    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Sartorial Signs in Troilus and Criseyde]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer employs &quot;costume signs&quot; in TC, affecting plot and characterization. Signature costumes assigned to each character shed light on significant parts of the plot, as do the reversal and degeneration of costume patterns. Characterization through costume is one of Chaucer&#039;s artistic methods.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Studies clothing in imaginative literature, arguing that writers of romances redirect the negative depictions of the courtly body found in clerical chronicles and penitential writings into positive images that convey virtue. While religious and political documents decried the immorality inherent in sumptuous clothing and attempted to restrain the behavior of individuals wearing stylish garments, writers (including Marie de France, Heldris of Cornuälle, the &quot;Gawain&quot;-poet, and Chaucer) reimagine fashion-savvy aristocrats as models of morally sound behavior in a pedagogical program advanced not by preachers but by poets.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The satiric fable, with oral origins among the Orientals and Greeks, is usually characterized by economy, light-heartedness, and singleness of impression.  The popularity of the genre continued into the Middle Ages and beyond not only because of its beguiling literal surface but also because it was a safe allegorical vehicle for social and political criticism.]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In Chaucer&#039;s NPT (Chapter 3), the Nun&#039;s Priest serves as a mouthpiece for Chaucer, who can speak equivocally and yet disavow responsibility for his words.  Although the cock and hen are convincing both as birds and as representatives of the human race, the tale in its mock heroics overleaps the boundaries between human truth and beast fiction.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Traces the evolution of the romance to the start of the sixteenth century, and its repositioning from an aristocratic genre to one that was embraced by the common audience. Claims this move marks a shift from violence in its early stages to one of &quot;gift-giving&quot; as the romance evolved to its form by the year 1500. Although well-known contemporary examples of romance are considered, the study focuses on KnT and Sir Gawain. References CYT, FranT, MilT, ShT, SqT, Th, and WBT.]]></dcterms:description>
