    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that the GP description of &quot;Chaucer&#039;s perfect Knight . . . seems carefully constructed to accord with the aims&quot; of a &quot;unified crusade&quot; that was articulated by Philip de Mézières in his proposal to organize an Order of the Passion of Jesus Christ.

Argues that Gower&#039;s tale is more unified than Chaucer&#039;s  and more purely hagiographical; his characterization of the protagonist evokes less pathos than Chaucer&#039;s and lacks Chaucer&#039;s ironies.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines Chaucer&#039;s stanzaic and metrical dexterity in TC, discussing how and with what effects he bridges stanza breaks and how he creates emphasis through repetitions, rhyme pairs, caesuras, enjambment, narratorial disavowals, and shifting of climax within rhyme royal. Acknowledges the role of reading aloud in perceiving such emphases and suggests that &quot;special and pivotal emphasis&quot; resides in the final lines of stanzas, particularly in the metrically stressed syllable that precedes the caesura in final lines.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that &quot;for the sophisticated reader&quot; KnT satirizes the &quot;hallowed institutions of the chivalric tradition and their literary and supposed societal foundations.&quot; While &quot;literal-minded&quot; readers may justifiably find that the Tale &quot;idealizes the faded age of chivalry&quot; and the genre of &quot;metrical romance,&quot; closer attention to Chaucer&#039;s treatment of romance elements reveals deep-seated ambivalence about the romance genre and its underlying ethos, both undercut by recurrent humor in the Tale, communicated through exaggerated epic conventions (in comparison with Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Teseida&quot;) and inconsistent treatment of the courtly code of love. ]]></dcterms:description>
