    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that post-medieval notions of comedy obscure the relations between sense and sententiousness in Chaucer&#039;s poetry, explaining that Boethian, analogous thinking underlies Chaucer&#039;s art and that Hebraic and Graeco-Roman poetic traditions help to clarify how &quot;sentence&quot; and &quot;solace&quot; are interdependent in Chaucer&#039;s art.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Describes and assesses the presence of the comic mode in English literature, including a discussion (pp. 42-51) of portions of CT (especially MilT, RvT, and WBP) that explores how Chaucer achieves comedy without negating the &quot;seriousness of the pilgrimage itself.&quot; Describes how Chaucer uses irony and ambiguity in his layered narration to leave his perspective &quot;amusingly undetermined.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Compares Chaucer&#039;s satire of courtly love with similar depictions in &quot;Frauendienst&quot; by Ulrich von Lichtenstein, &quot;De Guillaume au Faucon,&quot; and &quot;Flamenca,&quot; all of which reflect awareness of the fading of the courtly ideal and the dissolution of noble privilege in literary authors and audiences. Comments on Ros, PF, the pairing of KnT and MilT, MerT, SqT, and FranT, noting various ironies, intrusions from the fabliau genre, and devices of narrative distancing.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Comic Tales of Chaucer.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Summarizes each of the &quot;comic&quot; tales of CT, with appreciative, inferential, scene-by-scene commentary on techniques of characterization, situations, and enlivening details that make the Tales &quot;amusing.&quot; Essentially farcical, the action of MilT results more from &quot;character and situation&quot; than coincidence; similarly farcical, RvT provides enjoyment via &quot;poetic justice,&quot; opportunism, and &quot;mistakes in the night.&quot; ShT suffers from a &quot;thin plot,&quot; but offers clever talk and an &quot;intellectual&quot; climax. The simple action of NPT is well adorned with &quot;disproportions,&quot; &quot;incongruities,&quot; and &quot;comicalities,&quot; many of which burlesque MkT. The exchange of FrT and SumT succeeds because of balance among farce, satire, ironies, poetic justice, and surprise. MerT combines &quot;cool&quot; irony, &quot;biting&quot; satire, and indirection that produce rich innuendo and drama of character. Also comments on comic elements in Th, CkT, and CYT.]]></dcterms:description>
