{"title":"On Not Being Chaucer","authors":"Ruth Evans","doi":"10.1353/sac.2022.0028","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/sac.2022.0028","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:Chaucer's place in the canon and on the syllabus has at various times during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, in various places around the world, been questioned by students, academics, administrators, and professional organizations, in response to very specific and often highly localized cultural, historical, and institutional factors. The history and nature of those factors are instructive if we want to continue to make the case for the value of studying Chaucer. In this address I consider some of the national and international contexts that have put pressure on the study of Chaucer, contexts that include US and UK responses to institutional racism, and feminist literary criticism's critique of Chaucer's sexism and of the institutionalization of feminist criticism. I consider some of the historical rejections of Chaucer, from that of the black British writer David Dabydeen in the 1970s to the brief flare of the Chaucer Wars of 2021. I argue that decentering Chaucer needs an informed critique of how canons are constructed and of the specific ways in which they are ethnocentric and non-representative. I then consider some of the ways in which Chaucer's work has been reimagined in positive political ways, such as Refugee Tales. I argue that we should continue to read Chaucer because his writings and the history of their reception continue to generate new and important ways of understanding the past history of race and racism, and thus enable the envisioning of more hopeful futures for Chaucerian scholars and our students.","PeriodicalId":53678,"journal":{"name":"Studies in the Age of Chaucer","volume":"44 1","pages":"2 - 26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49480066","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}

Sawyer","doi":"10.1353/sac.2022.0034","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/sac.2022.0034","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:Modern scholars, imagining the reading experience infamously evoked by Jankyn's \"book of wicked wives,\" usually interpret medieval misogamous writing through a patristic and clerkly tradition dominated by Jerome. But surviving compilations rarely display the thematic unity of Jankyn's anthology or neatly reproduce familiar formulations of the Hieronymian tradition. Rather, in their juxtapositions of unlike texts, these manuscripts provide material indications of how medieval misogamy might have been conceived differently by the scribes who prepared such miscellanies and the readers who encountered them. In order to examine the cultural and imaginative assumptions that grounded material and textual compilation in mixed-content manuscripts, this essay attends to the \"codicological unconscious\" of Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Bodley 851. Specifically, it examines the obsession with feminine insatiability shared by two wholly unlike poems that survive exclusively and contiguously in a single scribal hand in the earliest material fragment of Bodley 851. Where the Ave virgo mater christi (Hail Virgin Mother of Christ) imagines insatiability as a laudable aspect of the Virgin Mary's pure erotic relationship with God, the De coniuge non ducenda (On the Necessity of Avoiding Marriage) imagines insatiability as a despicable aspect of the wife's proclivity for sexual transgression. Although this topical conjunction does not generate any overarching conceptual synthesis or competing misogamous ideology, it nevertheless illuminates how the experience of reading—recuperated via attention to singular manuscript contexts—can produce harmonies and tensions otherwise obscured.","PeriodicalId":53678,"journal":{"name":"Studies in the Age of Chaucer","volume":"44 1","pages":"193 - 232"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46189573","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}
