    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Fifteenth-century English poets &quot;responded&quot; to an evolving &quot;climate of patronage by inventing a new tradition of public and elite poetry&quot; that included the role of poet laureate (although the office was not official until John Dryden&#039;s appointment in 1668). Poets who proclaimed themselves Chaucer&#039;s disciples, particularly John Lydgate, retroactively fashioned Chaucer as England&#039;s first poet laureate, even though Chaucer himself was suspicious of the concept.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Deschamps&#039;s &quot;Ballade&quot; dates from Sir Lewis Clifford&#039;s diplomatic mission to the French court in 1391, when France and England were closer to peace than they had been in almost a decade. Both Chaucer and Deschamps were associated with the Order of the Passion of Jesus Christ, which was dedicated to the restoration of peace among Christian rulers in the West. The poem indicates that, at the very least, &quot;Deschamps was encouraging a poetic dialogue with Geoffrey Chaucer.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Greenwood argues that the Tale is dialogistic and Menippean; a satirical subtext emerges out of the contrast between polysemia and aporia of expressions of feelings, on the one hand, and clarity and factual exposition, on the other.]]></dcterms:description>
