    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The calming of an &quot;urban rabble&quot; in Aeneid 1.148-56 was a topos in reports and rumors that surrounded the uprising of 1381 and in reports of similar conflicts at Lynn and London in 1377. Baswell explores the &quot;anxieties, hopes, and tensions&quot; of the medieval uprisings and examines their relationships with conceptual analogues in rememberings of Troy, Carthage, and Rome. NPT links the uprising with these cities briefly and provocatively, and memories of it haunt late-medieval English versions of the Aeneas story.]]></dcterms:description>
