    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines how the form and ideology of Thomas Speght&#039;s Renaissance editions of Chaucer contribute to the monumentalization of the man and his works.  Speght&#039;s critical apparatus, his expansion of Chaucer&#039;s corpus, and even the size and title pages of his editions contribute to Chaucer&#039;s preeminent mythical status.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Observes that the glossary of Speght&#039;s 1598 edition of Chaucer&#039;s works lists &quot;yape&quot; for &quot;jape&quot;/&quot;iape,&quot; meaning &quot;trick,&quot; &quot;joke,&quot; or sexual activity, but the 1602 edition does not; historical and contemporary word lists do not include &quot;yape&quot; unless influenced by Speght. Argues that Speght possibly ordered this orthographic change because by the late sixteenth century &quot;jape&quot; was becoming an obscenity.]]></dcterms:description>

Also considers Speght&#039;s treatment of his source, the &quot;significance of the derivation&quot; for the provenance of the manuscript, and the likelihood that Chaucer wrote ABC for Blanche, Duchess of Lancaster.]]></dcterms:description>

Because scribal spelling habits are not uniform, evidence from spelling must be used in conjunction with other codicological evidence.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Spenser&#039;s indebtedness to Chaucer is several times acknowledged in &quot;The Faerie Queene,&quot; but only in a curious, ambiguous way, &quot;reducing rather than elevating Chaucer&#039;s reputation.&quot;  Chaucer, for example, was hardly the poet of &quot;warlike numbers&quot; that Spenser claims.  And Spenser&#039;s completion of SqT is in fact a revision of KnT with a new, Renaissance ideology.  Perhaps Chaucer&#039;s tolerance and skepticism made Spenser quietly rebel against his predecessor, affirming instead the values of the elite class.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Reads Spenser&#039;s  imitation of SqT in &quot;Faerie Queene,&quot; Book IV, in light of MLE, which introduces SqT in early editions. The sequence alters the Squire&#039;s characterization and helps to frame SqT &quot;as the product of an active, metafictional revision.&quot; When viewed together with KnT and Anel, the falcon&#039;s complaint in SqT reveals &quot;a pattern of Chaucerian self-revision that Spenser appropriates to claim his place in a variously national and international tradition.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

In Chaucer, the topos anticipates communal pilgrimage (a Roman Catholic motif); in Spenser, it is prelude to  personal battle (a Reformed motif) that defeats Catholic heresy.]]></dcterms:description>
