Piers Plowman Tradition A Study of Four Single-Witness English Texts from the 14th and 15th Centuries in Manuscript, Early Print, and Modern Editions by Kathleen J. Ogden A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Kathleen J. Ogden 2018 A Study of Four Single-Witness English Texts from the 14th and 15th Centuries in Manuscript, Early Print, and Modern Editions Kathleen J. Ogden Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This dissertation examines four single-witness manuscripts, written in English, dating from between the last quarter of the fourteenth century and the third quarter of the fifteenth: London, British Library MS Cotton Nero A.x, which contains the Pearl poems; Cambridge, Cambridge University Library MS Ll.iv.14, containing the fragmentary poem Richard the Redeless; London, British Library MS Additional 41666, which holds the fragmentary poem Mum and the Sothsegger; and London, British Library Additional MS 61823, which contains The Book of Margery Kempe. Each chapter traces the editorial and scholarly history of a single-witness medieval literary text from its first manuscript inscription through its various later forms, including manuscript marginalia, early printed versions, as well as modern editions from the mid-nineteenth century through to the present day. What unites each of these studies is a central interest in the relationship between the single manuscript version of each text and the various other versions of the text that have emerged since its medieval composition. I interrogate the decisions made by individual agents as they read, transcribed, edited, and critiqued these texts across time, and in the way that these decisions reflect contemporary scholarly, social, and political concerns. I am interested in the intractability of certain kinds of editorial decisions, even ii long after the assumptions that preceded them have changed or disappeared, and in the way that certain decisions—many of them built on editorial principles of authority and textual stability— become cemented in the editorial tradition of the texts, sometimes against manuscript evidence or to the exclusion of other, equally possible readings. Throughout, I hope to enact a kind of criticism that is mobilized by curiosity: curiosity about why editors and critics made the choices that they did, and curiosity about what else might be possible if we could get out from under the weight of already-inscribed interpretations. I am interested in seeing what happens when the editorial tradition of these texts is cracked open: when texts whose form has seemed to be settled can be unsettled again, even temporarily, in order to generate new ways of seeing them. iii Acknowledgements I owe an enormous amount to my supervisor, Alexandra Gillespie, who pushed and supported in equal measure, and who has made me better in so many ways; and to my committee members William Robins and Christopher Warley, both of whom were enormously generous throughout this process. I am also so grateful to my external examiner, David Coley, whose work was very influential on my own and who engaged with my project with such generousity while also pushing me to think more deeply about it. Thanks also to Alexandra Bolintineanu, whose enthusiasm, positivity, and insight have been so valuable over the years. I am also grateful to Satoko Tokunaga and Tanaka Matsuda, at Keio University in Tokyo, for taking me in and mentoring me for 6 months; and to Judith Herz and Manish Sharma, my mentors from my years at Concordia. I have been blessed with an amazingly supportive community which has helped me over the years: thanks especially to my sister Nancy, without whom I could not have done any of this; to my mom, and the memory of my dad and gramma; my three incredible nieces, Adele, Rose, and Laurel; Francis, Trudy and Bill Moul, who have been an incredible source of support and good humour; and. So many friends have helped me through this process, and I’m grateful especially to Laurel Koop, Genne Speers, Jen Raso, Peter Buchanan, Helen Marshall, Emma Gorst, Jessica Lockhart, Margaret Herrick, Sandy Carpenter, Joel Rogers, Abi Dennis, and Jay Rajiva: I’ve learned so much from all of you, and I’m so grateful. Throughout my work at UofT, I was also very fortunate to have been funded generously: thank you to the Department of English; the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council for funding my work through the Canada Graduate Scholarship and the Michael Smith Foreign Study Grant; and to the Ontario Graduate Scholarship. In addition to research funding, I have been extremely lucky to have had a lot of work opportunities throughout my PhD, and I am grateful to many supportive colleagues and supervisors: Jane Freeman, Rachael Cayley, and Peter Grav at the Graduate Centre for Academic Communication; Megan Burnett, Marie Vander Kloet, Alli Diskin, and Michal Kasprzak at the Centre for Teaching Support and Innovation, as well as the staff of the Teaching Assistant’s Training Program; and my incredible colleagues at the Academic Success Centre. iv Table of Contents ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .....................................................................................................................

  • The Arms on the Chaucer Tomb at Ewelme with a Note on the Early Manorial History
    The Arms on the Chaucer Tomb at Ewelme with a note on the early manorial history . of the parish by E. A. GREENING LAMBORN ALTHOUGH representing one of the largest and most interesting collec­ ..r-\. tions of mediaeval coats to be found on any tomb in England, the arms on the Chaucer tomb at Ewelme have never been competently examined, so that the persons represented by them have been only partially, and sometimes incorrectly, identified. The most recent account of them, in the otherwise admirable notes on the church compiled by a late rector, is of little genealogical or heraldic value; and the account in the first volume of the Oxford Journal of Monumental Brasses is of no value at all : , Others to some faint meaning make pretence But Shadwell never deviates into sense.' its author's competence may be judged by his description of ' time-honoured Lancaster' as ' the Duke of Gaunt.' Sir Harris Nicolas, who wrote the Memoir prefixed to the Aldine Chaucer of 1845, realised that the solution of the problem was the construction of a pedigree; but the tree he drew up was quite inade­ quate for the purpose. The earliest record of the coats is in the notebook of Richard Lee, Port­ cullis, who sketched them for his Gatherings of Oxfordshire on his Visitation of the County in 1574. It is now in the Bodleian (Wood MS. D. 14), and a page of it, showing some of the shields on the Ewelme tombs, was reproduced in facsimile in the Harleian Society'S volume of the Visitations of Oxfordshire.

  • Stapylton Final Version
    1 THE PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGE OF FREEDOM FROM ARREST, 1603–1629 Keith A. T. Stapylton UCL Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Page 2 DECLARATION I, Keith Anthony Thomas Stapylton, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed Page 3 ABSTRACT This thesis considers the English parliamentary privilege of freedom from arrest (and other legal processes), 1603-1629. Although it is under-represented in the historiography, the early Stuart Commons cherished this particular privilege as much as they valued freedom of speech. Previously one of the privileges requested from the monarch at the start of a parliament, by the seventeenth century freedom from arrest was increasingly claimed as an ‘ancient’, ‘undoubted’ right that secured the attendance of members, and safeguarded their honour, dignity, property, and ‘necessary’ servants. Uncertainty over the status and operation of the privilege was a major contemporary issue, and this prompted key questions for research. First, did ill definition of the constitutional relationship between the crown and its prerogatives, and parliament and its privileges, lead to tensions, increasingly polemical attitudes, and a questioning of the royal prerogative? Where did sovereignty now lie? Second, was it important to maximise the scope of the privilege, if parliament was to carry out its business properly? Did ad hoc management of individual privilege cases nevertheless have the cumulative effect of enhancing the authority and confidence of the Commons? Third, to what extent was the exploitation or abuse of privilege an unintended consequence of the strengthening of the Commons’ authority in matters of privilege? Such matters are not treated discretely, but are embedded within chapters that follow a thematic, broadly chronological approach.

Pidgeon Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 15 December 2011 ii iii ABSTRACT Who were the Wydeviles? The family arrived with the Conqueror in 1066. As followers in the Conqueror’s army the Wydeviles rose through service with the Mowbray family. If we accept the definition given by Crouch and Turner for a brief period of time the Wydeviles qualified as barons in the twelfth century. This position was not maintained. By the thirteenth century the family had split into two distinct branches. The senior line settled in Yorkshire while the junior branch settled in Northamptonshire. The junior branch of the family gradually rose to prominence in the county through service as escheator, sheriff and knight of the shire.

Jambeck At the end of the Treasury of the City of Ladies, Christine de Pizan writes, I thought that I would multiply this work throughout the world in various copies, whatever the cost might be, and present it in various places to queens, princesses, and noble ladies. Through their efforts, it will be... circulated among other women.... Seen and heard by many valiant ladies and women of authority, both at the present time and in times to come, they will pray to God on behalf of their faithful servant Christine, ...wishing they might have known her.1 As Charity Canon Willard observes, Christine accurately predicted her own subsequent fame and her audience which would span centuries.2 Indeed, the rolls of this readership reveal generations of women of achievement and distinction, many of whom Willard has identified as patrons and owners of Christine's work: Isabeau of Bavaria, Anne of France, Isabel of Portugal, and Margaret of 1 A Medieval Woman's Mirror of Honor.

  • On Donnington Castle, Berkshire. by HENRY GODWIN, Esq
    XXIX.—On Donnington Castle, Berkshire. By HENRY GODWIN, Esq. F.S.A. Read February 13th, 1873. ON the brow of a hill situate about a mile to the north of the market town of Newbury in Berkshire stand the picturesque ruins of Donnington Castle. The castle derives its name from the little village of Donnington, which is linked with the adjoining hamlet of Shaw in the parochial designation of Shaw-cum- Donm'ngton—a rural district, divided from the parish of Speen by the tiny river Lamborne, which, to use the quaint expression of Sylvester, in haste doth run To wash the feet of Chaucer's Donnington." The castle, of which the existing ruins formed the towered gateway only, was erected in 1385 by Richard de Abberbury, guardian of Richard II. during his minority, under a licence to crenellate granted to him by that monarch.1" Erom the peculiar language of this royal licence, " Quod Ric'us Abberbury quoddam castrum in solo suo proprio apud Donyngton in com. Berks de novo constituere, ac petra, &c, kernellare," it may be inferred that the new structure was the re-edification of a former castle, and this inference is corroborated by a statement of Grose's that " by a MS. in the Cotton Library it appears that in the time of Edward II. it belonged to Walter Abberbury, son and heir of Thomas Abberbury, who gave the King c s. for it."c Certain it is, the family of Abberbury, or Adderbury, was connected with Berkshire as early as 1291; for in that year Edward I.

  • Thomas Chaucer (1367?–1434), Speaker of the House of Commons
    Thomas Chaucer (1367?–1434), speaker of the House of Commons, in all likelihood elder son of Geoffrey Chaucer, by his wife Philippa, daughter of Sir Paon Roet and sister of Katherine Swnyford, mistress and afterwards wife of John, Duke of Lancaster, was born about 1367. Early in life, Thomas Chaucer married Matilda, second daughter and coheiress of Sir John Burghersh, nephew of Henry Burghersh, bishop of Lincoln, treasurer and chancellor of the Kingdom. His marriage brought him large estates, and among them the manor of Ewelme, Oxfordshire. It is evident that his connection with the Duke of Lancaster was profitable to him. He was appointed chief butler to Richard II, and on 20 March 1399 received a pension of twenty marks a year in exchange for certain offices granted him by the duke, paying at the same time five marks for the confirmation of two annuities of £10 charged on the duchy of Lancaster and also granted by the duke. These annuities were confirmed to him by Henry IV, who appointed him constable of Wallingford Castle, and steward of the honours of Wallingford and St. Valery and of the Chiltem Hundreds, with £40 a year as stipend and £10 for a deputy. About the same time he succeeded Geoffrey Chaucer as forester of North Petherton Park, Somersetshire. On 5 Nov. 1402 he received a grant of the chief butlership for life. On 23 Feb. 1411 the queen gave him the manor of Woodstock and other estates during her life, and on 16 March the king assigned them to him after her death.
