They are not only fun but indicate a great deal about the ideals and values of the society they were written in. Yet M ANC the genre of Middle English romance has only recently begun to attain critical E respectability, dismissed as “vayn carpynge” in its own age and generally treated ENGLISH by twentieth-century critics as a junk-food form of medieval literature. Chaucer’s Tale of Sir Thopas has been assumed to be a satire of the romances’ clichéd formulas E and unskilled authors. But the romances evidently enjoyed popularity among all S IN TRANSLATION English classes, and the genre itself continued to flourish and evolve down to present-day novels and movies. Whatever Chaucer and his contemporaries thought of romances, they would have needed some personal familiarity with the stories and texts for comic tales such as Sir Thopas to be understood. A century ago, Beowulf faced the same problem that the Middle English romances MIDDLE ENGLISH still face: no modern translations were published because few had heard of the poem– because there were no modern translations published. Where the romances have been printed, they have normally been reproduced as critical editions in their original language, or translated into heavily abridged children’s versions, but few have been published as scholarly close line translations with notes. This book is an ROMANCES attempt to remedy this by making some of these romances available to the student or lay reader who lacks specialized knowledge of Middle English, with the hope that a clearer understanding of the poems will encourage not only enjoyment but IN TRANSLATION also further study. amis and amiloun | athelston | floris and Ken Eckert comes from Edmonton, Canada, and is Assistant Professor of English at blancheflor | havelok the dane | Hanyang University (ERICA), Korea. king horn | sir degare Kenneth Eckert Sidestone ISidestoneSBN 978-90-8890-339-7 Press ISBN: 978-90-8890-339-7 9 789088 903397 This is an Open Access publication.

As ever, when I write it is partly for her. As well, I owe thanks to teachers and professors who have encouraged me over the years, especially Daniel Thurber (Concordia, Nebraska); Catherine Eddy and Richard Willie (Concordia, Edmonton); William Schipper (Memorial, Newfoundland); my dissertation director, John Bowers (U. of Nevada, Las Vegas) and committee; and my friend Jacquie Elkouz at UNLV. In a book of romances which are often deemed clichéd themselves I will forgo the tired one about standing on giants and simply thank these people for setting me on a path. In the production of this book I would like to thank Karsten Wentink and Corné van Woerdekom at Sidestone for their kindness and guidance, as well as Hanyang University, Korea for their support of research in Edinburgh and England in 2014. For help I received in inspecting manuscripts I would additionally like to thank the rare book people at the British Library, London. For their permissions in clearing the use of public domain images and texts I would like to acknowledge the National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh; The British Library, London; the Heidelberg University Library; and the Council of the Early English Text Society, Oxford. Soli Deo gloria. acknowledgments 7 Introduction The Medieval Romances A wit-besotting trash of books.–Montaigne, on medieval romances.1 One frustration of engaging in any branch of European medieval studies as an academic pursuit is that few claim expertise about the ancient or Roman worlds, but seemingly everyone on an internet discussion forum believes him or herself knowledgeable about the medieval period, usually based on patently false beliefs. Outside academia, the popular understanding of the period usually presumes one of two stereotypes. The first is the ‘merry olde England’ cliché of Lucky Jim and the renaissance fair, where undergraduates dress as Vikings with Hagar the Horrible horns and discuss trivial minutiae of medieval weaponry, while flirting with underdressed females who serve mead. Hollywood films similarly depict any English century before the nineteenth as one where knights exclaim “forsooth, varlet” in stilted Victorian accents. While puerile and anachronistic, the trope is at least benign in comparison to the second common image of the era, which persistently retains the pejorative mislabel dark ages. This Monty Pythonesque world reeks of ignorance, plague, war, an From black-letter edition ofSyr Degore, by Wynkyn de Worde 1 John Florio, trans., The Essayes of Michael Lord of Montaigne, 2 vols.

The medieval Europeans enjoyed regular baths, but to state that they bathed at all invites incredulity among non-specialists. Yet the medieval church, while far from perfect, fostered our western systems of schools, universities, and hospitals, and the period’s supposedly primitive engineering gave us cathedrals and halls which are still standing. One of the bloodiest battles of the European Middle Ages, Agincourt (1415), resulted in about 10,000 deaths–compared to over a million fatalities in the Battle of the Somme in 1916. Doubly frustrating is the practice among scholars of belittling and misrepresenting the medieval period in order to place other eras in brighter relief. Just as classicists depict Greco-Roman culture as impossibly idyllic and urbane and pass over its rampant slavery, Renaissance humanists imagine a sudden flowering of civilization in post- plague Europe and present, “for purposes of contrast, a grossly simplified image of the preceding age”.2 The prejudice has a long intellectual tradition; the post-medieval appraisal of the period and its literature was consistently disdainful. Just as gunpowder helped make chivalry obsolete, its poetic values were regarded as primitive. Thomas Nashe was typical in writing about Bevis of Hampton in 1589 and asking who “can forbeare laughing” at the “worne out absurdities” of its “plodding meeter”.3 Milton disparages poetic rhyme itself as “the invention of a barbarous age, to set off wretched matter and lame meter”.4 Much of the condemnation was moral. Even in its own time, the romance genre was dismissed as “vayn carpynge” by medieval churchmen, a sentiment going back as far as Alcuin’s complaint in 797 to the monks at Lindisfarne, “Quid enim Hinieldus cum Christo?” (“What does Ingeld have to do with Christ?”) A homily complains that men who are unmoved by an account of Christ’s passion are “stirred to tears when the tale of Guy of Warwick is read”.5 Such reproaches evidently did not go beyond sporadic grumbling, for romances required expensive parchment and clerics to write them, but the condemnations intensified in Elizabethan England even as printing eased their transmission. Churchman Francis Meres cautioned that such wanton stories were “hurtful to youth”.6 The early humanists had equally firm objections against the corrupting example of the sensational plots and heroes of romances. Juan Luis Vives, Spanish humanist and friend to Thomas More, warned that they make their audiences “wylye and craftye, they kindle and styr up covetousnes, inflame angre, 2 John A.

  • Nobility in Middle English Romance
    Nobility in Middle English Romance Marianne A. Fisher A dissertation submitted for the degree of PhD Cardiff University 2013 Summary of Thesis: Postgraduate Research Degrees Student ID Number: 0542351 Title: Miss Surname: Fisher First Names: Marianne Alice School: ENCAP Title of Degree: PhD (English Literature) Full Title of Thesis Nobility in Middle English Romance Student ID Number: 0542351 Summary of Thesis Medieval nobility was a compound and fluid concept, the complexity of which is clearly reflected in the Middle English romances. This dissertation examines fourteen short verse romances, grouped by story-type into three categories. They are: type 1: romances of lost heirs (Degaré, Chevelere Assigne, Sir Perceval of Galles, Lybeaus Desconus, and Octavian); type 2: romances about winning a bride (Floris and Blancheflour, The Erle of Tolous, Sir Eglamour of Artois, Sir Degrevant, and the Amis– Belisaunt plot from Amis and Amiloun); type 3: romances of impoverished knights (Amiloun’s story from Amis and Amiloun, Sir Isumbras, Sir Amadace, Sir Cleges, and Sir Launfal). The analysis is based on contextualized close reading, drawing on the theories of Pierre Bourdieu. The results show that Middle English romance has no standard criteria for defining nobility, but draws on the full range on contemporary opinion; understandings of nobility conflict both between and within texts. Ideological consistency is seldom a priority, and the genre apparently serves neither a single socio-political agenda, nor a single socio-political group. The dominant conception of nobility in each romance is determined by the story-type. Romance type 1 presents nobility as inherent in the blood, type 2 emphasizes prowess and force of will, and type 3 concentrates on virtue.

    THESIS TIRANT LO BLANC(H): MASCULINITIES, PHALLOSOCIAL DESIRE, AND TRIANGULAR CONSTELLATIONS Submitted by Francisco Macías Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2011 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Roze Hentschell Ellen Brinks Fernando Valerio-Holguín Copyright by Francisco Macías 2011 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT TIRANT LO BLANC(H): MASCULINITIES, PHALLOSOCIAL DESIRE, AND TRIANGULAR CONSTELLATIONS The introduction of this thesis provides a revised survey that examines the analysis of Tirant scholars to date, including evaluations of its sources and influences, theories concerning its circulation, its autobiographical aspects, and its genre, among other approaches to literary criticism. It draws attention to points of contention and highlights and rectifies those that have been overlooked or that have remained undisputed. “Chapter One: Queer Heterosexualities in the Tirant: Straight until Proven ‘Other’” addresses the issue of masculinities in the clergy, the chivalry, and the monarchy by mapping models of masculinity—conventional and competing—within a phallosocial context. And “Chapter Two: Bizarre Love Triangles in the Tirant: Consummation of Phallosocial Desire” traces phallosocial desire by analyzing the processes that lead to a symbolic consummation of same-sex relations by means of erotic triangles within a (mandatory) heterosexuality, where women become the (required) vessel by which phallosocial desire is reified and

  • Acomparative Study of Middle English Romance and Modern Popular Sheikh Romance
    DESIRING THE EAST: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MIDDLE ENGLISH ROMANCE AND MODERN POPULAR SHEIKH ROMANCE AMY BURGE PHD UNIVERSITY OF YORK WOMEN‟S STUDIES SEPTEMBER 2012 ABSTRACT This thesis comparatively examines a selection of twenty-first century sheikh romances and Middle English romances from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries that imagine an erotic relationship occurring between east and west. They do so against a background of conflict, articulated in military confrontation and binary religious and ethnic division. The thesis explores the strategies used to facilitate the cross-cultural relationship across such a gulf of difference and considers what a comparison of medieval and modern romance can reveal about attitudes towards otherness in popular romance. In Chapter 1, I analyse the construction of the east in each genre, investigating how the homogenisation of the romance east in sheikh romance distances it from the geopolitical reality of those parts of the Middle East seen, by the west, to be „other‟. Chapter 2 examines the articulation of gender identity and the ways in which these romances subvert and reassert binary gender difference to uphold normative heterosexual relations. Chapter 3 considers how ethnic and religious difference is nuanced, in particular through the use of fabric, breaking down the disjunction between east and west. Chapter 4 investigates the way ethnicity, religion and gender affect hierarchies of power in the abduction motif, enabling undesirable aspects of the east to be recast. The key finding of this thesis is that both romance genres facilitate the cross-cultural erotic relationship by rewriting apparently binary differences of religion and ethnicity to create sameness.
