Sanctity and pornography in medieval culture exposes the complexity of bodily exposure in medieval devotion and contemporary pornographic cultures. Through readings of texts and images, sacred and profane, from premodern

The concepts that defined nobility are explored. (LMG)

Jaeger reviews reception of his book The Origins of Courtliness (1985), and surveys research into courtly culture. He discusses the inspiration for his book, its influence, the challenges it has received, and what he has learned

from scholars’ subsequent work; he also points out where further study is desirable. The problem of the relationship of chivalric and courtly life to literature receives special consideration throughout. Jaeger firmly states his position in response to one aspect of criticism: “I want to say as clearly as I can that neither Origins of Courtliness, nor anything else I have written, aims to locate an origin of a civilizing process in Ottonian Germany, or anywhere else. Origins is a history of the language and the values of courtliness, and it seeks to demonstrate that Ottonian Germany is a significant station in that history (p. 190). (LMG)

GB145. LÉGLU, Catherine, “Cambra: Desire and Place in Troubadour Poetry and Medieval Catalan Narrative.” Exemplaria, 22.4 (2010): 285-304.

Giorgio Agamben contends that the medieval lyric stanza constructs a privileged space for the construction of the self through language, as well as for the exploration of the fear of death that subtends such a construction. Troubadour poetry deploys the cambra (chamber) as a place for exploring erotic tensions between enclosure and communication. Arnaut Daniel’s sestina and related poems give rise to narratives that explore the cambra as a site of love and loss. Two Catalan narratives (a nova and the romance Curial e Guelfa) use the cambra to explore divergent readings of the motif. The troubadour cambra and its Catalan reception is explored in terms of place and gender. (CL)

GB146. LEVINE, Peter. Reforming the Humanities: Literature and Ethics from Dante through Modern Times. Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan, 2010.

A full and fresh look at Inferno V, with a philosophical focus on literary narratives in general as sources of moral insight. The volume examines two ways of thinking and judging Francesca: in a ‘literary’ way by means of a narrative that is subtle and carefully constructed or on the basis of general principles. The purpose is explicitly ethical: to investigate the methods we should use to make moral judgements by introducing particularism, the theory which asserts that we must make moral judgements about whole situations and not in terms of general principles, by considering both the advantages and disadvantages of narrative, and by combining particularism with historicism.

Extended scenes of loss and mourning are key innovations in John Gower’s “Tale of Apollonius of Tyre.” Judith Butler’s ideas concerning loss and identity illuminate the ways in which loss and its commemoration constitute the family by suggesting certain modes of grief are recognizable and certain losses are mournable by society.

What do stories about animals have to tell us about human beings? This book analyses the shrewd perceptions about human life–and especially human language–that emerge from narratives in which the main figures are ‘talking animals’. Its guiding question is not ‘what’ but ‘how’ animals mean. Drawing a clear distinction between beast fable and beast epic, it examines the complex variations of these forms that are to be found in the literature of medieval Britain, in English, French, Latin, and Scots.

GB154. McMANUS, Damian. “Good-looking and Irresistible: The Hero from Early Irish Saga to Classical Poetry.” Ériu 59 (2009): 57-109.

The existence of a system of regulation for the description of male beauty in Middle Irish poetry is implied by the appearance of the term duinedíglaim “personal

profile” and the example Da brœ dubœ, folt buide “two black brows, yellow hair” in a Middle Irish metrical tract. This paper examines the profile of kings and heroes in early Irish saga literature, including the theme of their irresistibility to women, and investigates the corresponding profile of patrons in Early Modern Irish classical verse. The survey, which covers a considerable number of both published and unpublished poems, reveals the enormous dependence of the later poetry on earlier models, in particular that of the heroic biography of Cú Chulainn.

Asks how each story theorizes what is at stake when same-sex eroticism becomes visible in its particular fictional world. Ovid’s “Iphis and Ianthe,” the Old French Yde et Olive, and Antonio Pucci’s Reina d’Oriente share a basic plotline but differ in their presentation of the pleasures and trouble that same-sex relationships provoke. Each tale has to invent its own moral and social categories in order to imagine how a female same-sex union might take on meaning. It is only with the Reina d’Oriente, I suggest, that this shared plotline is adapted to theorize at one and the same time the visibility of female homoeroticism and the viability of female homosociality.

An interesting introduction on translation theory and medieval hermeneutics enables us to see Petrarch’s presence not only in places we recognise as overtly Petrarchan but also, for example, in the way Chaucer perceives translation, the reading of texts, and the understanding of history. It is a fascinating perspective from which to view not only Chaucer

as a genuinely responsive reader to Petrarch but also his relationship with Dante and Boccaccio. (PW)

This article proposes that Chaucer’s Reeve’s Tale is a fusion of classical legend plot with fabliau setting and characters. This fusion helps Chaucer push the fabliau beyond its own limits, allowing the Reeve’s Tale to reveal late medieval culture’s conflicting attitudes towards female desire and masculine control and thus to interrogate more fully the gender politics of the Knight’s classical romance. The article argues that because the Reeve’s Tale revises many of the traditional features of medieval obscene discourse–features that the Miller’s Tale embodies–it is a crucial part of Chaucer’s meditation on issues of gender and genre in Fragment One.

GB222. WEISS, Judith. “The Exploitation of Ideas of Pilgrimage and Sainthood in Gui de Warewic.” ASHE et al., Exploitations, 43-56 [F-GB1].

The article focuses on the ambivalent, even contradictory, nature of Gui de Warewic’s piety, conversion and pilgrimage. The poet deliberately exploited the hagiographical genre and concepts of penitential pilgrimage, drawing on pilgrim figures in chansons de geste such as Le Moniage de Guillaume, and insular romances such as Boeve de Haumtone and Waldef, simply to enhance his hero’s moral standing. The romance may have been written, not at Oseney abbey, but in the priory of St Frideswide, a saint whose career parallels the last stages of Gui’s. (JW)

A fascinating study of how writing for Petrarch is a personal ritual and meditative exercise and how his vernacular poetry and other Latin works, including his collections of letters, are conditioned by uses of writing, both in dynamic interplay with his Stoic sources, Ovid and Augustine, and in contradistinction to Dante and the late-medieval monastic reform movements.
