    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Classical Epic Tradition]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Anatomizes the tradition of the classical epic in Western literature, from Homer to Tolstoy and Thomas Mann, tracing the &quot;Alexandrian&quot; mode that originated with Callimachus and his school and runs counter to the more strictly restrained tradition of &quot;pseudo-Homer.&quot; Defines the &quot;English tradition&quot; of classical epic through analysis of Chaucer&#039;s KnT and Milton&#039;s &quot;Paradise Lost&quot; (pp. 339-98), exploring relations of these two epics to their Latin and Italian predecessors, gauging their &quot;Alexandrian&quot; experimentation and stylistic devices, and suggesting that &quot;Celtic&quot; or &quot;British&quot; complexity underlies their characteristic density of &quot;corresponsive numerical balances.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Studies the works of Thomas Walsingham for their importance in the field of late fourteenth-century English &quot;public classical literature,&quot; helping to define this field by focusing on nuances in Walsingham&#039;s treatments of political events in classicized terms, imagery, and allusions, compared with treatments by contemporaneous writers, especially Chaucer. Includes discussion of Chaucer&#039;s Monk and his tale as an ironic commentary on Walsingham, revisions of previously published discussions of MLT and TC in relation to Walsingham&#039;s writing, explorations of the political vocabularies of Anglo-Latin and vernacular writings of the time, and a description of differences between &quot;classisizing&quot; literature and humanism.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Demonstrates the importance and central role of the &quot;clerical proletariat&quot;--i.e., clerics who worked &quot;in liminal spaces between the ecclesiastical and lay worlds&quot;--in the proliferation of late medieval books and literature in English, with primary focus on works of William Langland, Thomas Hoccleve, John Audelay, their various precedents and legacies, and related genres and forms. Attention to Chaucer&#039;s work is generally limited to his &quot;alertness&quot; to issues of clerical employment in GP and characters such as Nicholas in MilT and Jankyn in WBP.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Interprets Griselda of ClT &quot;as the late medieval English Church wedded to a secular power [Walter] that would radically dominate and divest her in the name of reform.&quot; Resists &quot;domineering exegetical acts,&quot; using &quot;literary and feminist biblical-analytical methods&quot; instead, and situating the tale historically. Considers source material to address the tale&#039;s combination of emotional intensity and allegorical valence, and reads the Clerk as a &quot;secular cleric&quot; who &quot;is not worldly enough to profit from the very arrangement he upholds between serviceable clerics and royal power.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
