    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Parlement of Foules: An Interpretation.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Reads PF as a thematic exploration of Christian love infused with Neoplatonic thought and imagery, and influenced by Cicero, Macrobius, Alain de Lille, John de Meun, and Dante. Demonstrates the poem&#039;s tight verbal structure and its allusiveness, assessing its central themes and images, and discussing the importance of love in Chaucer&#039;s conceptions of social and cosmic order. In PF and its tradition, love is the natural binding force of the universe, even though humans can perceive this only imperfectly.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that Chaucer&#039;s personal experience of the 1386 Parliament influenced his depiction of parliamentary activity in TC (4.141ff.), detailing events of the historical parliament, Chaucer&#039;s likely feelings about it, and changes and additions Chaucer made to his sources in describing the decision of the Trojan parliament to exchange Criseyde for Antenor. Rejects the suggestion that the Revolt of 1381 influenced Chaucer&#039;s depiction, and comments on the dating of TC.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s uses of  parliamentary terminology throughout KnT, but especially in Saturn&#039;s counsel to Venus and in Theseus&#039;s &quot;First Mover&quot; speech,  establish a parallel between divine and human realms, revealing &quot;the abuse of power and authority&quot; in both and effecting a  critical assessment, in turn, of the Ricardian court and of the &quot;norms of English political discourse.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
