    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The glosses to Mel and ParsT in Wynkyn de Worde&#039;s CT (1498, STC 5085) are closely related to those in Trinity College, Cambridge, MS R.3.15, suggesting that they shared a common exemplar, W. That hypothetical exemplar clarifies aspects of the history of the text at the beginning of the fifteenth century, almost a century before the production of de Worde&#039;s version.]]></dcterms:description>

Instead, de Worde seems to have used an independent ms descended from Hengwrt for part of PrT and all of Th, Mel, and MkT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The three anonymous stanzas that Wynkyn printed at the end of his 1517 edition of the poem suggest that neither the sympathy for Criseyde felt by moderns nor the poet&#039;s view of TC as a religious work would have been found in an early reader.  Wynkyn gives the antifeminist moral that Chaucer&#039;s narrator avoided.]]></dcterms:description>

Other works considered at length are John Heywood&#039;s Play of the Weather, Sir Thomas Elyot&#039;s Book Named the Governor, and works of Sir Thomas Wyatt and Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey.]]></dcterms:description>
