    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Surveys major British and American writers from Chaucer to Dylan Thomas. Praises Chaucer for his lively characterizations and his &quot;variety and vitality&quot; of narration, with particular attention to CT, but including commentary on the poet&#039;s life and major works, interspersed with brief illustrative passages in modern translation. It &quot;might be said,&quot; Untermeyer tells us, &quot;that people did not exist in English literature before Chaucer.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores paradoxes of thematic and structural order in KnT--the &quot;mechanical&quot; ups and downs of Fortune, the narrator&#039;s control, the human order of design and progression, accumulative resonances of Boethian material, and the &quot;logic, justice, and order of the divine&quot; that even Theseus cannot see. The &quot;poem, however, does see all this.&quot; The poem &quot;reveals its order through apparent disorder&quot; so that though Palamon&#039;s &quot;winning Emelye seems to stand as a crowning inadequacy to all that has gone before.&quot; It &quot;renews the line of Thebes . . . and the bond of peace between Thebans and Greeks&quot; . . . . and it &quot;also renews in the divine chain of love the bond between man and woman&quot; that was broken by Theseus&#039;s conquest at the opening of the poem.]]></dcterms:description>

Compares Chaucer&#039;s translation with that of Thomas Watson (a &quot;minor Elizabethan Petrarchan&quot;) and explores the extent to which Chaucer&#039;s version is influenced by common conventions of courtly poetry.]]></dcterms:description>

Argues that Chaucer&#039;s emphasis on time, settings, and inevitability universalizes his presentation of love beyond Boccaccio&#039;s personalized concern, while increased attention to courtliness deepens its ironies. Explores imagery and juxtaposition for the ways they also contribute to the ironic parallels between human and divine love in the poem.]]></dcterms:description>
