    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Discusses the concerns with suffering and pity in BD as aspects of universal nature that binds together everything and thereby makes possible the consolation in the poem for the Black Knight (John of Gaunt), the Dreamer (Chaucer), and the audience. The work artfully mitigates the experience of pain and reflects a Boethian awareness of universal law, which is also evident in TC, and a variation on the theme of experience versus authority.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Probably written before Chaucer knew Boethius well, BD is a courtly poem offering the consolation of art, the solace that one can achieve through &quot;makyng&quot; or listening to poetry.  The alleged Boethian aspects of BD reflect the French complaint-and-comfort poems that Chaucer admired and emulated early in his career.]]></dcterms:description>
