Also contrasts the psychological and philosophical limitations of the Monk&#039;s narratives and the Knight&#039;s sophisticated understanding of Boethian fortune that is reflected in his own tale and in his interruption--sophistication that the Host lacks when he agrees with the Knight.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Analyzes the &quot;repeated allusions to the Scholastic concept of a divinely-ordained universal order&quot; in ClT. Shows that such allusions are generally not in Chaucer&#039;s sources, and that they help to characterize the Clerk as a &quot;serious scholar and devout cleric&quot; who, in response to the Wife of Bath&#039;s unorthodoxy, expounds &quot;philosophical and religious views prevalent in fourteenth century England.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Compares other chronological references in CT (especially those that use &quot;prime&quot; and clock time), comments on the progress and speed of the pilgrims, and suggests that, in this instance, Chaucer&#039;s usage is stylistically realistic.]]></dcterms:description>
