    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Suggests that &quot;don thyn hood&quot; in TC 3.954 may have the literal meaning of &quot;put on your nightcap&quot; or, more likely, the figurative meaning of &quot;restrain yourself,&quot; the latter drawn from the practice of hooding a hawk.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that not just TC but also Anel has an important function in Henryson&#039;s &quot;Testament.&quot; Echoes of this poem affect judgment of Cresseid and Troilus, and the question of what constitutes &quot;truth,&quot; for lover, narrator, or reader. The notion of &quot;doubleness&quot; in Chaucer&#039;s treatment of the loves of Anelida and Arcite mirrors the amatory and textual doubleness basic to the &quot;Testament.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Includes comments on the scene of encountering marvels in SqT (81ff., esp. 189–95)--among the &quot;many [examples] to choose from&quot; in medieval romance--which produces &quot;wonder and speculation&quot; rather than &quot;fear or terror,&quot; correlating it with parallels in &quot;Piers Plowman,&quot; Dante&#039;s &quot;Divine Comedy,&quot; and &quot;Pearl.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
