    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Physician&#039;s being &quot;grounded in astronomye,&quot; i.e., astrology, is not a slighting gibe at his abilities.  The publication of Nicholas of Lynn&#039;s &quot;Kalendarium&quot; (ed. Sigmund Eisner, Chaucer Library) offers &quot;convincing evidence that Chaucer intended no satire in his account of the Doctor&#039;s astrological medicine.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that the astronomical conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in TC 3.624-25 does not allude to a specific event in 1385 (by which the central book of the poem has been dated) but to a more &quot;general tradition&quot; of foreboding, thematically appropriate to the impending fall of Troy. Suggests that it is &quot;clear that Book III could have been written in, say, 1380 or even earlier.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Recently computerized astrological tables permit faster and more accurate computation.  Chaucer describes events that took place in 1385, but the unusual planetary configurations would undoubtedly have been predicted before that date; hence one cannot with assurance date the poem on this basis.]]></dcterms:description>

Gauges the kinds and degrees of authority and authenticity perceived by scribes who used such paratexts--evidence of development in the status of vernacular writers as authors. In TC manuscripts, the glosses mark &quot;a speaker performing as an authority&quot;; in CT manuscripts, Chaucer &quot;knows how to play with and for authenticity.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Extrinsic models for twelfth-century audiences of chivalric romances (Duly, Bezzola, Legge) should be complemented by indirect evidence that defines such audiences as literary virtuosos, humanists able to evaluate romances to discover the poet and his aims.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The central question for NPT is not whether it is allegorical or ironic but how it uses allegory and irony to refigure its own past.  This tale was composed for a court audience at the beginning of a new vernacular tradition.  What kind of authority does it extract from the tradition of ecclesiastical exegesis?  Chaucer&#039;s &quot;authority is critical yet profoundly conservative, ironically self-conscious yet deferential to the status quo.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Similar principles seem to govern Chaucer&#039;s hermeneutics, especially in NPT, which focuses on problems of adequate interpretation of and response to texts.]]></dcterms:description>
