    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores ways that Chaucer plays with the &quot;work of makyng&quot; in Adam and Pr–ThL.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[&quot;many a lay and many a thing&quot;: Chaucer&#039;s Technical Terms.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Proposes that Chaucer&#039;s commitment to &quot;technical experiment&quot; in fixed-form verse is marked by skepticism and ambivalence in comparison to classical and contemporary European models. Several of Chaucer&#039;s poems--BD, LGW, PF, and TC--reveal a concern with &quot;techne&quot; that is unprecedented in English rhymed verse, but this is destabilized by an eclecticism and hybridity that skews toward unclassifiable forms. For Chaucer, &quot;technical precision&quot; is often at odds with emotional authenticity.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Suggests that the insertion of &quot;prolaciouns&quot; in Bo 2.pr.1 was intended as a technical clarification of the preceding &quot;moedes,&quot; potentially misleading to English readers who could read it as either &quot;mood&quot; or &quot;mode.&quot; The insertion may evince the musical sophistication of Chaucer or, perhaps, of the English author of a translation pony Chaucer may have used.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Reads ClT closely as a &quot;fundamentally enigmatic parable&quot; that, as part of the &quot;glossing group&quot; of the CT, focuses on interpretation and hermeneutic resistance. Chaucer alternately abbreviates and amplifies his Petrarchan source &quot;so that interpretive authority . . . will lie dormant and enigma will thrive.&quot; Simultaneously, the Clerk seeks subtly to mandate clerkly glossing in a &quot;passive-aggressive&quot; response to the Wife of Bath, emphasizing Griselda&#039;s inability and/or unwillingness to interpret words and events.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Considers the shift in &quot;social and rhetorical roles&quot; of Cecilia in SNT--from sweet wife to ardent polemical martyr--and argues that both are consistent with views of female speech in pastoral literature, particularly confessional manuals and hagiography.
