    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that Shakespeare and John Fletcher&#039;s adaptation of KnT in &quot;The Two Noble Kinsmen&quot; emphasizes the failure of same-sex friendship, darkens tone, and approaches tragic pessimism--in contrast with Chaucer&#039;s &quot;cautiously optimistic philosophical romance.&quot; Compares aspects of the play with KnT--particularly details pertaining to flower imagery and same-sex friendship in tension with erotic, procreative love--and assesses the anxious depiction of Chaucer and literary paternity in the prologue to &quot;The Two Noble Kinsmen.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Focuses on Criseyde&#039;s two oaths of fidelity in TC (3.1493-1502 and 4.1549-54) for the way that they allusively engage Ovidian narratives; counter the linear temporality of epic; affirm Criseyde&#039;s sincerity and &quot;bold idealism&quot;; and compel readers to resist reductive, deterministic reading. Also explores other devices in the poem (especially references to Oenone) that suspend temporality and foreground &quot;alternative narratives of past texts in order to examine the force of Criseyde&#039;s intent to be true.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Themes of &quot;trouthe&quot; and &quot;gentillesse,&quot; as well as the threat of suicide, in the SqT falcon episode (5.409-631) anticipate major themes of FranT. Because SqT is prior in the narrative sequence, the human language of FranT parodies avian language rather than vice versa. The falcon episode is a &quot;foil&quot; for Dorigen&#039;s complaint (5.1355-1456).]]></dcterms:description>
