The editors&#039; introduction surveys the critical context of the topics and comments on Chaucer as the only major Middle English writer who is &quot;routinely allowed some genuine erotic feeling,&quot; perhaps because he acknowledges tacitly and otherwise the inherent violence of sex.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Ethical Poetic of the Later Middle Ages: A Decorum of Convenient Distinction]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Medieval literary commentators uniformly assigned &quot;literary works&quot; to the category of ethics:  poetry served as a kind of &quot;enacted ethics&quot; for the medieval audience.  The commentators define and describe this material in terms of the &quot;forma tractandi&quot; (usually a &quot;normative array&quot; of socially accepted ethical principles) and the &quot;forma tractatus&quot; (the ways in which a text might be divided).]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[CT have as their central ordering principle a normative array of tales that mainly deal with the theme of marriage.  Chaucer&#039;s interest in revising LGW was related to his concern with the &quot;philosophy of poetic language.&quot;  It is a &quot;poem about making poems.&quot;  MilT is briefly described in terms of &quot;consideratio&quot; in comedy--the laughter acts as an assent to the normative.  In PardT, Chaucer fully &quot;exploits the power of the folktale atmosphere.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Throughout the volume, Conrad comments on Chaucer&#039;s reception and influence.]]></dcterms:description>
