You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Anelida and Arcite Manuscript10.jpg|thumb|A page from [[William Caxton]]'s edition of ''Anelida and Arcite'', dated 1477]]
'''''Anelida and Arcite''''' is a 357-line English poem by [[Geoffrey Chaucer]]. It tells the story of Anelida, queen of [[Armenia]] and her wooing by false Arcite from [[Thebes, Greece]].<ref>((Cite journal|title="Anelida and Arcite": A Narrative of Complaint and Comfort|jstor=25093138 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/25093138|last1=Wimsatt |first1=James I. |journal=The Chaucer Review |year=1970 |volume=5 |issue=1 |pages=1–8 ))</ref>

Although relatively short, it is a poem with a complex structure, with an invocation and then the main story.  The story is made up of an introduction and a complaint by Anelida which is in turn made up of a [[Preface|proem]], a [[strophe]], [[antistrophe]] and a conclusion.  After the complaint there are a few lines which continue the story, but these may have been added by a later scribe.  Like many of Chaucer's works it ends abruptly, and may be unfinished.  The date of the poem's composition is not known but it is often placed in the late 1370s.  The poem is never mentioned by Chaucer himself but scholars do not usually doubt his authorship. It is attributed to him in three manuscripts and by the poet [[John Lydgate]].

The poem uses some of elements of the ''[[Teseida]]'' of [[Giovanni Boccaccio|Boccaccio]], and the ''[[Thebaid]]'' of the Roman poet [[Statius]],  works which Chaucer would use again as a basis for ''[[The Knight's Tale]]''.  This influence of [[Italian literature]] is a point of transition from Chaucer's earlier works which were mainly influenced by [[French poetry]].  The poem itself is a rather ungainly mixture of the two traditions, with an epic invocation typical of Italian poetry giving way to a much less epic story, more French in character.  Despite these jarring styles, the part of the work which forms Anelida's complaint is one of the most highly regarded uses of the "lover's-complaint" motif.  Chaucer wrote several other short poems in the complaint genre such as ''The Complaint unto Pity'' and ''The Complaint of Venus'', and this may have been an unsuccessful attempt on Chaucer's part to extend the form into a much longer poem.<ref>((Cite book|title=Anelida and Arcite| isbn=9781727434620 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IIXTvAEACAAJ| last1=Chaucer | first1=Geoffrey | date=17 September 2018 ))</ref>
