    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Violence and all excess reveal the uncontrollable nature of the world Theseus tries to order.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Increased concern with female characters in KnT distinguishes it from traditional epics, and its presentation of women and gender relationships embodies &quot;evolutionary changes&quot; in the romance genre.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer employs ekphrasis (&quot;verbal representation of a visual representation&quot;) in the temples in KnT to comment on the social contexts and cultural production of art. The paintings and sculptures aesthetically justify Theseus&#039;s own authority, but their negativity indicates a power grounded in violence. The phrase &quot;many a floryn&quot; calls attention to the patron&#039;s ability to afford expensive pigment and to the artist&#039;s complicity in glorifying that wealth and concomitant power.]]></dcterms:description>
