    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Medieval Tradition of Thebes : History and Narrative in the OF &quot;Roman de Thèbes,&quot; Boccaccio, Chaucer, and Lydgate]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examines the Chaucerian treatment of Theban matter. Unlike Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Teseida,&quot; Anel represents Thebes as a viable urban center even after the siege, while KnT disentangles Theban from Trojan history and re-creates Thebes as a pagan site. Both texts reinstate Statius&#039;s fatalistic sense of a criminal  Theban identity.]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In addition, TC dramatizes the failure of historical transmission and reception to avert tragedy. All three Chaucerian texts construct an intimate, subjective, multivalent portrait of Theban history that Lydgate attempts to re-envision in politically utilitarian terms.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[By fitting merchants directly into his larger exploration of the relationship of sentence and solaas, Chaucer uses them to test the limits of the satiric form that dominated previous literary discussions of trade. Portraying merchants as consistently unable to separate fruyt from narrative chaff, Chaucer ultimately questions whether merchants can reform themselves and thus challenges the very basis of the satiric form.]]></dcterms:description>
