    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Develops an allusion to Chaucer building a &quot;house of Fame&quot; in Gerard Legh&#039;s &quot;Accedence of Armorie&quot; (1562) and combines it with Chaucer&#039;s &quot;connections with&quot; the Inner Temple to suggest that the poet may have written HF &quot;for one of ritualistic functions&quot; of the Inner Temple, perhaps the Christmas Revels. Reads several details, images, and references in the poem in light of this conjecture.]]></dcterms:description>
