    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Non-Dramatic Disunity of the &quot;Merchant&#039;s Tale.&quot;]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Reads MerT as a composite of &quot;various comic attitudes toward lust and marriage,&quot; not as the bitter vituperation of an angry narrator, arguing that the latter, conventional view results from seeking to impose &quot;organic unity&quot; on four &quot;strikingly incongruous&quot; sections of the Tale. Examines the &quot;rhetorical debate on marriage . . . , the courtly romance centering in the garden, the episode of Pluto and Proserpina, and the raucous fabliau episode of the conclusion&quot; for their &quot;exploitation of the comic possibilities inherent in impropriety and incongruity.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Reviews scholarship and corrects mistaken assumptions about medieval tragedy.  The first vernacular writer in Europe to consider himself a tragedian, Chaucer was anticipated by several Latin writers but drew mainly from Boethius.  The tragic falls in MkT come from a variety of reasons.  Lydgate was influenced by Chaucer&#039;s view of tragedy.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Norton Chaucer.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A comprehensive edition of all of Chaucer&#039;s works (without Rom or Equat), with bottom-of-page notes, side-bar glosses, headnotes to the individual works and each part of CT, and a glossary. The text is based on manuscript witnesses and on E. Talbot Donaldson&#039;s edition of 1958, modifying Donaldson&#039;s system of normalizing spelling and redoing its text and apparatus. The &quot;General Introduction&quot; includes discussion of Chaucer&#039;s life, language, and reception, with emphasis on Chaucer as a linguistic and cultural translator and on the importance of his metropolitan and courtly contexts. Headnotes to individual works focus on thematic issues and on sources and analogues. An e-book version features audio readings from the works and an interactive tutorial on reading Chaucer.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Considers WBPT as a &quot;not yet&quot; text, i.e., one that &quot;points to a future resolution&quot; without providing it. Rich in &quot;represented reception&quot; on the pilgrimage and in &quot;contested reception&quot; in manuscript glossing, critical response, and adaptation, the Wife&#039;s materials prompt efforts to resolve unfulfilled comedic potential. Assesses &quot;The Wanton Wife of Bath&quot;--set &quot;outside history&quot;--as a &quot;perfect example of an anagogic reading&quot; of WBPT as a &quot;not yet&quot; text.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores the history and utilities of various forms of notebook, emphasizing their commercial roots and widespread uses, claiming in a brief section that Chaucer, on his 1372/73 trip to Florence, &quot;must have seen&quot; there &quot;how plentiful, and cheap, personal notebooks were,&quot; especially varieties of &quot;zibaldoni, ricordanzi, and libri di famiglia&quot; (all introduced and defined in a preceding section). Further claims that Chaucer&#039;s &quot;book&quot; in HF, 657, is his own notebook, that Jankyn&#039;s &quot;book of wikked wyves&quot; (WBP, 685) is a &quot;zabaldone,&quot; and that Chaucer&#039;s personal use of notebooks must have influenced his writing.]]></dcterms:description>
