    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Reflects on reading and responding to &quot;Great Books,&quot; offering appreciative descriptions of samples from Plato, Homer, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, and Melville, and asserting their success in conveying moral philosophy artfully, despite the resistance of many modern readers. Treats KnT, MilT, ClT, FranT, MerT, WBPT, and PardPT, with recurrent attention to gentleness and gentilesse, to the sensibilities of the tale-tellers, and Chaucer&#039;s generosity of spirit.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Discusses psychoanalytic aspects of melancholy and subjectivity in several medieval texts, including BD and PrT. The &quot;logic of identification&quot; in BD signals that &quot;melancholia might be seen as more open-ended than a pathology constantly teetering on the edge of sinfulness,&quot; while PrT &quot;paranoiacally [sic] attributes its repressed aggression towards [the clergeon] onto the Jews rather than ever identifying that aggression as an aspect of its own desire.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that &quot;the nascent art of international relations . . . among England, Scotland, and France, creates a heightened awareness of the connections between literary and political mediation central to the distinct textures of medieval wartime.&quot; Explores examples in literary and historical texts and treats Chaucer as an &quot;emblematic figure&quot; of such mediation in various works, especially KnT, MLT, and TC. A version of Chapter 4, &quot;&#039;Wereyed on every side&#039;: Chaucer&#039;s Troilus and Criseyde and the Logic of Siege Warfare,&quot; was published under the same title in New Medieval Literatures 20 (2020): 74-106.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Focuses on three different approaches to CT, examines the ways that scholars have attempted to avoid ascribing intention to Chaucer, and concludes that &quot;when engaging with Chaucer, critics need to embrace intention as a key generator in the meaning-making activity of interpretation.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explains how George Colvile&#039;s 1556 translation of Boethius&#039;s &quot;Consolatio&quot; is a &quot;medieval throwback,&quot; tracing its marginal explanatory notes to medieval commentary and finding similar commentary &quot;intercalated&quot; with Boethius&#039;s poems, tentatively suggesting that some locutions recall Bo, and showing how &quot;Colvile&#039;s procedures are closer to those of Chaucer than to subsequent English translators of this text,&quot; although his translation is not a &quot;redaction&quot; of Bo, nor did he use it in a systematic way.]]></dcterms:description>

Includes comments on the scene of encountering marvels in SqT (81ff., esp. 189–95)--among the &quot;many [examples] to choose from&quot; in medieval romance--which produces &quot;wonder and speculation&quot; rather than &quot;fear or terror,&quot; correlating it with parallels in &quot;Piers Plowman,&quot; Dante&#039;s &quot;Divine Comedy,&quot; and &quot;Pearl.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
