    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that &quot;for the sophisticated reader&quot; KnT satirizes the &quot;hallowed institutions of the chivalric tradition and their literary and supposed societal foundations.&quot; While &quot;literal-minded&quot; readers may justifiably find that the Tale &quot;idealizes the faded age of chivalry&quot; and the genre of &quot;metrical romance,&quot; closer attention to Chaucer&#039;s treatment of romance elements reveals deep-seated ambivalence about the romance genre and its underlying ethos, both undercut by recurrent humor in the Tale, communicated through exaggerated epic conventions (in comparison with Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Teseida&quot;) and inconsistent treatment of the courtly code of love. ]]></dcterms:description>
