{"title":"The Popularity of the Middle English Romance by Velma Bourgeois Richmond (review)","authors":"R. L. Kindrick","doi":"10.2307/1346830","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/1346830","url":null,"abstract":"Professor Richmond begins her study by posing a scholarly dilemma: In view of the attitudes of modern readers, how is the earlier popularity of the Middle English romance to be explained? She argues that obviously we are in need of a broader understanding of medieval standards of taste to comprehend why the romance flourished, and she believes that a key factor is the homogeneity of interests and attitudes in all segments of the medieval audience. As she sees it, the controlling vision of the authors of romance is distinctly Christian and shows \"the ultimate triumph offirm moral purpose.\" (p. 24). To support her thesis, Professor Richmond analyzes several romances organized under the rubrics of \"Fortune's Heroes,\" \"Fiendish Origins Transformed,\" \"Friendship and Brotherhood,\" and \"The Delights of Love.\" She provides four examples for each of the first two categories, three for each of the last two, but she believes that her examples are broadly representative of the general habit of thinking that informed Middle English romance. She devotes her most substantial analysis to \"Guy of Warwick,\" which she considers in a chapter to itself. The book has its merits: Generally Professor Richmond's style is quite readable, and she has provided substantial secondary documentation. However, the book also has some serious flaws. While Professor Richmond's subject is a worthy one, to master it requires a broader understanding of medieval standards of taste than she has provided. There is very little on the roles of Chivalry and courtly love in the romance, except as whipping boys for the doctrinaire authors she posits. Similarly, all aspects of the supernatural are either subordinated to religion or serve primarily as foils, ultimately to be vanquished in the cause of theology. Even medieval attitudes toward religion are sometimes stereotyped or incompletely presented, an especially grave flaw given her approach. Professor Richmond has chosen an interesting subject, one she might better pursue from a broader perspective. While her book provides a compendium of religious interpretations of the tales, her argument remains to be proven.","PeriodicalId":326714,"journal":{"name":"Rocky Mountain Review of Language and Literature","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115312055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They played it twice a day, at ten to eight in the morning and at ten to five in the afternoon. Blake listened absently. Before the last echo had faded, he bent his head once more over a page with a few lines written on it, most of them crossed out. He jotted another line, crossed out half of it, dropped his pen and reached for his coat. \"Time to go home, Arch,\" he said. Arch's office was next to his. \"Not for another hour, at least,\" came his answer. \"I can't afford to keep banker's hours. How can you ?\" \"Can't take anymore, is all. If I have to cross out one more line before dinner, I'll lose my appetite.\" \"One more line of what? Got another article in progress?\" \"Not this time. Another story, I hope.\" \"What do you do with those things ?\" \"Collect rejection slips, mostly.\" Arch's grin was probably a little condescending. Here at this conservative college where they both collected their pay checks, Arch had learned to live with a flair. He and his wife operated a Dairy Queen, and it was a matter of stringent personal pride that his classes never suffered because of this tidy \"on the side\" venture. He worked like a Trappist monk on his class preparation. No nonsense. Blake was sure Arch could never understand his frivolous life. Home at five! Well, he probably couldn't understand trying to live on one lonesome salary, either. Or coming back to the office to write... stories!","PeriodicalId":326714,"journal":{"name":"Rocky Mountain Review of Language and Literature","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121830443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular the essay looks at small part of the whole. In the breakout session on \"non-traditional\" students, we pause for a moment and consider that problem-solving techniques exist beyond pre-established procedures; in the classroom as in life, there should be some genuine allegiance to the possibility of considering alternative perspectives. At the workshop were talented teachers who understood the fallibility of habitually treating all students the same. Yet, in teaching, not all things come naturally.
