    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A framework for the function of the medieval world of learning in NPT can be found in the scheme of the Seven Liberal Arts (grammar, rhetoric, dialectic, astrology, arithmetic, geometry, and music).  Although arithmetic and geometry are too abstract to be considered here, the other five merit exploration, with dialectic being the most important for a study of Chaucer&#039;s intention.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s tragedies, e.g. TC, are too complicated to allow easy categorization; likewise, his comedy.  The first English author known to use the term, Chaucer uses &quot;tragedy&quot; to establish commonality between TC and MkT, both of which relate to Bo, where the term also appears. Chaucer&#039;s only use of &quot;comedy&quot; in TC is also the first use of the term in English.]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Kaylor examines structural and thematic relationships between MkT and NPT.  MkT illustrates tragic reversals in fortune; NPT, a comic reversal.  When MkT is interrupted, the Knight and the Host call not for a comedy but for something to make the heart glad.]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Looking back toward tragedy, NPT is defined as an antitragedy or a burlesque tragedy.  Both TC and NPT are infused with Boethian influence, the image of Fortune&#039;s wheel giving shape to both.  Dante&#039;s &quot;Comedia&quot; provides a reference point for both TC and NPT.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Through his sexual ambiguity and his exposure of the illusory nature of social hierarchy, the Pardoner is a &quot;double threat.&quot;  Through him, Chaucer &quot;provisionally negates&quot; the model of the three estates and also &quot;demonstrates, through the fates of the three men and the Pardoner himself, the gratuitous but deeply satisfying destruction of those who depart from the order it dictates.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
