    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[&quot;Alys&quot; and its diminutive &quot;Alisoun&quot; have interesting reverberations.  The rhyme &quot;Alys&quot;/&quot;talys&quot; may link the Wife with &quot;tales&quot; and have a pun indicating love of drink.  &quot;Alisoun&quot; may be a covert pun on &quot;eleison.&quot;  The popularity of the name Alys is ascribed to &quot;la bele Aelis&quot; of early French dance songs.  The Wife likes dancing and knows the &quot;olde daunce.&quot;  The reputation of Alice Perrer, Edward III&#039;s mistress, may have influenced Chaucer&#039;s choice of the name.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Treats prosimetrum as &quot;a unique medieval genre that mixes not only prose and verse but also narrative and lyric,&quot; and studies its implications for theorizations of the lyric mode, particularly the opposition between the Romantic notion of lyrics as expression of individual subjectivities and the medieval idea of a given &quot;song&#039;s unique arrangement&quot; of rhetorical conventions of genre and mode. Links these concerns with the &quot;twelfth-century discovery of self&quot; and explores broad-ranging examples, with recurrent attention to Italian, French, and English writing, including examples from BD and LGWP, with extended explication of Troilus&#039;s Petrarchan song embedded in TC.]]></dcterms:description>
