An introduction and separate chapters consider TC, The Faerie Queene, Paradise Lost, and The Waste Land.  All of these works reflect interest in transcendant endings and evince some resistence to closure; resulting tensions correlate with the formal tensions between poetry and narrative.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Benson and Andersson&#039;s discussion in &quot;The Literary Context of Chaucer&#039;s Fabliaux&quot; (1971) fails to account for the complexity of folktale derivation.  A tale may have two sets of analogues, one set related through surface structure (detail, character, theme) and the other through deep structure (plot type). Explores the &quot;deep structure&quot; and syllogistic underpinnings of the fabliaux genre by examining similarities and differences among SumT, &quot;Le Vescie a Prestre,&quot; and legendary anecdotes about Til Eulenspiel and Jean de Meun. Focuses on abrupt shift from illusion to reality or recognition as the definitive feature of the genre.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Pity blends the language and structure of amorous and legal complaints.  Legal bills, like &quot;The Bill of Complaint&quot; in the second part of Pity, have a tripartite structure:  address, statement of grievance, and prayer for remedy.  Recognition of this structure shows that &quot;The Bill of Complaint&quot; does not extend to the end of the poem; it also shows that Pity and Cruelty are not &quot;faint and frigid&quot; personifications but active adversaries in legal combat.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Mutual concern with mystical wholeness and unity in Chaucer, Langland, and Malory derives from literary and intellectual tradition rather than from the authors&#039; philosophical acceptance of such an ideal.  The ideal is unattainable in their works, thereby reflecting the nominalistic challenge to Neoplatonic tradition.  Truth is the goal of their protagonists, but the protagonists fail to achieve this goal on earth.]]></dcterms:description>
