    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Rejects &quot;unsupported biographical inference&quot; about the lives and personalities of Chaucer and William Langland, arguing that it is illogical to assume that the personae they project in their poetry are autobiographical. Conflation or confusion of the author with the &quot;speaking person&quot; in the work results from conventions of oral delivery and dream vision, and from the irony they produce.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Patristic and scholastic writers condemn flattery as misuse of speech and an activity conducive to fraud. Chaucer&#039;s stricture on flattery initially appears comic, yet it is more direct and explicit than Langland&#039;s harsh condemnation, which Chaucer may have known.
