Unlike Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Teseida,&quot; Anel represents Thebes as a viable urban center even after the siege, while KnT disentangles Theban from Trojan history and re-creates Thebes as a pagan site.

All three Chaucerian texts construct an intimate, subjective, multivalent portrait of Theban history that Lydgate attempts to re-envision in politically utilitarian terms.]]></dcterms:description>

Chapter 3 explores patronage, John of Gaunt, and Thomas of Woodstock; and Chapter 4 assesses the household as a political metaphor in French literature, courtesy books, several romances, and CT (MLT, ClT, Mel).]]></dcterms:description>
