    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Morality as a Comic Motif in the Canterbury Tales.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Identifies the &quot;contrast between surface respectability and corrupt motive [as] the keenest source of the comedy&quot; in ShT, and suggests that there is a pun on &quot;cozen&quot; and &quot;cousin.&quot; Explores similar contrasts and other devices in CT that produce comic irony rather instead of moral assertion: suggestive imagery and juxtaposition, the &quot;simplicity&quot; of the CT narrator, &quot;double exposure, first of the pilgrim, then indirectly of the futility of overt moral stricture,&quot; and self-exposing conflicts between sets of pilgrims.]]></dcterms:description>

A section on &quot;Implied Argument: Irony and Ambiguity&quot; includes a reading of PardT 6.728-33 that suggests a &quot;profound idea wells up in this passage--the idea that we cannot conceive of bringing an end to death without at the same time destroying the principle of the life-cycle here symbolized by Mother Earth,&quot; even though Chaucer leaves ambiguous &quot;just who the old man is.&quot; The volume also includes for further study excerpts from LGWP-F (the Balade, 249-69), the end of TC (5.1835-48, 1863-69), and the description of Alysoun in MilT 1.3221-70) .]]></dcterms:description>

Further, in PrT, her &quot;own words . . . convict her of bigotry&quot; and oppose the &quot;authentic mind of the Church.&quot; She is not condemned, however: &quot;rather is the poem&#039;s objective view one of understanding pity for her.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Includes comparison and contrast of Chaucer&#039;s depictions of monks and friars with those of Wycliff and Langland, finding him, generally, to be less strident in his criticism. In an appendix, addresses the presence of references to the &quot;rules of St. Maurus and St. Augustine&quot; in the GP description of the Monk, and also suggests that the Monk may reflect the poet&#039;s knowledge of William Clown.]]></dcterms:description>
