    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Charts the charactonyms of Lydgate&#039;s &quot;Seige of Thebes&quot; with those used in two analogues, possibly sources--the &quot;Roman de Edipus&quot; and the &quot;Ystoire de Thèbes--comparing them with names and spellings used by Chaucer. When Lydgate departs from Chaucer&#039;s usage, he tends to follow the &quot;Edipus.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that the astronomical conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in TC 3.624-25 does not allude to a specific event in 1385 (by which the central book of the poem has been dated) but to a more &quot;general tradition&quot; of foreboding, thematically appropriate to the impending fall of Troy.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that, modifying poems by Machaut to establish the narrator of BD as a comic, &quot;doctrinaire&quot; servant of love, Chaucer reveals how such a perspective is inadequate to &quot;experience the experience . . . of perfection itself.&quot; The Dreamer learns of the Black Knight&#039;s loss of perfect, &quot;fulfilled love&quot; and is reduced to stunned pity, a complex elegiac move that conveys consolation rather than merely counselling it.

Pays particular attention to Criseyde&#039;s laughter and Chaucer&#039;s admiration of her, the literary history of Diomedes, and Troilus&#039;s subjugation to the paradoxes of love. Reads much of the poem as expressing Chaucer&#039;s own views.]]></dcterms:description>
