    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Arcite at Court]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s digression from Boccaccio concerning Arcite&#039;s career at court should be interpreted not biographically but rather in the context of the career of Havelock the Dane.  Both tales show the social stigma of being a page; Arcite&#039;s role emphasizes his subservience to love, and his rise to squire idealizes the Athenian court, where true merit is rewarded.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores how the figure of a drunken man, originating in Boethius&#039;s &quot;Consolation of Philosophy&quot; and &quot;De topicis differentiis,&quot; and used by Chaucer in Arcite&#039;s complaint in KnT, I.1260–67, &quot;blurs the line between universal and particular&quot; and thereby challenges the categories of traditional argumentation. The figure serves as the &quot;syntactical locus of a dynamic exchange between two authoritative axes of knowledge-making [metaphysics and sensory] that strives to situate temporal conditions.&quot; Also comments on the names written in ice in HF.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The bitterest controversy between &quot;ancients&quot; and &quot;moderns&quot; in fourteenth-century medicine concerned the treatment of wounds.  Whereas Boccaccio in &quot;Teseida&quot; aligns his &quot;medici&quot; with the ancients and prolongs Arcita&#039;s death, Chaucer in KnT aligns himself with moderns and makes the death of Arcite more excruciating and immediate.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The traditional reading is that Arcite&#039;s horse pitches him to the ground so that Arcite, falling on his head, has his chest shattered by the saddlebow.  The words &quot;pomel&quot; and &quot;pighte,&quot; however, show that Arcite is not thrown from his horse but is impaled on the saddlebow.]]></dcterms:description>
