    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer initially uses &quot;worthy&quot; for the Knight in GP with clear denotative meaning, but by the word&#039;s final appearance its meaning becomes ambiguous.  The Knight is not being criticized; rather, the semantic degeneration of &quot;worthy&quot; indicates a corresponding degeneration of the chivalric ideal.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s changes to Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Teseida&quot; in KnT introduce a concern with Cathar heresy. Until Theseus&#039;s final speech, the plot reflects cosmic dualism (Saturn and Jupiter), determinism, and pervasive sterility and evil. The poem is also touched by &quot;Inquisitorial language,&quot; and its recurrences of temple, endure, and Thrace align with Cathar concerns.]]></dcterms:description>
