    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Those compelled to abjure the court in 1388, while less well known than the companions of Richard II who faced charges of treason, can be studied collectively as typical members of Richard&#039;s court.  They include an older group, friends of Richard&#039;s father and mother, &quot;more courtiers than warriors&quot;;and a younger group, predominantly masculine and military.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Mikhail Bakhtin&#039;s study of the grotesquerie of medieval folk festivals encourages us to view certain Chaucerian characters in the carnivalesque spirit of absolute comedy:  moral offenders such as Alysoun of MilT escape unscathed; Nicholas is punished only by accident.

Fourteen of the seventeen early copies of the poem make some feature of the initials, often employing &quot;Lombardic&quot; capitals with their religious appropriateness.  The language of the letter forms was one part of the charm of Chaucer&#039;s abecedarian poem.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In KnT, Chaucer questions force as a basis for government. Conquest &quot;dissolves voluntary social bonds&quot; and fails to produce the consent necessary to a good society.

Argues that, in light of the 1382 Statute of Rape, WBT &quot;diagnoses how masculine distinction and privilege underwrite their own impossibility&quot; and how the presentation of desire in WBPT warns &quot;against overvaluing gender difference as an interpretive scheme.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
