    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The dream-frame (&quot;envelope&quot;) of PF reveals Chaucer&#039;s struggling with the problems of poetic composition, particularly of fusing form and context.  The poem&#039;s unity is a function of the narrator&#039;s stance, more divorced from the poem&#039;s subject (Love) than in BD, but not as totally distanced as the historian/redactor of TC.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Shows that Shakespeare&#039;s &quot;Taming of the Shrew&quot; and the anonymous &quot;Taming of a Shrew&quot; feature skeptical parody of Stoic certainty about distinguishing reality from illusion or dream. As in HF, the &quot;framing fictions&quot; of the plays &quot;make a show&quot; of controlling uncertainty and reveal the skeptical &quot;circularity&quot; of any &quot;dogmatic quest for authoritative certainty.&quot; Assesses how &quot;[s]cenes problematizing authoritative instruction proliferate&quot; throughout HF and the plays and, in the latter, destabilize antifeminist certainties.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A variety of ethical systems--Christian, Boethian, Epicurean, Ciceronian, etc.--were available to Chaucer&#039;s audience, and he engages these systems in ways that enable the audience to observe and choose among them. Like commentators on Epicurean thought, Chaucer cites Epicurus (in the Franklin&#039;s description in GP) to provoke his audience to ethical consideration.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s somewhat unusual association of his Franklin with food may reflect the frequent migration of the Exchequer from Westminster to York and the prioritizing of the York food trade as a result.
