    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that TC is largely concerned with &quot;certitude and volition as they pertain to human perception and judgment&quot; and as they relate to late medieval philosophical discussions of divine omnipotence and divine self-limitation. Troilus, Pandarus, and Criseyde represent &quot;disparate accounts of the perceiving soul and differing philosophies of truth that exist in counterpoint&quot; - Troilus as traditional perspectivism, Pandarus as self-interested valuation, and Criseyde as a kind of voluntarism that views knowledge as limited and intention as important. Hill introduces the poem with a summary of fourteenth-century debates on epistemology, voluntarism, and the power of God.]]></dcterms:description>

Problems addressed include &quot;misinterpretation by authors and misconception by perceivers; varieties of audience response;the internal dialogues by which a society reshapes its values, language, and gender; the instability and failure of signs; the implications of silence; and language as both fallen and redeemable.&quot; For seven essays that pertain to Chaucer, search for Sign, Sentence, Discourse under Alternative Title.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[NPT reveals &quot;the dangerous nature of signs&quot; and offers a view of signification that looks forward to Derrida.  The many oppositions foregrounded in the poem (truth/fiction, &quot;confusio&quot;/&quot;blis,&quot; predestination/free will, etc.) point to the inscription of signifer/signified in a preexisting linguistic system.  Although Christian ontology specifies a transcendental signified, some aspects of medieval sign theory anticipate recent refusals to privilege either side of the dichotomy.]]></dcterms:description>
