    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Reconsiders characterizations of the Dreamer of BD from George Lyman Kittredge (1915) forward, focusing on the Dreamer&#039;s reception of the Man in Black&#039;s song (475-86). Compares aspects of BD--especially the song--with sources and analogues from the dream vision and love complaint traditions and argues that the Dreamer understands the song to be a lament of unrequited love.]]></dcterms:description>

CYPT reflects the poet&#039;s &quot;keen awareness of the ambiguous identity of the Regular Canons.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Contrasts the moral seriousness of MLT with the comic mode of MLP and MLE, arguing that they combine to present the Man of Law as Chaucer&#039;s &quot;ironic portrait&quot; of pedantic, dogmatic, or moralistic readers and critics (perhaps John Gower) who would limit art to narrow didacticism, leaving little room for the entertainment value that he endorses. Includes discussion of the role of Innocent III&#039;s &quot;De Miseria Conditionis Humane&quot; in MLPT and compares MLP with ParsP.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Man of Law, in the telling of his tale, wants to present himself as a fount of knowledge.  In Part I he frequently interrupts the narrative to voice his own comments.  In Part II, as the power of God manifests itself in the trial scene,the interruptions become fewer and shorter.  By the end of Part III, the tale has such an effect on him that he is a changed man.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Man of Law&#039;s Tale and Rome]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[For Chaucer, Rome is an ancient imperial capital, a goal of medieval pilgrimage, and a center of trade--trade in devotions, indulgences, and pardons that allies mercantilism and religion. Such a Roman transaction also involves relics or monuments, and in MLT its most Christian &quot;commodity&quot; is Custance herself, the object of exchange, who becomes &quot;an alternative to devotional images and relics.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Man of Law&#039;s Tale: A Tragedy of Victimization and a Christian Comedy]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses modern &quot;unease&quot; with Chaucer&#039;s &quot;pathetic&quot; tales, focusing on the combination of the &quot;superficially tragic and the slightly comic&quot; aspects of MLT in which the subject matter invites audience sympathy or empathy while the style encourages aesthetic distance. The narrator&#039;s apostrophes, Constance&#039;s passivity, and the happy ending for a poor victim of this &quot;pathetic romance&quot; create contradictions for modern readers that are consistent with medieval distrust of the world (&quot;contemptus mundi&quot;) which views tragic suffering in human life as ultimately comic. An &quot;earlier form&quot; of this essay was published in Italian: &quot;Il &#039;Racconto dell&#039;Uomo di Legge: La Tragedia di una Vittima e la Commedia Cristiana&quot; Strumenti Critici 3 (1969): 195-207.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s primary source for MLT was not Nicholas Trevet&#039;s Chronicles but Gower&#039;s Tale of Constance.  Chaucer found in Gower&#039;s tale a streamlined shape, sharper focus, a greater depth of character, and a heightened moral emphasis.  It was Gower who first realized the suitability of Trevet&#039;s material and who suggested to Chaucer &quot;the directions in which it might be taken.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
