    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Focuses on the city of Thebes, the Athenian grove, and Theseus&#039;s First Mover speech in KnT to define and explore implications of the &quot;elastic ontology&quot; of KnT. Unlike the city in Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Teseida,&quot; in KnT Thebes is mysteriously whole after having been razed, while the grove is inexplicably razed twice. The unstable hierarchical relationship between Saturn and Jupiter in KnT underlies its concern with human inability to know the contradictions of the universe.]]></dcterms:description>

The power of nature and the &quot;superfluity&quot; of language recur as themes throughout. Chaucer focuses on how nature constrains social hierarchy and sexuality in PF. Sexuality is also a concern in SqT, NPT, and ManT, but each of these Tales also explores the limits and potential of language and signification, deeply inflected by comic awareness that humans are beasts who talk and laugh.]]></dcterms:description>
