    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Chaucer: A European Life.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Provides a critical biography of Chaucer that tells &quot;the story of his life and his poetry through places and spaces, rather than through strict chronology,&quot; with a &quot;General Prologue,&quot; an &quot;Epilogue,&quot; and twenty chapters pertaining to, for example, the Vintry Ward, Lancaster, Parliament, the Inn, the Cage, Peripheries, and the Threshold. Emphasizes Chaucer&#039;s physical, emotional, and intellectual movements among such spaces, and how he emerged &quot;as the confident innovator&quot; of the CT. Uses archival sources, critical theory, and scholarly criticism, to trace in Chaucer&#039;s life and works a sustained &quot;interest in subjection, mediation, and identity.&quot; The volume includes an extensive bibliography of primary and secondary sources and a comprehensive index.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Wards and Widows: &quot;Troilus and Criseyde&quot; and New Documents on Chaucer&#039;s Life]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Introduces four previously unknown documents, including a Chaucer life record connected to his guardianship of Michael Staplegate, which offer new perspectives on Chaucer&#039;s life and poetry. Implies that Chaucer&#039;s wardship of Staplegate extended as late as 1382, creating a new context for Cecily Chaumpaigne&#039;s 1380 charge of raptus against Chaucer; suggests that the dispute may have been the result of Chaucer&#039;s matchmaking efforts for Staplegate. These documents also open a new interpretation of TC, which was composed during or after the time of the events in the documents. Argues that Chaucer&#039;s experience as guardian, and possible matchmaker, creates new implications for TC&#039;s treatment of widowhood, wardship, marriage, and the character of Pandarus. Includes new evidence on Chaucer&#039;s relationship with John Gower and with London lawyer Richard Forster.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Outlines the &quot;critical myth&quot; that Chaucer, despite his assumed or constructed urbanity, lived in an age that was less sophisticated than the critic&#039;s own. Interrogates the history of this myth, exploring progressivist and devolutionary biases in individual studies, and arguing that biases and questionable assumptions underlie the selectivity and arrangement of the information in Caroline Spurgeon&#039;s &quot;Five Hundred Years of Chaucer Criticism and Allusion&quot; and in its index, compiled by Arundell Esdaile.]]></dcterms:description>

Then explores how this description more accurately describes Chaucer&#039;s &quot;metrical template&quot; than does &quot;iambic pentameter,&quot; arguing that Chaucer&#039;s innovative verse form was influenced by French and Italian &quot;isosyllabic&quot; models.]]></dcterms:description>

Identifies Chaucer&#039;s metrical influences and provides examples throughout. Includes comments on the French dialect and metrics of the so-called &quot;Poems of Ch.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
