    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Since the text of the Ellesmere manuscript is highly edited, Hengwrt is superior to it and should be used as the basis for standard editions of CT.  ]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[  Accepting the thesis that Hengwrt is &quot;the earliest extant manuscript,&quot; Blake argues that the Ellesmere ordering of CT was developed from Hengwrt.  He assumes &quot;that the Hg scribe had access to Chaucer&#039;s drafts,&quot; and thus argues that any material not included in Hengwrt (e.g., CYT) should be regarded as spurious until it can be proved genuine.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Looks for evidence that certain medieval writers were aware of the newly emerging &quot;arithmetical mentality.&quot;  Because of his work at the Customs House, Chaucer was much more aware than most writers.  He knew counting boards and algorisms, the ancestor of modern arithmetic.  Gower seems to have known little arithmetic, and Langland seems to have considered it &quot;euil.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Then explicates through close reading how in the last eighteen stanzas of TC (the so-called Epilogue) Chaucer manipulates his narrator, who is &quot;capable of only a simple view of reality,&quot; to achieve an &quot;extraordinarily complex one,&quot; and conveys the paradox that humans can move &quot;towards heaven through human experience.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
