; rhetoric is perceived as feminine.  Chaucer&#039;s hagiography, courtly romance, and fabliaux demonstrate rhetoric in various modes: as chaste, &quot;pedestal,&quot; and wanton, especially as voiced by the Clerk and the Wife of Bath.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses how Brian Helgeland&#039;s &quot;A Knight&#039;s Tale&quot; and John Madden&#039;s &quot;Shakespeare in Love&quot; &quot;tell us more than they realize&quot;: that Chaucer always stands separate from his fiction and, conversely, that Shakespeare&#039;s &quot;theatrical life&quot; enables us to &quot;easily draw connections between him and his characters.&quot; This difference helps to explain why there are so few screen adaptations of Chaucer&#039;s works.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Bliss surveys the variety of ways that names, naming, and namelessness in romance &quot;contribute to  our understanding&quot; of the genre, focusing on Middle English narratives but also discussing French and Anglo-Norman analogues.  She identifies a number of &quot;naming patterns and tendencies,&quot; uses them to define or clarify generic features of romance, and explores onomastic themes. References to Chaucer&#039;s works recur throughout, with brief sustained commentary on MLT (pp.150-54).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Maintains that the quoted maxim on friendship in Astr is misattributed to classical sources and actually comes from a twelfth-century medical treatise, &quot;Practica brevis,&quot; attributed to Johannes Platearius. While Chaucer may have seen the line in Platearius, he may have read it in an alchemical treatise. Argues that Chaucer&#039;s use of the phrase may indicate the adaptation of dedicatory rhetoric across scientific genres.]]></dcterms:description>

Chapter 1, &quot;Honoring Stories of Illness in Chaucer,&quot; focuses on the poet&#039;s generally oblique references to plague in CT and on instances where &quot;dialogue and storytelling&quot; initiate or engage with the topic of physical or spiritual healing, considering especially the GP Physician, PhyT, Mel, PardPT, KnT, and NPT; also assesses other works]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Although the Merchant&#039;s voice and attitudes are cynical and misogynistic, the &quot;marriage encomium, Justinus&#039;s speeches, and the episode of Pluto and Proserpine&quot; counter them.  Tensions between the narrator and the material of MerT represent &quot;competing views of marriage and interrogate social reality.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Building upon that comparison, offers correctives for how a narrator might be used for old texts in general, and these tales in particular, by arguing that Chaucer&#039;s PhyT is not told by an unreliable narrator, but by Chaucer himself.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Treats the narrator-dreamer of BD as the poem&#039;s &quot;central character&quot; and a device of unity and dramatic irony. The character does not &quot;develop&quot; psychologically, but his polite good nature--comically limited by his ignorance of courtly idiom--enables Chaucer to affirm faith in the &quot;Christian doctrine of endurance&quot; in the face of fortune. The Black Knight does not escape the &quot;inefficacy&quot; of courtly sentiment.]]></dcterms:description>
