    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer &quot;reads Dido as a loveless male narrator of classical stories.&quot;  In HF, Geffrey&#039;s ekphrastic viewing of her enables the author to explore the politics of the gaze; in LGW, Chaucer attempts a less tentative representation of female sexuality, although it is based ultimately in heterosexual binarism.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that ClT, using &quot;distinctively Gowerian terms&quot; such as &quot;corage&quot; and &quot;visage,&quot; is Chaucer&#039;s response to Gower&#039;s perceived challenge at the conclusion of the &quot;Confessio Amantis&quot; for Chaucer &quot;to drop his well-known political reticence and take a personal stand on the sorry state of English political affairs in the last decade of the fourteenth century.&quot; Perceives ClT as turning the table on Gower by pointing to Genius&#039;s advice in Book 7 of the &quot;Confessio&quot; for a king to &quot;shape his face so as to control what it expresses to others&quot; as &quot;inconsistent with Gower&#039;s commitment to plainness and transparency, both ethical and referential&quot; in the education of a king.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Studies a late medieval manuscript, San Marino, Huntington Library, HM 144 (c. 1500), which is a compilation of works chosen for their devotional and/or ethical content. Uses Mel to show how the scribe--by omitting portions of a text and interpolating Latin proverbs and maxims in a larger script, which the Middle English then comments on--directs readers from narrative to ethical emphasis, and preserves a simpler version of the narrative framework.]]></dcterms:description>
