    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Identifies three aspects of NPT that differ from those found in its analogues (&quot;Roman du Renart&quot; and &quot;Reinhart Fuch&quot;), arguing that Chaunticleer&#039; s belief in dreams, the frugal poverty of the widow, and the limited role of the fox produce a &quot;shifting panoramic view of a sympathetic skepticism&quot; about the human condition rather the &quot;restricted pointedness of an exemplum.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Treats the Pardoner as a &quot;foot-in-the-door salesman&quot; who is confident in his own skills and believes that his &quot;frankness is disarming.&quot; The &quot;agonized sincerity&quot; that George Lyman Kittredge perceived in lines PardT 6.916-18 is not &quot;agonized&quot; but merely apparent, and Pardoner&#039;s silence results from surprise and anger at the force of the Host&#039;s rejoinder.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Traces references to Christian, pagan, courtly, and Boethian love throughout TC, aligning them references to fate, Providence, and Fortune, and arguing that they lead in progressive fashion to the realization that Troilus&#039;s constancy mirrors divine love, even though Fortune is &quot;the way the world goes,&quot; connecting and counterpointing felicity and vanity.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Traces the development of Troilus&#039; character in TC, arguing that he grows from ignorance to wisdom in confronting the &quot;fundamental mystery of the human condition&quot;: his noble, &quot;tragic error . . . is to have tried to love a human being with an ideal spiritual love.&quot; In this light, the poem is an &quot;exemplum of &quot;Boethius&#039; lesson that life within time derives from and reflects the life beyond time&quot;; its &quot;final effect&quot; is a &quot;sense of profound exaltation.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses the &quot;aesthetic status&quot; of RvT, gauging its &quot;crude vulgarity&quot; in relation to its &quot;moral coherence&quot; where social/sexual pretentions are punished commensurately. Argues that Malyne is &quot;notably pathetic,&quot; that the parson is the &quot;evil genius of the tale,&quot; and that assigning the tale to the puritanical Reeve is stylistically and thematically decorous. Comments on contrasts between RvT and MilT as well as the &quot;quarrel&quot; of the tellers.]]></dcterms:description>

Assesses the status of Statius in medieval grammar, rhetoric, and the &quot;Liber Catonianus,&quot; and explores Chaucer&#039;s knowledge of the &quot;Thebaid,&quot; the &quot;Roman a Thèbes,&quot; and the &quot;Achilleid&quot; as evident in details, allusions, and plots in Chaucer&#039;s works.]]></dcterms:description>

In Pope, the word generally lacks negative connotation and the emphasis on sound loses its central importance.]]></dcterms:description>

Argues that the Canon and the Yeoman join the pilgrims after a recent failure to dupe others, that the Yeoman&#039;s opening remarks about the Canon are bitterly ironic, and that Part II mirrors their recent failure.]]></dcterms:description>

Comments on the theme in Dante, Petrarch, and &quot;Le Livre Griseldis,&quot; and argues that ClT sets the Wife&#039;s and Dante&#039;s concepts of gentillesse &quot;against one another,&quot; an aspect of the humor of the Clerk&#039;s envoy.]]></dcterms:description>

Examines questions of plot, detail, and emphasis, and argues that her actions were neither fated nor dependent upon prior decision, that Pandarus&#039;s machinations capitalized on the change in weather, and that Troilus merited her love. Considers the episode in light of courtly love and briefly contrasts aspects of Chaucer&#039;s story with those of Boccaccio&#039;s.]]></dcterms:description>
