    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Literature of Unlikeness]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[&quot;Unlikeness&quot; refers to the &quot;coherence and contradictions&quot; in the conviction encouraged by D. W. Robertson that &quot;the characteristic mode of reading and writing in the Middle Ages was quite different from ours and that it assumes an underlying coherence of outlook so little questioned as to allow for multiple forms of surface contradiction that confirm rather than confute the principle of coherence.&quot; Dahlberg examines the concept in Augustine, Boethius, Chaucer,Dionysius the Areopagite, Alanus de Insulis, Andreas Capellanus, Chretien de Troyes, the &quot;Roman de la Rose,&quot; Malory, and others.  In chapter 1, Dahlberg explains that the term &quot;land of unlikeness&quot; originates in Augustine&#039;s &quot;Confessions&quot; and refers to the hierarchical, dichotomized vision that accounts for the medieval ability to see an object both in &quot;bono&quot; and in &quot;malo,&quot; as derived from the dualism of Manichaeism. The opposition of good and evil is illusory in Augustine&#039;s theory of evil as exclusive contraries.&quot;  In Ret, Chaucer faces the dilemma of &quot;likeness in the land of unlikeness,&quot; which exercised both Augustine and Boethius.  Influence of this idea appears in Truth, For, Form Age, Sted, and Rom and in the stylistic indirection characteristic of Chaucer&#039;s writing, as well as in versification, specifically in rhyme royal. For an essay that pertains to Chaucer, search for  Literature of Unlikeness under Alternative Title.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Though aspects of ManT seem hopelessly irreconcilable, the tale itself is a coherent whole, its incongruities intentional.  While the Manciple cunningly pretends to be a fool, he is, in a different sense, a far greater fool than he pretends to be.  By effectively portraying a protagonist who deliberately deceives his immediate audience while remaining self-deceived, Chaucer achieves the subtly ironic Christian comedy that characterizes the best work in CT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Presents a &quot;new way to conjoin Chaucer&#039;s sophisticated engagement with philosophical thought and his obvious focus on amatory concerns&quot; in CT, arguing that the narrative &quot;authoritatively abandons authority&quot;--a paradox that recalls logical &quot;insolubilia,&quot; connects with the &quot;philosophical antinomy of realism and nominalism,&quot; and engages the Christian incarnational fusion of creator and created. Neither ironic nor inconsistent, the rigorously logical CT--insoluble rather than enigmatic or analogical--asserts the paradox of love, depicts efforts to accept or resolve paradox in each of the tales, and enjoins readers to accept paradox without judgment or resolution, leaving Chaucer&#039;s &quot;ultimate intention undecidable.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
