    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Various practices of writing and formatting texts clarify how authors imagined writing and how readers received vernacular texts.  Using models from cultural studies, editorial theory, semiotics, and traditions of medieval commentary, Irvine argues that Chaucer&#039;s dream poems reproduce the metatextual and metalingual consciousness represented by the interplay of text and gloss in a manuscrtipt culture.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The word &quot;boy&quot; occurs infrequently in contexts evocative of demonic connotations when ordinary denotations of the word are not appropriate.  Boys whose actions in CT seem to be supernaturally evil illustrate the possibility that one connotation of &quot;boy&quot; in Middle English may be a literal or metaphysical devil.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In MLT, Chaucer uses the case of Custance&#039;s Latin being understood by Northumbrians - an instance of xenoglossia, more characteristic of the saint&#039;s life genre - to focus on translation in various genres and to make Custance, &quot;subtly active,&quot; an &quot;apt figure of the translator him/herself.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Epithalamia are not always occasioned by human marriages; they do affirm the heavenly benediction and public recognition of marriage and celebrate the cycle of procreation; they contain &quot;fescennine&quot; verses, which poke fun at the bridegroom and ward off danger by acknowledging his potential for weakness; they do not always end with marriage.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses John Shirley&#039;s role in the construction of the canon of Chaucer&#039;s shorter poems, using as test cases three poems attributed to Chaucer by Shirley but not by modern tradition:  &quot;The Chronicle [of Nine Women] Made by Chaucer&quot; (Bodleian Library MS Ashmole 59) and &quot;The Balade of a Reeve&quot; and &quot;The Plowman&#039;s Song&quot; (British Library MS Additional 16165). Modern editors reject the three, seemingly because of muddled details or obscenity.  However, Shirley&#039;s attributions and the relations of the poems to LGW and CT should encourage editors to recognize that the evidence for attributing most of the shorter poems is indeterminate. Includes an edition of each of the three poems.]]></dcterms:description>
