While Chaucer&#039;s character echoes the duality of its predecessors, she is not a goddess--&quot;never characterized as a bride or daughter of the Christian God&quot;--but Chaucer uses &quot;Neoplatonic vocabulary . . . to signal that Fame should be understood as having real as well as rhetorical power,&quot; dispersing &quot;tydyngs&quot; in a context that is recognizably &quot;late-fourteenth-century London.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Assesses Ret as a recantatory formulation that asks its reader-confessors for prayer and commemoration--a confession of authorship that promotes &quot;enduring poetic authority.&quot; Addresses the fifteenth-century &quot;pray for Chaucer&quot; tradition and the excision of Ret from editions between the Reformation and the eighteenth century.]]></dcterms:description>
