Thus, we have &lt;em&gt;The Oxford Guide to X&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;The Cambridge Companion to Y&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;The Routledge Handbook of Z&lt;/em&gt;, among others. (Disclaimer: I have contributed essays to such volumes.) Just who the audience for these volumes is can be tricky. Contributors need to steer a course between being too esoteric or technical so as to lose a non-specialist audience and being too superficial or too general so as to turn off a specialist audience. Should the volume be aimed at undergraduates, graduate students, the general reader, scholars—a mix of the four?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Professors Batkie, Irvin, and Shutters take a different approach in their edited ‘companion.’ They asked sixteen scholars each to choose what they consider one key word from ‘Chaucer’s singular vocabulary’ and trace its use across all his works. The essays are grouped in sets of four, and each set is followed by a response from an additional scholar. Group one looks at Chaucer’s use of ‘consent,’ ‘entente,’ ‘pite,’ and ‘slider.’ Group two considers ‘merveille,’ ‘virginite,’ ‘swiven,’ and ‘craft.’ Group three addresses ‘vertu,’ ‘wal,’ ‘thing,’ and ‘blak.’ And group four investigates ‘auctorite,’ ‘seculere,’ ‘flesh,’ and ‘memorie.’ The result is a ‘companion’ that offers essays in conversation with each other and an endless number of new ways to look at Chaucer’s texts in a volume addressed to all four audiences which I enumerated above.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Helen Barr’s examination of ‘swiven’ is typical of the essays in this collection (pp. 129–41). Chaucer, whom Spenser praises as ‘the well of English undefyled’ (&lt;em&gt;Fairie Queen,&lt;/em&gt; 4.2.32), uses this most vulgar of terms seven times: in the tales of the Manciple, the Merchant, the Miller, the Reeve, and the Cook. But Barr argues that Chaucer’s use of the word is always ‘poetically nuanced. It is not simply a matter of “bawdy.” Rather, “swiving” in verse makes an important literary—and social point. Chaucer’s use of “swiven” asks the questions: What is poetry? Who is it for?’ (p. 129). Barr’s discussion rescues the word from the hands of previous scholarship and editorial practice which ignored, glossed over, or considered it less than l","PeriodicalId":43123,"journal":{"name":"Arthuriana","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138543082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
