    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chapter four (pp. 89-127) treats together Chaucer, Gower, and &quot;Piers Plowman,&quot; presenting Chaucer in his time but arguing that, as an artist, he transcends it.  Introduces Chaucer&#039;s life and offers summary comments on each of his major works, concluding that &quot;With Chaucer, the English language and English literature grew at a bound to full maturity. No other Middle English writer has his skill, his range, his complexity, his large humane outlook.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Critical History of English Literature.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Describes Chaucer as the &quot;brilliant culmination of Middle English literature,&quot; commending his &quot;metrical craftsmanship&quot; in English, his &quot;European consciousness,&quot; and his &quot;relaxed, quizzical attitude that let him contemplate the varieties of human nature with a combination of sympathy, irony, and amusement, together with the good fortune to have opportunities to know men in all ranks of society.&quot; Chapter 4 (&quot;Chaucer, Gower, Piers Plowman&quot;), summarizes and discusses Chaucer&#039;s major works at much greater length than those of Gower and Langland; his innovations, influence, and relative excellence are mentioned elsewhere in this comprehensive literary history.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Focuses on Chaucer&#039;s selection and arrangement of exempla drawn from Jerome&#039;s &quot;Adversus Jovinianum&quot; to argue that Dorigen&#039;s complaint (4.1367-456) is a &quot;carefully shaped and molded passage of rhetoric designed to illuminate the character of Dorigen, the nature of her marriage, and the Franklin&#039;s idea of marriage; and to set the stage, in indecision, for the tale&#039;s two succeeding decisions which convey the &#039;moral&#039;&quot; of FranT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Focuses on the city of Thebes, the Athenian grove, and Theseus&#039;s First Mover speech in KnT to define and explore implications of the &quot;elastic ontology&quot; of KnT. Unlike the city in Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Teseida,&quot; in KnT Thebes is mysteriously whole after having been razed, while the grove is inexplicably razed twice. The unstable hierarchical relationship between Saturn and Jupiter in KnT underlies its concern with human inability to know the contradictions of the universe.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The 29 pilgrims may allude to Becket&#039;s feast day, December 29. The etymology of &quot;Thomas&quot; in Mirk&#039;s &quot;Festial&quot; as &quot;alle mon&quot; corresponds to the representative range of pilgrims and sounds like the Knight&#039;s description.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s changes to the Ovidian version of Hypermnestra in LGW--exchanging the names of Danaus and Aegyptus and then reducing the number of daughters from fifty to one--were not an &quot;error.&quot; Chaucer both indicates that men are not &quot;stably positioned as agents and transactors&quot; and &quot;radically questions the very nature of the exchange of women.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Allusions to the king and Gaunt establish the terminus a quo before the end of 1371, although most of the poem may predate 1371.

Chaucer manipulates &quot;exempla&quot; from Jerome&#039;s &quot;Adversus Jovinianum&quot; to compose a rhetorical complaint dealing with chastity (1367-423), fidelity (1424-41), and honor (1442-56).]]></dcterms:description>
