Chaucerian Works in the English Renaissance: Editions and Imitations THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Chaucerian Works in the English Renaissance: Editions and Imitations A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of English School of Arts and Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Sean Gordon Lewis Washington, D.C. 2011 Chaucerian Works in the English Renaissance: Editions and Imitations Sean Gordon Lewis, Ph.D. Director: Michael Mack, Ph.D. Chaucerian Works in the English Renaissance: Editions and Imitations articulates the connection between editorial presentation and authorial imitation in order to solve a very specific problem: why were the comedic aspects of the works of Geoffrey Chaucer—aspects that appear to be central to his poetic sensibilities—so often ignored by Renaissance poets who drew on Chaucerian materials? While shifts in language, religion, politics, and poetic sensibilities help account for a predilection for prizing Chaucerian works of sentence (moral gravity), it does not adequately explain why a poet like Edmund Spenser—one of the age’s most unabashedly Chaucerian poets—would imitate comedic, works of solaas (literary pleasure) in a completely sententious manner. This dissertation combines bibliographic approaches with formal analysis of literary history, leading to a fuller understanding of the “uncomedying” of Chaucer by Renaissance editors and poets. This dissertation examines the rhetorical and aesthetic effects of editions of the works of Chaucer published between 1477 and 1602 (Caxton through Speght) as a means of understanding patterns of Chaucerian imitation by poets of the period. Although the most obvious shift in textual presentation is the change from printing single works to printing “Complete Works” beginning with the 1532 Thynne, I argue that choices made by the printing-house (in terms of layout, font, and, most specifically, editorial directions) had a gradual, cumulative effect of highlighting Chaucerian sentence at the expense of solaas . The ways in which Chaucerian texts were presented to be read throughout the Renaissance determined, to a great degree, how these texts were imitated. The evidence of this cumulative effect on poetic reception is seen in a thorough examination of the early editions of the poetry of John Skelton and Edmund Spenser, revealing that not only did the editorial rhetoric of Chaucerian editions in the English Renaissance mold the ways in which poets responded to Chaucer, but that in the case of Edmund Spenser, Spenser’s poetic imitations of Chaucer led to major shifts in editorial presentation of Chaucer’s works in the beginning of the seventeenth century. This dissertation by Sean Gordon Lewis fulfills the dissertation requirement for the doctoral degree in English Literature approved by Michael Mack, Ph.D., as Director, and by Tobias Gregory, Ph.D. and Daniel Gibbons, Ph.D. as Readers. ______________________________________________________ Michael Mack, Ph.D., Director ______________________________________________________ Tobias Gregory, Ph.D., Reader ______________________________________________________ Daniel Gibbons, Ph.D., Reader ii Dedication This dissertation is dedicated in the first place to my teachers: to my parents, Gordon and Maureen Lewis, and to my teachers at the University of Dallas, Oxford University, and the Catholic University of America, particularly Greg Roper, Scott Crider, John R.

Tuke alludes to the project in his preface at the beginning of Thynne’s 1532 edition of Chaucer’s Works: Amonges other / the Grekes in all kyndes of scie[n]ces / semed so to preuayle and so to ornate their tonge / as yet by other of right noble languages can nat be perfitely ymitated or folowed. so hath there nat lacked amo[n]ges vs Englissh men / whiche haue right well and notably endeuoyred and employed them selues / to the beautifying and bettryng of thenglysh tonge. 1 The technical rhetorics and poetic manuals that flourished in the period—those of Wilson, Gascoigne, and Puttenham 2—speak of this ennobling project in English letters. Writers seeking both to ennoble English and solidify its status as a national literary language faced a problem, however, a problem that several of the examples above suggest: insofar as English literature was to be national , it had to be grounded in works of English antiquity, works of Medieval literature. 1 William Thynne, “The Preface” to his 1532 edition of the Workes ; in STC 5068, fol. A2r, A2v. 2 See Thomas Wilson, The Art of Rhetoric , ed. Peter E. Medine (University Park, PA: Pennsylvania State University Press, 1994; original edition, London, 1560); George Gascoigne, Certayn Notes of Instruction , in The Complete Works of George Gascoigne , ed. John W. Cunliffe, 2 volumes (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1910); George Puttenham, The Art of English Poesy , ed. Frank Whigham and Wayne. A Reborn (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 2007; original edition, London, 1591). 1 2 In an age when historical pedigree was proof of worth, 3 medieval literature had to be recognized in some way. At the same time, insofar as English letters and language were to be “beautified and bettered,” the rude rhythms and rhymes of medieval English—an English that was growing less and less familiar to English readers and writers 4—had to be softened along continental and classical models; in this respect, the medieval past had to be jettisoned. The religious controversies of the sixteenth century complicated the matter further, since by the century’s end the national literature was to exemplify the Protestant character of the country, a Protestant character to which an author from medieval Catholic England was not well suited. In the face of such difficult aims—founding a national literature on a Catholic medieval past that is at once hallowed and rude—it is no surprise that we find levels of disagreement as to the means: were English writers to repudiate medieval letters to the damage of ancient pedigree, 5 or should they put it to use in new ways? 3 Consider the continued prevalence of foundation myths throughout the Renaissance: Brutus founding Britain, King Alfred founding Oxford, et al. 4 An example of the increasing foreignness of medieval English is given by Bishop Godfrey Goodman in his 1616 work The Fall of man, or the corruption of Nature (STC12022.7), in which he notes the difficulty of Chaucerian language for Englishmen of his day. For more on Chaucer’s English and English in the Renaissance, see E.J. Dobson, English Pronunciation, 1500-1700 (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1968), as well as Simon Horobin, The Language of the Chaucer Tradition (Cambridge and Rochester, NY: D.S. Brewer, 2003). 5 Sidney and Jonson are particularly critical on this point. Sidney: “Chaucer, undoubtedly, did excellently in his Troilus and Cressida ; of whom, truly, I know not whether to marvel more, either that he in that misty time could see so clearly, or that we in this clear age walk so stumblingly after him. Yet had he great wants, fit to be forgiven in so reverent antiquity . That same framing of his style to an old rustic language I dare not allow, since neither Theocritus in Greek, Virgil in Latin, nor Sannazzaro in Italian did affect it.” An Apology for Poetry , in Criticism: The Major Texts , ed. Walter Jackson Bate (New York: Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich, Inc., 1970; original 1952), 102. Jonson: “Beware of letting them [writers] taste Gower , or Chaucer at first, lest falling too much in love with Antiquity, and not apprehending the weight, they grow rough and barren in language onely. Spencer , in affecting the Ancients writ no Language; Yet I would have him read for his matter; but as Virgil read Ennius .” Timber: Or, Discoveries , in Criticism: The 3 In attempting to come to grips with this English Renaissance project of responding to the past to create a new present literary tradition, Geoffrey Chaucer is a figure who plays a central role. Consistently popular and imitated throughout fifteenth- century England, 6 Chaucer was printed by Caxton and others at the very beginning of the Renaissance in England and seemed to enjoy popularity in Henry VIII’s court. 7 Thynne’s edition of 1532 the Works of Chaucer, as we saw above, was purportedly completed for the purpose of beautifying English letters. 8 As the sixteenth century progressed and the Chaucerian canon grew with subsequent Renaissance editions, 9 we find Spenser pointing to Chaucer as a model and father of English letters10 —a position seconded by the increasing convention of naming Chaucer among other famous poets (usually to increase the fame of a living poet).

  • Amanda Holton University of Reading
    Chaucer and Pronominatio Amanda Holton University of Reading Pronominatio, or antonomasia, is the replacement of a proper noun with another noun or adjective or a periphrastic formulation, such as 'Cristes mooder' for Mary.] I apply the term only when the reader needs some knowledge outside the immediate context in order to understand the reference and when the name itself is not given at all in surrounding lines. 2 Pronominatio is a fairly common figure in classical and medieval literature, and Chaucer encountered it in a number of his sources; indeed this article, while it focuses on Chaucer's practice, also indicates how it is used in a range of his sources and analogues. The figure is discussed in various classical and medieval rhetorical manuals, featuring, for example, in the Rhetorica Ad Herennium and in Quintilian' s /nstitutio oratoria3 Chaucer's own use of it as a freestanding figure is sparse, highly selective and often pointed, and reveals mixed feelings about its potential, for he is very conscious of how it can express both grandeur and pomposity, splendour and insincerity. After discussing Chaucer's preferred methods of denoting people and places, this article examines how his use of pronominatio relates to his response to Virgil, and, by extension, how he uses the figure as a marker of epic style in several texts. It then demonstrates how he exploits its more negative possibilities when denoting Diomede in Troilus and Criseyde and Mary in the Prioress's Tale. On the whole Chaucer shows a strong preference for simple and direct naming, and will often reject pronominatio even when he encounters it in a source he otherwise favours stylistically.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: MAKING ENGLISH LOW: A
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: MAKING ENGLISH LOW: A HISTORY OF LAUREATE POETICS, 1399-1616 Christine Maffuccio, Doctor of Philosophy, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Theresa Coletti Department of English My dissertation analyzes lowbrow literary forms, tropes, and modes in the writings of three would-be laureates, writers who otherwise sought to align themselves with cultural and political authorities and who themselves aspired to national prominence: Thomas Hoccleve (c. 1367-1426), John Skelton (c. 1460-1529), and Ben Jonson (1572-1637). In so doing, my project proposes a new approach to early English laureateship. Previous studies assume that aspiration English writers fashioned their new mantles exclusively from high learning, refined verse, and the moral virtues of elite poetry. In the writings and self-fashionings that I analyze, however, these would-be laureates employed literary low culture to insert themselves into a prestigious, international lineage; they did so even while creating personas that were uniquely English. Previous studies have also neglected the development of early laureateship and nationalist poetics across the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries. Examining the ways that cultural cachet—once the sole property of the elite—became accessible to popular audiences, my project accounts for and depends on a long view. My first two chapters analyze writers whose idiosyncrasies have afforded them a marginal position in literary histories. In Chapter 1, I argue that Hoccleve channels Chaucer’s Host, Harry Bailly, in the Male Regle and the Series. Like Harry, Hoccleve draws upon quotidian London experiences to create a uniquely English writerly voice worthy of laureate status. In Chapter 2, I argue that Skelton enshrine the poet’s own fleeting historical experience in the Garlande of Laurell and Phyllyp Sparowe by employing contrasting prosodies to juxtapose the rhythms of tradition with his own demotic meter.

  • Chaucer and Bawdy
    Chaucer and Bawdy G. R. Simes RANCE. Had you committed the act you wouldn't now be facing the charge. PRENTICE. I couldn't commit the act. I'm a heterosexual. RANCE. I wish you wouldn't use these Chaucerian words. It's most confusing. Joe Onon, What the Butler Saw (1969), p. 55. The reputation of a medieval poet is such that a successful dramatist of the 1960s could rely on the mere mention of his name to convey to the audience of the play the ideas of naughtiness and bawdy. Presumably the expansion of senior-secondary and tertiary education after World War II, the gradual relaxation of sexual mores, and the ready availability of a lively translation of the Canterbury Tales had all been factors_ that contributed to a popular dissemination of Chaucer's reputation for bawdiness. If that is so, it occurred in the absence of scholarly activity and interest in the topic. It is true that Chaucer shares with Shakespeare the singular honour of having a book devoted to his bawdy; yet that book was published as recently as 1972 and, modelling itself on Partridge's pioneering work on Shakespeare, takes the form of discursive glosses, apart from a brief, conceptually uncritical introduction. I In general, before the later 1960s, while many medievalists privately took pleasure in Chaucer's treatment of sexual and excretory matters, they did not write upon this aspect of his work with the same unembarrassed candour that the poet himself had shown. Among general readers this aspect of Chaucer, and to an extent Chaucer's very name, was very often an occasion for sniggering.

  • Evolution and Ambition in the Career of Jan Lievens (1607-1674)
    ABSTRACT Title: EVOLUTION AND AMBITION IN THE CAREER OF JAN LIEVENS (1607-1674) Lloyd DeWitt, Ph.D., 2006 Directed By: Prof. Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr. Department of Art History and Archaeology The Dutch artist Jan Lievens (1607-1674) was viewed by his contemporaries as one of the most important artists of his age. Ambitious and self-confident, Lievens assimilated leading trends from Haarlem, Utrecht and Antwerp into a bold and monumental style that he refined during the late 1620s through close artistic interaction with Rembrandt van Rijn in Leiden, climaxing in a competition for a court commission. Lievens’s early Job on the Dung Heap and Raising of Lazarus demonstrate his careful adaptation of style and iconography to both theological and political conditions of his time. This much-discussed phase of Lievens’s life came to an end in 1631when Rembrandt left Leiden. Around 1631-1632 Lievens was transformed by his encounter with Anthony van Dyck, and his ambition to be a court artist led him to follow Van Dyck to London in the spring of 1632. His output of independent works in London was modest and entirely connected to Van Dyck and the English court, thus Lievens almost certainly worked in Van Dyck’s studio. In 1635, Lievens moved to Antwerp and returned to history painting, executing commissions for the Jesuits, and he also broadened his artistic vocabulary by mastering woodcut prints and landscape paintings. After a short and successful stay in Leiden in 1639, Lievens moved to Amsterdam permanently in 1644, and from 1648 until the end of his career was engaged in a string of important and prestigious civic and princely commissions in which he continued to demonstrate his aptitude for adapting to and assimilating the most current style of his day to his own somber monumentality.

Stephen’s, Providence The Good, The True, & the Beautiful: Lost and Won on the Wood of a Tree Peter Paul Rubens and Jan Brueghel, The Garden of Eden with the Fall of Man (1617) ow the serpent was more subtle than any other wild creature that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, N“Did God say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden’?” 2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” 4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not die. 5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons. Genesis 3.1-7 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” * We think that Paradise and Calvarie, All are corrupt and commit abominable acts; Christs Cross and Adams tree, stood in one place; there is none who does any good.
