    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that &quot;late medieval dream poets viewed writing as a serious means of therapy, capable of healing both psychological and physiological ailments.&quot; Includes discussion of HF where Chaucer combines &quot;performative humor&quot; and &quot;strong sensory imagery&quot; to foster &quot;an ethical reading experience that activates Geffrey&#039;s memory so that he can first recognize and then treat his brainsickness.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Both ClT and Marie de France&#039;s &quot;Fresne&quot; examine the themes of patience and obedience.  Although the descriptions of Griselda and Fresne are strikingly similar, the style and perspective of the tales differ.  In Chaucer&#039;s &quot;lavish and masterful&quot; style, the teller is dominant, while in Marie&#039;s simple and honest style, the reader must participate in the story, reading between the lines to understand all of its implications.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that, modifying poems by Machaut to establish the narrator of BD as a comic, &quot;doctrinaire&quot; servant of love, Chaucer reveals how such a perspective is inadequate to &quot;experience the experience . . . of perfection itself.&quot; The Dreamer learns of the Black Knight&#039;s loss of perfect, &quot;fulfilled love&quot; and is reduced to stunned pity, a complex elegiac move that conveys consolation rather than merely counselling it. Rejects the notion that courtly love necessarily entails adulterous passion.]]></dcterms:description>
