    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The stanzas known as &quot;The Tongue&quot; in the Findern manuscript use source material from Lydgate&#039;s &quot;Fall of Princes&quot; and Chaucer&#039;s TC to create a coherent poem that is consistent with the manuscript&#039;s broader themes and is indebted to the literary legacy of Charles d&#039;Orleans.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Describes the &quot;functional similarity&quot; between medieval exempla of obedience and WBT and Gower&#039;s Tale of Florent, illustrating the similarity by discussing fair/foul transformation and inversion motifs in various exempla, and arguing that the three-stage pattern of conversion in them is inverted in the Wife&#039;s tale of the rapist knight whose &quot;predicament&quot; is a comic version of the &quot;enforced celibacy of a young religious.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Suggests that Shakespeare&#039;s title, &quot;The Winter&#039;s Tale,&quot; adapts a possessive form associated with Chaucerian narratives--the x&#039;s tale--&quot; and identifies similarities between the play and ManT. Focuses on the works&#039; attention to linguistic register--&quot;linguistic distinctions between people of different types and stations&quot;--and argues that Shakespeare asserts both &quot;similarity to Chaucer&quot; and &quot;independence from him.&quot; Appends a coda on &quot;lemman&quot; and &quot;ladies&quot; in early printings of Chaucer.]]></dcterms:description>
