    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The French Fetish from Chaucer to Shakespeare]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Traces the &quot;representations of, and responses to&quot; France and Frenchness in BD and Chaucer&#039;s Prioress, the Corpus Christi plays, Caxton&#039;s publishing career, the poetry of Stephen Hawes and John Skelton, and Shakespeare&#039;s history plays. English identity is marked throughout this literature by efforts to &quot;emulate French culture&quot; in conflict with a desire to &quot;articulate a distinctively English voice.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[BD is Chaucer&#039;s meditation on his earlier imitations of French poetry-an English manifesto and a nostalgic elegy. The GP Prioress and PrT reveal a desire to identify with French culture and a simultaneous inability to read cultural codes accurately. Williams also discusses the role of Chaucer in Caxton&#039;s output.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[TC has fifty-six developed lyric passages.  The frequent ballade-like sequences of stanzas in these passages and the rhyme-royal form adapted from the ballade, together with Chaucer&#039;s uses of Machaut&#039;s &quot;Remede de Fortune,&quot; show that TC has an important ancestry in the French &quot;dits amoureux&quot; that incorporated &quot;formes fixes&quot; lyrics.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Friar and the Critics]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Surveys critical commentary and presents an account of the Friar and FrT.  The Friar wants to be deemed a compassionate clergyman, concerned only with correction of sin and perhaps a bit of amusement.  But as he moves from his vehement opening tirade to a disdainful display of learning and final satirical prayer for a wicked summoner, he reveals his hypocrisy, rage, and passion for revenge.]]></dcterms:description>

Bokenham parodies Chaucer&#039;s work, thus reasserting the hagiographical genre that Chaucer undercut, and indirectly critiques Chaucer&#039;s and Gower&#039;s uses of rhetoric for secular purposes.]]></dcterms:description>

The section dedicated to &quot;Applications&quot; of such theory includes commentary in KnT and MilT as &quot;literal&quot; poetry, on NPT as ironic poetry, and on various ways that Chaucer generally &quot;reveals a fundamentally ironic attitude toward spiritual sense poetry.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

The allusions, which engage a &quot;theological controversy well known in Chaucer&#039;s time,&quot; satirize friars&#039; hypocritical claims to apostolic and Pentecostal associations, excoriated by William of St. Amour (&quot;De Periculus&quot;) and others; they help to integrate the fart-wheel scene with the rest of the tale and exemplify how Chaucer creates comedy through learned materials.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The exemplary value of FrT is rendered complex by its setting within the Canterbury fiction and by the angered antagonism between Friar and Summoner. Chaucer places the story &quot;in a human situation . . . to engage our understanding of the way in which the sin of anger, the response to that sin, and the claim for just anger operate in the everyday world.&quot; Misused &quot;narratives of divine anger&quot; lead to &quot;hell.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
