    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores the political, linguistic, and cultural relations between &quot;France&quot; and &quot;England&quot; before the stabilization of the areas&#039; geographical boundaries.

Butterfield focuses on Chaucer as a central case in these reciprocal exchanges and comments on a wide variety of Chaucer&#039;s contemporaries on either side of the Channel, especially Deschamps, Froissart, and Gower.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Focuses on &quot;neighbor theory&quot; and on uses of &quot;neighebor(es)&quot; in CT to argue that the &quot;concept of community in Chaucer is constantly overshadowed by conflicts of interest and the presence of a loving/fearful neighbor.&quot; Assesses MilT as an extended example, where &quot;Chaucer presents neighborly love as an othering device, that not only leads to a crisis of subjecthood, but ultimately exposes the fragility of communal bonds.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Exploring details and multilingual and multidialectical puns and etymologies through a &quot;Proustian lens,&quot; Surber discovers sustained attention to homosexuality in CT. Critical uncertainty about specific meaning in Chaucer enables a queer reading that grafts &quot;the other logos of sexuality&quot; onto the &quot;tree of heterosexual discourse.&quot; Surber reads GP, the tales, and the links between the tales as indicative that the majority of the pilgrims are homosexual. These components of CT disclose Chaucer&#039;s Platonic embrace of homosexuality and celebration of the &quot;first male trio of Gods of Eden, namely God, Adam and Eve.&quot; Surber appends a survey of attitudes toward homosexuality in the ancient world and medieval Church.]]></dcterms:description>
