Lydgate and the Roman Antique
FLORILEGIUM 11, 1992 LYDGATE AND THE ROMAN ANTIQUE Paul M. Clogan The obsession with Lydgate's style, according to Derek Pearsall, "is endless, and to some extent self-sufficient, for there is no other poet in whom 'style' becomes so nearly an end in itself, a fixed entity, whose relation to 'subject' is one of abstract congruence not expressive embodiment."1 For John Ganim Lydgate's "often prolix narrative style . can be understood as part of a process of literary history that begins to include an audience broader than the court or monastery. His style comes about from a union of the perspectives of the court and the cloister; ... his creation of a voice that could speak to prince and merchant on the same level."2 This paper focusses on the relation of narrative and moral generalization in The Siege of Thebes and suggests that it springs from a elaboration of elements in the tradition of the roman antique and, in particular, the recovery and assimilation of Le Roman de Thebes into the prose text of the Histoire ancienne jusqu'a Cesar, the earliest ancient history written in Old French. Lydgate's "anxiety of influence"3 to "complete" Chaucer's Knight's Tale by narrating the beginnings of the story of Thebes led him to choose the prose Thebes in the Histoire ancienne as his source rather than the verse Roman de Thebes, which Chaucer negotiates in his adaptation of Statius's Thebaid in the Knight's Tale. And that has made all the difference. Lydgate makes explicit the moral significance of the story of Thebes, which Chaucer 7 8 FLORILEGIUM 11, 1992 left implicit. -
Davies. Troilus and Siege
! ‘Wereyed on every side:’ Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyde and the Logic of Siege Warfare* D"#$%& D"'$%( Geo)rey Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyde is a narrative of war that disavows any interest in recounting the events of war. Set towards the end of the Trojan War, Chaucer’s tale turns its back on valorous deeds and bloody battles in favour of the love a)air between a Trojan prince and a beautiful widow, Troilus and Criseyde. *is attitude is epitomized by a line from the opening of the poem that Chaucer closely translated from Giovanni Boccaccio’s Il Filostrato: ‘*e thynges fellen, as they don of werre’ (+.+!,).+ *ings happened, as they do in war: armies attacked the city, the city fought back; pitched battles occurred, soldiers died; the war of attrition continued. *e events of the Trojan War are ‘wel wist’ (+.-.), and it is not Chaucer’s task or his intention to recapitulate what we already know about the war. *is idea is repeated at the end of the poem, where Chaucer states that if he had intended to write ‘*e armes of this ilke worthi man, / *an wolde ich of his batailles endite; / But for that I to writen /rst bigan / Of his love, I have seyd as I kan’ (-.+.0-–+.01). If Chaucer had meant to write about Troilus’ military endeavours, then * For their criticism, commentary and support, I would like to thank Kellie Robertson and the two anonymous readers of New Medieval Literatures, Aaron Bartels-Swindells, Arthur Bahr, Rita Copeland, Helen Cushman, Jonathan Morton, Paul Saint-Amour, Emily Steiner, Spencer Strub and David Wallace, and audiences at the Sewanee Medieval Colloquium, Delaware Medieval Association and La Poésie dans les temps de guerre for comments and suggestions. -

Duffell Most modem critics and editors of John Lydgate's work feel it necessary to address the problem of his reputation as a versifier: why did his contemporaries rate him so highly when twentieth-century writers regard him, at best, as idiosyncratic and, at worst, as incompetent? Thus, for example, Saintsbury dismissed him as 'a doggerel poet with an insensitive ear' and Hammond demonstrated that Lydgate's roughness was due, not to ignorant copyists, but to an ignorant poet; 'The study of Lydgate's mentality,' she concluded, 'may not be worth the student's candle.' In the last sixty years a number of writers, from Pyle to Hascall, have made important contributions to our understanding of Lydgate's metrics, but have not succeeded in making us admire his versification. Yet he was the most prolific and admired versifier in England during his own lifetime and for a century after his death. 1 George Saintsbury, A History of English Prosody from the Twelfth Century to the Present Day, Y.From the Origins to Spenser (London and New York: Macmillan, 1906), p. 223; Eleanor Prescott Hammond, English Verse between Chaucer and Surrey (Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 1927), p.l 52. -

Xne Library of Alice Chaucer, Jducness of Suffolk? a Fifteenfk-Century Owner of a Jdoke Ot Le ^L/Itee De Juames
Misericordia International Xne Library of Alice Chaucer, JDucness of Suffolk? A Fifteenfk-Century Owner of a JDoke ot le ^L/itee de JUames Karen K. 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.

DIVISION OF THE HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY PASADENA, CALIFORNIA 91125 MUTAVIT VULTUM: FORTUNE AND THE WIFE OF BATH'S TALE David Burchmore HUMANITIES WORKING PAPER 33 August 1979 MUTAVIT VULTUM: FORTUNE AND THE WIFE OF BATH'S TALE The Wife of Bath concludes the lengthy discussion of marriage in her Prologue with an account of the means by which she taught obedience to her fifth husband, Jankyn. The immediate result of his submission, according to her story, was a sudden and dramatic transformation in her character. Where before she had been stubborn and shrewish, a "janglaresse" at home who wandered abroad without Jankyn's permission and against his will, she is now as kind to him and as true as any wife from Denmark to India. Having made this rather astonishing confession, she then proceeds to tell a story which embodies the lessons of her experience in a striking emblem: the physical trans formation of a loathly hag into a young and beautiful woman upon being granted sovereignty in marriage. Clearly this transformation is meant to represent in a symbolic way the kind of change in demeanor which the Wife claims to have displayed herself., But in her figurative or emblematic characterization the Hag bears an even more striking resemblance to another figure familiar to every member of Chaucer's audience. That is the image of Fortune, who was often portrayed as a woman with two different faces: young, lovely and smiling on one side, but hideously old and unpleasant on the other. Exactly how the likeness of this familiar image to Chaucer's transformed Hag might have influenced the response of his audience to the Wife of Bath's Tale will be the subject of this essay. -
The Cult of St. Philomena in Nineteenth Century France: Art and Ideology
THE CULT OF ST. PHILOMENA IN NINETEENTH CENTURY FRANCE: ART AND IDEOLOGY NANCY DAVENPORT University of the Arts phenomenal scale of the widespread devotion, born of popular Thepiety and nurtured by French nineteenth century Ultramontane ideol- ogy, to an Early Christian martyr named Philomena is incontrovertible. The historical foundation for this devotion, the vita sancta, of a young Greek Christian who had refused the advances of the Emperor Diocletian in Rome and was, as a result, martyred in "the most severe and tragic manner" on his orders, is debatable.' Nonetheless, irrespective of fact or fiction or perhaps because of their indeterminacy, the cult of Philomena, a name often remarked on as meaning Bringer of Light, provides a model, similar to those at Lourdes and La Salette in the same period, of the way that unquestion- ing faith, when supported by a political agenda, could inspire an entire nation in the post-Enlightenment period. Wrote her devoted biographer, Jean Darche, early in this century, "Le monde est aveugle, est ignorant parce qu'il est orgueilleux, sensuel, avare et indifferent, et Philomene lui donne 1'exemple de la plus profonde humilite, de la plus parfaite mortification, du plus entier detachement, du plus grand zele pour la gloire de Dieu In the strictest sense of the standard vita sancta, what was singular about Philomena? To begin with, while she was similar to Bernadette of Lourdes or Therese of Lisieux in being young, female, innocent, and unworldly - in every respect a pure vessel for the transmission of heavenly grace - the latter two were known to be persons of flesh and blood locat- ed in time and space, whereas the 'person' Philomena was simply a con- struction : a generic Early Christian Virgin Martyr, formulated from the dreams of a pious nineteenth century Sicilian tertiary, Suor Maria Luisa di Gesu.
