    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that, modifying poems by Machaut to establish the narrator of BD as a comic, &quot;doctrinaire&quot; servant of love, Chaucer reveals how such a perspective is inadequate to &quot;experience the experience . . . of perfection itself.&quot; The Dreamer learns of the Black Knight&#039;s loss of perfect, &quot;fulfilled love&quot; and is reduced to stunned pity, a complex elegiac move that conveys consolation rather than merely counselling it.

Compares and contrasts Chaucer&#039;s and Boccaccio&#039;s versions to show how the English poet amplifies Troilus&#039;s and Criseyde&#039;s dependency on Pandarus and on the contingencies of Fortune.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Praises the art and skill of Chaucer&#039;s adaptations of sources and literary conventions in creating TC, comparing and contrasting the plot and characterizations of the work with those of a full range of its &quot;literary progenitors&quot; and exploring Chaucer&#039;s innovative transformations of the style and rhetoric of interpolated songs and letters, his dexterity with atmosphere and character psychology, and his uses of courtly conventions. Pays particular attention to Criseyde&#039;s laughter and Chaucer&#039;s admiration of her, the literary history of Diomedes, and Troilus&#039;s subjugation to the paradoxes of love. Reads much of the poem as expressing Chaucer&#039;s own views.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that, although derived from differing sources, the three parts of PF--the prelude, the garden of love, and the debate--are unified in their presentation of three perspectives on love. Framed as a conventional love vision, the poem juxtaposes a stern, moralistic view of love, an exalted, courtly one, and a natural, &quot;realistic&quot; one. Together, the three provide a gentle &quot;comedy of attitudes&quot; that testifies to the power of love and the inadequacy of any single view of it.]]></dcterms:description>
