Richard Neuse here explores the relationship between two great medieval epics, Dante's Divine Comedy and Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. He argues that Dante's attraction for Chaucer lay not so much in the spiritual dimension of the Divine Comedy as in the human. Borrowing Bertolt Brecht's phrase "epic theater," Neuse underscores the interest of both poets in presenting, as on a stage, flesh and blood characters in which readers would recognize the authors as well as themselves. As spiritual autobiography, both poems challenge the traditional medieval mode of allegory, with its tendency to separate body and soul, matter and spirit. Thus Neuse demonstrates that Chaucer and Dante embody a humanism not generally attributed to the fourteenth century. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1991.

This book explores the late medieval literary legacy of early Christianity's relationship to its Judaic origins. Catherine S. Cox demonstrates how the works of three canonical 14th-century authors--Dante, the Gawain-poet, and Chaucer--express conflicting aspects of Jewish and Christian religious identity. In their support of Christianity's view of history, she argues, their poetry replicates Christianity's inclination to appropriate and reconstruct Jewish texts. All three writers shared the challenge of reconciling their Christian agenda with their literary agenda and their desire to excel as artists while perpetuating an evangelical message. Looking at some of their major texts--in particular, the Commedia, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and the Canterbury Tales--she situates their work in relation to the history of supersessionism and its ideological perspectives. She demonstrates that their representations of the Judaic "Other" and their exclusion of Hebrew scriptural tradition helped establish an instructive frame for late medieval theological, literary, and cultural debate. By engaging ancient scholarship with contemporary theory, Cox offers provocative readings of both the texts and the cultural conditions from which they emerged and in which they were received. Informed by a broad range of literary, historical and recent critical debates, her study will bring about a new understanding of numerous and sometimes perplexing aspects of work by monumental figures in literary history.

Medieval commentaries on the origin and history of language used biblical history, from Creation to the Tower of Babel, as their starting-point, and described the progressive impairment of an originally perfect language. Biblical and classical sources raised questions for both medieval poets and commentators about the nature of language, its participation in the Fall, and its possible redemption. John M. Fyler focuses on how three major poets - Chaucer, Dante, and Jean de Meun - participated in these debates about language. He offers fresh analyses of how the history of language is described and debated in the Divine Comedy, the Canterbury Tales and the Roman de la Rose. While Dante follows the Augustinian idea of the Fall and subsequent redemption of language, Jean de Meun and Chaucer are skeptical about the possibilities for linguistic redemption and resign themselves, at least half-comically, to the linguistic implications of the Fall and the declining world.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ... The number of definite passages, however, which show evidence of influence on the part of Dante is not so large as in the case of Byron and Shelley. In the Princess we have an allusion to the oft-quoted inscription over the Gate of Hell: How saw you not the inscription on the gate, Let no man enter in on pain of death; the lines in the Two Voices, My frozen heart began to beat, Remembering its ancient heat, seem to be a reminiscence of Lo gel che m' era intorno al cor ristretto, Spirito ed acqua fessi, (Purg., XXX, 97-8, ) and Conosco i segni dell' antica fiamma (ibid., 48). There is a very evident resemblance between Dante's discussion of Fortune1 and the Song of Fortune in Geraint and Enid: 1 Inf., VII, 73 ff., and line 95 of Canto XV: Pert giri fortuna la sua ruota. Turn, Fortune, turn thy wheel and lower the proud; Turn thy wild wheel thro' sunshine, storm, and cloud; Thy wheel and thee we neither love nor hate. Turn, Fortune, turn thy wheel with smile or frown; With that wild wheel we go not up or down; Our hoard is little, but our hearts are great. Smile and we smile, the lords of many lands; Frown and we smile, the lords of our own hands; For man is man and master of his fate.1 Turn, turn thy wheel above the staring crowd; Thy wheel and thou are shadows in the cloud; Thy wheel and thee we neither love nor hate. In Locksley Hall occur the well-known lines, Comfort? Comfort scorn'd of devils! this is true the poet sings, That a sorrow's crown of sorrows is remembering happier things, and in the Palace of Art, among the "paintings of wise men" which the poet hung The royal dais round, 1 This line evidently inspired the oft-quoted verse of W. E. Henley: I am the master of ray fate. was one in which the world-worn Dante grasp'd his...

As the 'father' of the English literary canon, one of a very few writers to appear in every 'great books' syllabus, Chaucer is seen as an author whose works are fundamentally timeless: an author who, like Shakespeare, exemplifies the almost magical power of poetry to appeal to each generation of readers. Every age remakes its own Chaucer, developing new understandings of how his poetry intersects with contemporary ways of seeing the world, and the place of the subject who lives in it. This Handbook comprises a series of essays by established scholars and emerging voices that address Chaucer's poetry in the context of several disciplines, including late medieval philosophy and science, Mediterranean Studies, comparative literature, vernacular theology, and popular devotion. The volume paints the field in broad strokes and sections include Biography and Circumstances of Daily Life; Chaucer in the European Frame; Philosophy and Science in the Universities; Christian Doctrine and Religious Heterodoxy; and the Chaucerian Afterlife. Taken as a whole, The Oxford Handbook of Chaucer offers a snapshot of the current state of the field, and a bold suggestion of the trajectories along which Chaucer studies are likely to develop in the future.
