    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Challenges the universal applicability of the &quot;organic&quot; ideal (form equating to content) of New Criticism, arguing that it is applicable to modern novels but not earlier narratives. Explores Chaucer&#039;s and his audience&#039;s &quot;lively consciousness of his illusion-making powers&quot; in CT and especially in TC where &quot;fiction and fact are consistently played off against one another&quot; until the &quot;authentic accents of Geoffrey Chaucer&quot; are heard near the end of the poem.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Reviews medieval ideas of degrees or grades of perfection, particularly as related to virginity as the &quot;highest form of chastity&quot; and marriage, a compromise even when admirable as in FranT. PhyT and SNT, both of which may follow FranT in the order of CT, offer ideals of absolute chastity and chaste marriage respectively, with SNT offering a religious alternative to the Franklin&#039;s secular view of matrimony.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores the range and depth of Chaucer&#039;s familiarity with the &quot;Liber Catonis,&quot; its commentaries and glosses, and the likelihood that he memorized portions as a schoolboy. Identifies verbal echoes of &quot;Catoniana&quot; in Chaucer&#039;s works; then focuses on his &quot;parodic use of Cato&quot; in NPT, MilT, RvT, MerT, and ManT, evincing the &quot;poet&#039;s sophisticated and heterodox attitude towards an ethical authority that all literate men of his time held in high esteem.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Surveys critical opinion about the relation of the palinode in TC to the body of the poem, and then focuses on the characters&#039; various views of love and the narrator&#039;s &quot;ironic mask.&quot; In contrast with the &quot;pragmatic limitations&quot; of Pandarus&#039;s view of love and the &quot;fixed, yet fluctuating&quot; view of Criseyde, tensions between Boethian love and courtly love characterize Troilus&#039;s outlook. These tensions are &quot;resolved in the palinode as it recapitulates the paradoxical patterns or ironic crosscurrents&quot; by which the narrator &quot;structures his implicitly cosmic vision of love.&quot; Written as the author&#039;s Ph.D. dissertation; includes an index.]]></dcterms:description>

Shows that that they should be understood to belong to a &quot;parish fraternity&quot; (i.e., one having no specific craft affiliation), specifically &quot;The Guild of St. Fabian and St. Sebastian, St. Botolph&#039;s Church, Aldersgate.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines HF as a literary satire, a comic send-up of the love vision genre, evident in the naiveté of the narrator and his failure to attain love or information about it. The poem&#039;s &quot;central structural idea&quot; is &quot;comic disillusionment,&quot; underscored by the narrator&#039;s sentimentality, his befuddlement, and the ironic replacement of the &quot;traditional court of Love&quot; by the &quot;palace of Fame and the house of rumor.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
