    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The dramatic Welsh work written in Shakespeare&#039;s time is a unique and important contribution to the Troilus-Cressida tradition.  The author eliminates any elements of plot, theme, or character from his sources (Chaucer&#039;s TC and Henryson&#039;s &quot;Testament of Cresseid&quot;) which might undercut his more tragic, moral, and philosophical focus. ]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Characters are less complex than their English counterparts.  Calcas is the author&#039;s original contribution.  Unlike 16th-century portrayals of her as a shameless harlot, Cresyd is a tragic heroine, a victim of love and war, and a personification of all individuals trapped by circumstances they are too weak to control.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Tracks developments in the theory and practice of personification allegory in medieval literature (especially the &quot;Roman de la Rose,&quot; works by Dante, and works by Chaucer) in relation to optical theory and epistemology. As confidence in the epistemological reliability of vision and language diminishes historically, allegory becomes a less confident genre. According to Akbari, there is a &quot;distinct progression in Chaucer&#039;s use of faculty psychology,&quot; particularly his &quot;use of vision as a metaphor for knowing.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
