    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Although it is uncertain whether Chaucer knew Plutarch&#039;s &quot;Life&quot; of Theseus, in KnT the character is a mixture of the two traditions of the interpretation of Theseus:  an Apollonian rationalist in Statius (the source in Anel) and a fickle lover in Ovid (the source in HF and LGW).  KnT presents an eclectically-based, balanced, morally ambivalent Theseus, which is a mixture of the Statian and Ovidian characters, much in the pattern of Plutarch.]]></dcterms:description>

In PardT, poison--affiliated with Envy and Jealousy and with the devil--serves to darken both the characters and the plot line.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[An extended example of &quot;prosodic criticism,&quot; which comments on several passages of TC (1.1-21, 53-56, 99-133, 981-87, 1016-29; 2.109-47, 190-217, 309-28, 407-28, 443-48; and 3.1198-1211). Gaylord explains how Chaucer&#039;s poetry invites readers to be conscious of form and details, while compelling them to read &quot;backwards&quot; as well as &quot;forwards&quot; as they respond to the dexterous rhyme-royal stanzas, possibilities beyond editorial punctuation, implication, ambiguity, pronoun shift, and other aspects of imagined voices.]]></dcterms:description>
