    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A popular handbook to dream psychology, dream lore, the history of interpretations of dreams, and dreaming in various cultures, with an entry on Chaucer (pp. 38-40) that comments on his biography and his dream-vision poetry.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Dream of Chaucer: Representation and Reflection in the Early Narratives]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that Chaucer&#039;s dream visions are concerned with both &quot;mimetic representation&quot; (the narrator&#039;s story of his dream) and aesthetic systems.  Chapter 1, &quot;The Practice of Theory,&quot; discusses Chaucer&#039;s study of Latin, Italian, and French writers to determine &quot;the truth value of poetry.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chapter 2 treats the role of the narrator.  Three following chapters on BD, HF, and PF form the core of the book.  BD is initiatory, &quot;the beginnings of Chaucer&#039;s narrative,&quot; in which the narrator through Ovid reaches the definition of subjectivity.  Compared to BD, HF gives &quot;less weight to imagination,&quot; more to &quot;memory as a category of aesthetic speculation.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Problem in BD is the &quot;cause of distraction&quot;; in HF, the origins of dreams.  HF brings Chaucer to a &quot;philosophical dead end,&quot; for &quot;language, including poetry, can be reduced to physical property and...as a thing it is &quot;equivalent to other sounds&quot;; thus, poetry exists authentically.  This conclusion permits Chaucer to treat the &quot;problem of the intellect&quot; in PF.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Dream of Language: Chaucer&#039;s &quot;en son Latin.&quot;]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Contemplates the pains of language change and language death, distinguishing between change and the perception of it; exploring Latinity, vernacularity, and their continuities; and expanding upon the &quot;dream of language&quot; theorized by Giorgio Agamben. Discusses attitudes toward language in the &quot;Hypnerotomachia Polyphili,&quot; Agamben&#039;s focus; in works by Dante, Villon, and Machaut; and in TC, where Chaucer poses Criseyde as an emblem of language&#039;s constant change--a figure of love and loss and of &quot;language&#039;s history as enfolded in a past present.&quot; Comments on dreams in TC and links medieval views of language with the modern notion of rapid &quot;translanguaging.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Dreame of Chaucer: Boethian Consolation or Political Celebration?]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Suggests that as an example of several kinds of prophetic dream described by Macrobius, as an expression of wish fulfillment, and on the authority of Thynne, BD should be called &quot;The Dream of Chaucer.&quot; Argues that the poem was probably recited for the last time in celebration of the ascendancy of Henry IV and that it existed in several versions, the last version dated 1399. Cites to support the date the reference to Gaunt as &quot;seynt John&quot; and an identification of the king of the chess game as Henry.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Dreams in medieval literature are conventionally used for foreshadowing, rarely with psychological implications.  In TC, however, Chaucer combines the prophetic &quot;somnium coeleste&quot; with the psychological &quot;somnium animale&quot; such that neither can be completely rejected; in NPT, he sets the two in opposition with rich comic effect.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Although both were Londoners, Chaucer and Langland did not share a common readership. Chaucer was acknowledged as a founder of a literary tradition; Langland was appropriated less often and more in ideological than aesthetic terms. Ownership of Langland manuscripts was chiefly clerical and provincial; Chaucer manuscripts were chiefly &quot;urban and urbane&quot; and more inclusive of female readers. In the sixteenth century, reception of the two merged briefly in Reformation anti-Catholicism.]]></dcterms:description>
