While Chaucer's first poem, The Book of the Duchess, illustrates the distinctions between hearing and listening, and highlights different relational dynamics implicit in various modes of listening, the implications of this aural preoccupation for his own poetics emerges most concretely in his two most famous dream visions, The Parliament of Fowls and The House of Fame, both of which clearly pivot from visual to aural perceptual modes over the course of their narratives. Here Chaucer's engagement with janglynge through The Parliament's bird calls and the acousmatic voices in the House of Rumor highlights his sense of the partiality of his own poetic voice, dependent as it is on the collaboration of his auditor to come into being.","PeriodicalId":53678,"journal":{"name":"Studies in the Age of Chaucer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46960988","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}

While unique in an English literary manuscript, the ornate textura employed by the scribes of the Corpus Troilus has direct peers in fine liturgical and religious manuscripts of the first half of the fifteenth century. Tracing the networks of these manuscripts across scribes, artists, and patrons, reveals that the Corpus Troilus was most likely commissioned by a high level prelate.","PeriodicalId":53678,"journal":{"name":"Studies in the Age of Chaucer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42136744","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":null,"pages":null},"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}
