    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Revisionary Retelling: The Metapoetics of Authorship in Medieval England.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores how Marie de France, the &#039;Orfeo&#039; poet, Thomas Chestre, Chaucer, and John Lydgate &quot;tell stories about the possibilities and problems of vernacular retelling . . . [and] imagine and enact a type of authorship--and a type of authority--based in creative revision.&quot; Chapter three argues that Chaucer &quot;depicts his own canon as dependent and unstable in his catalogues of his works [LGWP, MLP, Ret], and thereby takes ownership of the challenges of vernacular authorship and invents himself as an authoritative Middle English writer.&quot; Also addresses FranT as a lay and Chaucer as authority in Lydgate&#039;s Fall of Princes.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Mieszkowski surveys masculine lovers in medieval romance, showing that fainting and passive love &quot;acquired  feminine gender&quot; only after the fourteenth century. Modern discussions of TC that treat Troilus as &quot;feminized&quot; both mistake his role as an idealized lover (not a &quot;result driven&quot; one such as Diomedes) and overlook medieval nuances in the consummation scene.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines Astr as a work on literature that uses the astrolabe to overcome geographical separation between father and son. A narrative of family reunion then writes the son out of the text, while apophasis keeps the son at its center. Also notes how MLT uses the same terminology as Astr.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Two CT manuscripts reveal simplifications of Chaucerian narrative as part of the fifteenth-century reader response valuing sententiousness and formal coherence.  Huntington Library MS 140 includes ClT without its framing references, followed immediately by &quot;Truth.&quot;  The Helmington manuscript abridges Mel, omits the theoretical material in Th-MelL, and eliminates many of the complicating asides and digressions in PardT.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Filios compares the folktale of Griselda with four medieval versions, exploring their adaptations. Boccaccio&#039;s tale is eroticized, with the teller Dioneo disagreeing with the conventional happy ending that reinforces dangerous power relations; Petrarch valorizes both Griselda and her husband, reinforcing dominant power structures; ClT ironically celebrates unruly wives; and Christine de Pisan&#039;s version is a feminist reappropriation in which Griselda&#039;s strength leads to her husband&#039;s reform.]]></dcterms:description>

Chaucer comments on the romance through the inconsistency between the naturalistic verisimilitude of the unlearned Wife and the abundant learning displayed in WBT and WBP.]]></dcterms:description>

The combination of text and picture was a particular success for Caxton, who translated the Dutch stories and printed them with illustrations by the Wynkyn de Worde Master.
