III. STUDIES

ADLER, Gillian. “Canine Intercessors and Female Religious Metaphor in Sir Gowther.” Comitatus 48 (2017): 49-71.

510

Born of the devil and given to excessive masculine aggression against women and religion, Gowther is transformed through the intercession of women and dogs into a knight with ethical and religious values. For Adler, Sir Gowther (c.1400) offers an alternative paradigm for courtly romance, for while the romance integrates human and animal categories, it finally opts for the interdependence of religious and secular communities as a better option than hereditary, patriarchal militarism. (NC)

AIELLO, Matthew G. “(Re)Counting Rape in Alfred’s Domboc and Early English Law.”

Comitatus 48 (2017): 1-19.

However tangential to courtly literature, the essay focuses on Alfred’s judgement book (9th century) to analyze laws governing rape limited to “unwanted sexual contact (i.e. groping or penetration)” (2). Aiello’s linguistic, quantitative method argues for the seriousness of the crime and for compensation across social classes, including slaves, but Aiello also notes the uniqueness of these standards to Alfred’s reign. (NC)

BAMFORD, Healther. “Material Love: Manuscript Culture in Prison Amoureuse and Cárcel de Amor.” The Lazarus Effect: Translating Death in Medieval English Vernacular Drama. Philological Quarterly 96.3 (2017): 269-292.

BOURDIER, Juliette. “Travels through the dark realms of Medieval Clerical Fantasies: sex and erotica in the Infernal Testimony.” Comitatus 48 (2017): 21-48.

Contributing to medieval studies of sexuality, Bourdier provides an overview of Christian movements to condemn sexuality in light of changing social and political contexts from the 10th to the 15th centuries. Focusing on chastity, she traces the fetishization of body parts courtly literature praises as the targets 511for punishment. The study exposes the permeable boarders between pleasure and pain. (NC)

BURROW, John. “The Exchange of Hearts in the English Poems of Charles d’Orléans.” ChauR 52.4 (2017): 476-483.

In both his French and English books, Charles d’Orléans pleads for a consensual relationship through the exchange of hearts. (MH)

BUSIC, Jason. “Medieval Complexity: Convivencia and the Construction of Religious Identity in Mozarabic Apology (Eleventh through Thirteenth Century).” Enarratio: Publications of the Medieval Association of the Midwest 21(2017): 1-27.

Four texts from distinct places and times ranging from the eleventh to thirteenth centuries and authored by Arabicized Christians negotiate religious identity by establishing through exegesis continuity with the Latin tradition to which their community lays claim. (MH)

CLARK, Laura. “There and Back Again: A Malorian Wild Man’s Tale.” Arthuriana 27.2 (2017): 55-72.

A Bakhtinian reading of the medieval nobleman-turned-wild man phenomenon as carnival, where madness allows Tristram and Lancelot to escape temporarily the rigid constraints of chivalric society. Paradoxically, however, their reintegration into courtly society fails to resolve the divided loyalties that originally drove them to madness in the first place. (SH)

Keywords: Bakhtin, Rabelais and His World, Morte D’Arthur, identity, love, trauma, oath, duty.

DUMITRESCU, Irina. “Beautiful Suffering and the Culpable Narrator in Chaucer’s Legend of Good Women.” ChauR 52.1 (2017): 106-123.

Presenting himself as unskilled—a poor copier of sources—the Legend’snarrator amends the act of glorying (through accomplished verbal art) in women’s tragedies. (MH)

ELIAS, Marcel. “Violence, Excess, and the Composite Emotional Rhetoric of Richard Cœur de Lion.” SP 114.1 (Winter 2017): 1-38.

Additions to the base text map a critique of violent conduct seen through a consideration of tone: emotions expressed in response to the king’s character and actions serve an evaluative function registering ambivalence toward distempered violence. (MH)

512

ELMES, Melissa Ridley. “He Dreams of Dragons: Alchemical Imagery in the Medieval Dream Visions of King Arthur.” Arthuriana 27.1 (2017): 73-94.

Traces the presence of alchemical imagery in Arthur’s dream visions across the English chronicle, alliterative and romance traditions as it relates to the process of king-making and the formation of English national identity. (SH)

FORD, Gabriel. “‘Wose is onwise’: Dame Sirith in Context.” SP 114.2 (Spring 2017): 223-244.

Considering the tale’s analogues shows innovations that recast the story as an exploration of competing values between church and market. (MH)

An examination of Chrétien’s Yvain as an exemplum of caritas. (SH)

Considering performance of Ovid’s play Pamphilus de amore contributes to understanding the textuality of Juan Ruiz’s Libro de buen amor,particularly in regard to the question of source for the Don Melón, Doña Endrina, and Trotaconventos episode. (MH)

HEBING, Rosanne. “‘Allmygti god this lettyr sent’: English Heavenly Letter Charms in Late Medieval Books and Rolls.” SP 114.4 (Fall 2017): 720-747.

That additions and deletions are more common a feature in charm-carrying books than on rolls carrying charms indicates a different perception of the carrier’s material unity of contents and physicality (text and context) in relation to its amuletic function. (MH)

HILDEBRAND, Kristina. “Sitting on the Sidelines: Disability in Malory.” Arthuriana 27.3 (2017): 66-80.

Impairment and disability in Malory’s Morte Darthur provoke extreme anxiety, thus relegating impaired individuals to the liminal space of the sidelines since they can no longer participate in the activities that define them as knights. (SH)

Keywords: wound, injury, maim, violence, inclusion, exclusion, normalization, marginalization.

HOSTETTER, Aaron. “Sir Gowther: Table Manners and Aristocratic Identity.”

SP 114.3 (Summer 2017): 497-516.

Moving from a context of penitential narrative to conduct books shows Sir Gowther as a poem about personal comportment and the centrality of manners to one’s place at the table. (MH)

JEFFERIS, Sibylle. “Der Einfluss von Gottfrieds Tristan auf das Märe und das Spiel von Aristoteles und Phyllis: Die ‘Baumgartenszene’ und die Folgen.” In: [F- ]Medieval German Tristan and Trojan War Stories: Interpretations, Interpolations, and Adaptations (Kalamazoo Papers 2015-2016). Ed. Sibylle JEFFERIS. GAG 786. Göppingen: Kümmerle, 2017. P. 29-74.

This study shows parallels between Tristan and the MHG maere Aristoteles und Phyllis in regard to the ‘Baumgarten’-Scene and how Tristan influenced the maere. The maere, in turn, is derived from the Old French maere Le Lai 514d’Aristote by Henri d’Andeli, and the Middle High German maere is adapted into the play Aristoteles und Phyllis, which shows parallels as well. (SJ)

Keywords: Henri d’Andeli, Le Lai d’Aristote; Alexander; Marke; Isolde; ‘Minnegrotte’.

JEFFERIS, Sibylle. “Der Einfluss des Lieds von Troja Herborts von Fritzlar (uns seiner Quelle, Benoîts Roman de Troie) aud die ‘Minnegrotte’ in Gottfrieds von Strassburg Tristan: ‘Das Alabasterzimmer’ (‘La Chambre de Beautés)” In: [F- ]Medieval German Tristan and Trojan War Stories: Interpretations, Interpolations, and Adaptations (Kalamazoo Papers 2015-2016). Ed. Sibylle JEFFERIS. GAG 786. Göppingen: Kümmerle, 2017. P. 201-214.

The study demonstrates that the ‘Minnegrotte’ in Gottfried’s Tristan was influenced by the description of the ‘Alabasterzimmer’ in Herbort’s Lied von Troja and its French source, the ‘Chambre de Beautés’ in Benoît’s de Sainte-Maure Roman de Troie. (SJ)

Keywords: Hektor; Paris and Helena; music; flowers; precious stones; alabaster.

JENÉY, Cynthia. “Politics and Horsemanship in Chrétien de Troyes’Erec et Enide.” Arthuriana 27.3 (2017): 37-65.

KAPLAN, Gregory B. “Sem Tob’s Proverbios Morales: A Rabbinic Voice for Anti-Rabbinic Sectarianism.” Enarratio: Publications of the Medieval Association of the Midwest 21 (2017): 28-44.

In Proverbios Morales, directed toward a Christian public and in particular King Pedro of Castile (r. 1350-1369), Sem Tob advocates sensible policies and toleration toward Jewish subjects in the face of mounting anti-Semitism and cautions against intra-Jewish conflict between Rabbinism and anti-Rabbinite tradition. (MH)

LEBLANC, Lisa. “Culhwch and Olwen: Welsh Giants and Social Identity.” Arthuriana 27.3 (2017): 24-36.

The giant Ysbaddaden Pancawr in Culhwch and Olwen is atypical in that he acts not merely as a violent opponent who proves a warrior’s mettle but as a foil to King Arthur, demonstrating the negative effects of a leader who fails to establish his place in a kinship group. (SH)

Keywords: social identity, marriage, quest, lineage, ritual grooming.

LEITCH, Megan G. “The Servants of Chivalry?: Dwarves and Porters in Malory and the Middle English Gawain Romances.” Arthuriana 27.1 (2017): 3-27.

515

Keywords: chivalry, courtesy, reproach, service, identity, authority, convention.

LIGHTSEY, Scott. “Chaucer’s Return from Lombardy, the Shrine of St. Leonard at Hythe, and the ‘corsent Leonard’ in the House of Fame, Lines 112-118.” ChauR 52.2 (2017): 188-201.

Reconsidering in the context of the saint’s cult the reference to St. Leonard in the House of Fame suggests a localized and historically precise meaning for the lines. (MH)

LENDO, Elizabeth. “’In hir bed al naked’: Nakedness and Male Grief in Chaucer’s Book of the Duchess.” Philological Quarterly 96.4 (2017): 405-424.

Keywords: Chaucer, nudity, poetry.

LÓPEZ BERNAL, Desirée. “Los cuentos de Ibn ‘Asim (m. 1426): Precedentes en la península ibérica de relatos españoles y del folclore universal en el siglo XV.” HispRev 85.4 (Autumn 2017): 419-440.

This is the first of a series of articles that examine the collection of humorous folktales and jokes in the Ḥadāʾiq al-azāhir, written at the end of the fourteenth century by Ibn ‘Asim, a famous jurist as well as a major literary figure in Granada. The work can be classified as part of the encyclopedic and miscellaneous genre of Arabic literature known as “adab”. Most of the folktales appear also in earlier works, but many others seem to derive directly from the oral tradition. The article presents the first twelve folktales of the collection, translated in Spanish to make them available to non-Arabist scholars. Each folk tale is followed by an analysis of its sources, numerous references to its other variants known in Classical, Arabic and European Medieval literature, and its classification in folklore indexes.

LÓPEZ GONZÁLEZ, Luis F. “Fiometa’s wrathful suicide in Juan de Flores’s Grimalte y Gradisa.”

Hispanófila 181 (December 2017): 31-48.

Juan de Flores, in his fifteenth-century romance Grimalte y Gradisa, introduces the character of Fiometa, explicitly based on Boccaccio’s novel Elegia di Madonna Fiammetta. In this embedded version of the story, the protagonist Gradisa, having read Boccaccio’s text, asks her lover Grimalte to help reunite lovelorn Fiometa with her estranged lover, Panfilo. Grisalte finds her (in Italy) and acts as an intermediary. But when her lover rejects her, Fiometa is overcome by suffering and wrath, killing herself. The author contends that is a “wrathful suicide, a 516leitmotif of Spanish Medieval literature. Fiometa (a “flame” of unrestrained passion) is driven by an unstoppable rage that obliterates all rational thought and can only be ended by displacing her anger on herself. (CDS)

MURTON, Megan. “The Prioress’s Prologue: Dante, Liturgy, and Ineffability.” ChauR 52.3 (2017): 318-340.

The Prioress’s Prologue engages critically with language’s limits and potential as prayer and praise. (MH)

PARKER, Thandi. “A Woman’s Role: how scribes depicted women in the fifteenth-century Canterbury Roll.” Comitatus 48 (2017): 95-115.

Written before the War of the Roses and continued after it, the roll treats women as supplemental to legitimizing kingship. Focusing on three scribes, Parker finds positive depictions to depend on the women’s lineage, their sustaining of prosperous kings, and the production of legitimate heirs whereas the negative depictions depend on chaotic times that ascribe attributes of independence and power-wielding detrimental to the country. The early scribes ignore thriving women such as Margaret of Anjou and Elizabeth Woodville. The later scribe recognizes Lear’s daughters as rulers but only because they upset the established order. Women then are helpmates to successful kingship but responsible for failed ones. The scribes effectively inscribe their own ideologies so as to ignore the social changes n the status of women occurring after the war. (NC)

PARMLEY, Nicholas M. “Alfonso X’s imagined Mediterranean empire: Shipwrecks, storms, and pirates in the Cantigas de Santa María.” HispRev 85.2 (Spring 2017): 199-221The study analyzes the image of the sea in the Cantigas de Santa María as a textual and visual manifestation of King Alfonso X’s imperial project. The Cantigas are contemporary with Alfonso X’s creation of a maritime order dedicated to the Virgin Mary (Order de Santa María de España) as well as the creation of a new code of maritime law (the Siete Partidas). The miracle narratives of the Cantigas reveal the role of the Virgin Mary in the control of the seas, protecting Castilian ports and merchants and defeating their enemies. Contrary to Josiah Blackmore’s view of shipwrecks as “counterhistoriographical” narratives of empire, the author maintains that in the Cantigas even shipwrecks are part of the Virgin Mary’s intercession in support of Alfonsine imperial ambitions across the Mediterranean and into North Africa and Italy. Ambitions never actually realized. (CDS)

PYLE, Christine. “Sacramental Unity for a Saracen: Malory’s Conflicted Knight Palomides.” Arthuriana 27.4 (2017): 22-38.

Keywords: Book of Sir Tristram de Lyons, Tristram, fellowship, confession, baptism, contrition, conflict.

PUGH, Tison. “Gender, Vulgarity, and the Phantom Debates of Chaucer’s Merchant’s Tale.” SP 114.3 (Summer 2017): 473-496.

Discordant elements and apparent disjunctions in the Merchant’s Tale sort out into a series of five debates that render women’s role in arguments concerning marriage and gender necessary and superior. (MH)

QUINTANAR, Abraham. “Cantiga 10’s Rose-Mary: Superlative Allegory of Beauty and Power.” Enarratio: Publications of the Medieval Association of the Midwest 21 (2017): 70-89.

Superlative structures, particularly of Marian praise, reveal an allegorical system of religious empire that consigns women to spiritual deprivation and inferior political status. (MH)

WEISKOTT, Eric. “The Ireland Prophecy: Text and Metrical Context.” SP 114.2 (Spring 2017): 245-277.

A critical edition of the poem including textual notes and introduction to extant manuscripts (six, dating from mid-fifteenth century to early seventeenth century) 518provides occasion to contextualize and draw out the literary-historical implications of the poem’s metrical form within the durable tradition of alliterative verse. (MH)
