    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Interprets Pandarus&#039;s reference to &quot;corones tweyne&quot; (TC 2.1735) as &quot;a highly complex symbol of the two main pillars of mediaeval law and authority--the spiritual and temporal powers of the church and the state,&quot; forbidding Criseyde from killing Troilus by refusing him.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores the epic elements of KnT and its sources, arguing that in placing love at the thematic center of his poem (replacing traditional political concerns), Chaucer was &quot;attempting to make something entirely new&quot; out of his material. By emphasizing the importance and parallels of love and lordship, Chaucer draws attention to &quot;the private as well as public qualities of the noble hero&quot; and the need for internal as well as external order.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that the KnT is &quot;especially suitable for the beginning of the pilgrimage&quot; in CT because it &quot;presents the continual subversion of noble efforts to bring order out of disorder&quot; and because, in comparison with its sources,&quot; it poses a &quot;pagan outlook&quot; rather than Christian consolation.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Describes the &quot;basic historical method&quot; of KnT as consistent with the &quot;contemporary aristocratic chronicle,&quot; showing how Chaucer uses Statius&#039;s &quot;Thebaid&quot; to archaize the plot drawn from Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Teseida&quot; and create a world &quot;believable&quot; for his audience. Especially in Theseus&#039;s First Mover speech the poem &quot;prefigures&quot; Christianity in its ideal of chivalry.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses ManT in light of its sources and analogues to reveal a &quot;tissue of comic devices--of controlled incongruities, of hyperbole, of antiphrasis, of equivocations, allusions, and purposeful distortions&quot; that &quot;produce a parodic version of the romanticized moral fable&quot; such as those found in the &quot;Ovide Moralisé&quot; and Guillaume de Machaut&#039;s &quot;Voir Dit.&quot; In particular Chaucer targeted John Gower&#039;s tale of Phebus and the crow in the &quot;Confessio Amantis.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that the &quot;organization and success&quot; of MilT depends upon the &quot;dramatic irony&quot; of tensions between its courtly and common, sacred and profane, and realistic and fantastic elements, exploring such tensions in the signifying names of the characters, triplet patterning of the male protagonists and &quot;three principal sins,&quot; and several scriptural allusions.]]></dcterms:description>
