    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The description of the Friar, the tone of his remarks and his tale, and the response of the Summoner are couched in ambiguities.  These are clarified if we are aware of the implicit context in which he operates:  a social hierarchy, based on ecclesiastical hierarchy, assumes that friars are superior to summoners.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The century between Dante and Boccaccio saw the poet&#039;s role as prophet deteriorate.  Boccaccio and Chaucer found a middle road between blasphemy and reverence wherein language has its own independent set of standards, as one sees in comparing the tale of Fra Cipolla and SumT.  Nominalism (Ockham) brought into question the relationship between language and reality.  The poet could no longer play the role of prophet.]]></dcterms:description>
