    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The stories in LGW represent a first attempt by Chaucer in a series of framed stories to deal with the relation between experience, authority, and ideal sentiment.  Comparison with their Ovidian sources and close reading reveals that even though Cupid severely limits the &quot;matere&quot; of these stories, the variety of Chaucer&#039;s treatment is remarkable.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s statements in the &quot;Thopas-Melibee&quot; link, which critics have interpreted in at least three different ways, are significant only as a continuation of the Pilgrim Chaucer&#039;s pose of literary innocence.  They serve to indicate a switch from &quot;murthe&quot; to &quot;doctrine,&quot; and are purposely belabored, as is Mel itself.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Interpretive, evaluative, tale-by-tale reading of CT, focusing on how Chaucer&#039;s &quot;mingling&quot; of various styles, tones, genres, conventions, source materials, and world views come together as a unifying perspective that supersedes any one perspective . Considers several tales as pairings (FrT and SumT, Th and Mel, ManT and ParsT), and offers opinions of how and where individual tales succeed or fail, often gauged in light of recurrent themes presented as timeless concerns. The Introduction (pp. 1-53) justifies appreciative criticism, remarks on Chaucer&#039;s other works (especially TC), comments on questions of unity in CT, and praises the vitality and spirituality of GP.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Reading of the &quot;Canterbury Tales.&quot;]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Reads CT as a thematic engagement with the need for humans to pursue spiritual pilgrimage, considering allegorical and symbolic imagery and focusing on charity, &quot;caritas,&quot; and contempt for engagement with the world (&quot;contemptus mundi&quot;). Explores springtime, pilgrimage, and the narrative persona in GP and ParsP, counterpoises the spiritual idealism of KnT with the realism of MilT, and investigates the symbolic values of marriage and worldly activism in MLT, WBPT, ClT, MerT, FranT, and NPT. Treats &quot;ecclesiastical corruption&quot; as a worldly danger in SumT, FrT, and PardPT, and the need for stalwart faith and penance in ShT, PrT, MkT, SNT, and ParsPT. Includes recurrent attention to source material and exegetical commentary on biblical references and echoes.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The cask figure combines religious and sexual symbols in the reference to wine and baptism and to the phallic spout.  These connect to the tale with the fear of impotence and the careless oaths, suggesting that the Reeve misses the hidden religious solution to old age in his own words.]]></dcterms:description>
