    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Poetic Love.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Studies the Christian and Platonic underpinnings of romantic love in Renaissance drama and poetry, exploring its roots in courtly traditions, and distinguishing it from love depicted by Augustan, Romantic, and modern writers. A section on Chaucer (pp. 42-56) maintains that Chaucer&#039;s depiction of courtly sentiment advances &quot;Petrarchan &#039;technique&#039;&quot; by testing courtly conventions and human nature &quot;against each other.&quot; KnT demonstrates the success of religious love over &quot;realist&quot; love, while Troilus&#039;s idealism in TC is counterpointed by the practical outlooks of Pandarus, Diomede, and Criseyde. The Marriage Group of CT explores &quot;more complex and mature loves in order to &quot;comment on life&quot;: WBT &quot;symbolizes&quot; the teller&#039;s &quot;deepest need for a man with enough erotic force to love her into beauty&quot;; the envoy of ClT provides &quot;therapeutic irony&quot; to redeem the ludicrous impracticality of the Tale; and in FranT Dorigen and Arveragus &quot;preserve in marriage the freedom and regard of romantic love&quot; while also preserving &quot;marriage itself against romantic dangers.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Not all of Chaucer&#039;s religious tales are alike.  In MLT and ClT, Chaucer &quot;transforms the same basic material into two radically different, though equally valid, varieties of religious poetry.&quot;  A religious romance, MLT &quot;employs great rhetorical flourish,&quot; presents its heroine sympathetically, and celebrates an omnipotent God.  The more austere ClT &quot;frustrates ... interpretation,&quot; keeps emotion &quot;under tight control,&quot; and distances God.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores the connection between animals and poetry, arguing for an emphasis on poetry that describes animals. Maintains that poetry&#039;s openness to experimentation with language mirrors its depiction of a blurred boundary between the human and the animal. Moves from medieval to postmedieval poetry, connecting poetic depictions of animals from Chaucer to contemporary poets. In particular, focuses on animals in NPT to show what these allegorical depictions can convey about literal animals. Argues that NPT troubles this boundary between human and animal through the desire of Chanticleer.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Item not seen. From publisher&#039;s website: &quot;This study argues that the vernacular fable constituted a productive site for negotiating scholastic poetics in late medieval England. On the basis of a close reading&quot; of NPT and ManT, &quot;the book analyses how the concept of textual authority came to be both challenged and vindicated in the face of the growing importance of an empowered vernacular readership. Thus, the fables of John Lydgate and the presentation of Chaucer&#039;s texts in some of the earliest printed editions&quot; of CT &quot;indicate the development of a Chaucerian poetics that was grounded in Chaucer&#039;s own critical reflection on the scholastic account of poetic fiction.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Surveys the relationships between theology and poetry in late-medieval writing, assessing how Robert Grosseteste, the Pearl poet, and Chaucer communicate a proto-humanistic perspective, &quot;characterized by a semi-Pelagian, anthropocentric theology&quot; that is &quot;roughly Ockhamist&quot; and &quot;incarnational.&quot; This theology &quot;affirms human dignity and the sanctity of the human body.&quot; The most secular of the writers considered, Chaucer shows &quot;how theological discourse has been absorbed or internalized&quot; in his narrators. NPT shows that &quot;meaning is in the story and not in the moral tacked onto the text.&quot; PrT and SNT reflect differing views on &quot;caritas,&quot; chastity, and their interrelations. RvT seeks to redefine &quot;caritas,&quot; while PardT challenges the power of theological discourse.]]></dcterms:description>
