Claims that Chaucer&#039;s narrator is more self-referential and that the plurality of voices of the narrator, along with the characters&#039; voices, results in a growing complexity that problematizes the interpretation of the legend.

Comments on the Black Knight&#039;s tearless sorrow in BD as &quot;paramystical,&quot; and argues that in Chaucer&#039;s works &quot;the Canon&#039;s Yeoman figures most clearly the dark relation between Chaucer&#039;s poetry and the labor of mystical becoming.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Interprets BD as an early example of &quot;illness narrative.&quot; BD&#039;s structuring concern with sickness and healing, centered upon insomnia detached from the courtly discourse of lovesickness, reflects the preoccupations of late medieval natural philosophy and medicine.
