    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses Chaucer&#039;s uses of Boccaccio and Boethius as source material in KnT, addressing the omission of Arcite&#039;s apotheosis and the subordination of the pagan gods to providential order. Focuses on Palamon&#039;s and Arcite&#039;s prayers and Theseus&#039; final speech, arguing that the plot traces the characters&#039; progress to learning that humans must submit to the &quot;law of love.&quot; For a response, see William A. Madden, College English 20 (1959):193-94.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores paradoxes of thematic and structural order in KnT--the &quot;mechanical&quot; ups and downs of Fortune, the narrator&#039;s control, the human order of design and progression, accumulative resonances of Boethian material, and the &quot;logic, justice, and order of the divine&quot; that even Theseus cannot see. The &quot;poem, however, does see all this.&quot; The poem &quot;reveals its order through apparent disorder&quot; so that though Palamon&#039;s &quot;winning Emelye seems to stand as a crowning inadequacy to all that has gone before.&quot; It &quot;renews the line of Thebes . . . and the bond of peace between Thebans and Greeks&quot; . . . . and it &quot;also renews in the divine chain of love the bond between man and woman&quot; that was broken by Theseus&#039;s conquest at the opening of the poem.]]></dcterms:description>
