Aranye Fradenburg Joy, Committee Chair September 2018 Feeling Bureaucratic: Political Poetry, Affective Rhetoric, and Parliamentary Process in Late Medieval England Copyright © 2018 by Jonathan James Forbes iii Dedicated to my beloved uncle, Thomas H. Forbes. In memoriam. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project would not have been possible without the tremendous support of many colleagues, friends, and family throughout my time at UC Santa Barbara. I would first like to thank the members of my committee for seeing potential in this project from its inception and supporting it all the way to its completion. Endless thanks are due to my dear advisor, mentor, and friend, L.O. Aranye Fradenburg Joy. I thank her for all the years we have been thinking together. She helped to shape my mind—neuronally, intellectually, and affectively—and I can never thank her enough for her unending support of my growth and education and her belief in my ideas, no matter how wild they may be. I thank Heather Blurton, whose mentorship was key to my finishing this dissertation. I thank her for supporting me, even dragging me, across the finish line, and for all of the careful and thoughtful insight she offered along the way. To Jody Enders, I owe a special debt of gratitude for her belief in this project from our very first meeting. She saw potential that I could not see, and she shepherded me to a fuller, more interesting understanding of the problems I was tackling. I thank her for working with me and challenging me to become a better writer, thinker, and teacher. I would especially like to thank my friend and mentor, Eileen A. Fradenburg Joy, who showed me what it means to be a human in the Humanities. She has expanded what I thought possible in our field of Medieval Studies, and has enlivened me to push boundaries and take risks in my work and in my life. I thank her for our two-hour lunches, her friendship, and her faith in my project. I am grateful to a number of mentors and teachers at UC Santa Barbara who have supported me along the way, especially Julie Carlson, Felice Blake, Andrew Griffin, Jim Kearney, Edward D. English, Linda Adler-Kassner, Carol Braun v Pasternack, Anne Plane, and Mary Rae Staton. I thank them all for inspiring me and for making UCSB my intellectual home. I owe special thanks to all of my graduate student friends and colleagues who made this process enjoyable, especially Mary Jane Davis Kennedy, Can Aksoy, Alison Reed, Rebecca Chenoweth, Katie Adkison, and Elizabeth Floyd. Thank you also to my cohort of loyal medievalists, with whom I grew up in the program: Paul Megna, Megan Palmer, Shannon Meyer, Shay Hopkins, Rachel Levinson- Emley, S.C. Kaplan, Aria Dal Molin, Susan Schmidt, Joyce King, and Jessica Zisa. I also thank Kathy Lavezzo, Randy Schiff, and Patricia Ingham. You all have been part of my “felaweshipe,” and I am grateful that you were on this journey. I owe a number of thanks to the many scholars and colleagues that I have had the privilege of meeting and working with during my time in graduate school. I thank Emily Steiner for all of her helpful suggestions on my project. I thank Julie Orlemanski for reading and commenting on early drafts of my chapters. I thank Brantley Bryant for always taking a genuine interest in my work and for agreeing to work with me on exciting future projects. I thank Michael Miller, Catherine Boyer, and Delene Bliss for their collegial support and faith in my abilities as I finish this project. Perhaps my biggest debt of gratitude goes to my family and close friends, who have supported me long before this project and whose presence in my life was crucial to achieving my goal of a Ph.D. I thank my dear friend Michael King, who has always pushed my thinking in more interesting ways. I thank Barbara K. Ige for helping me get into graduate school in the first place. I owe a special thanks to Terrie Furukawa, who played a pivotal role throughout this project. I thank the members of my family for supporting me through the many years of graduate school. I owe many thanks to my grandmother (“Yia-yia” in Greek) vi Faye Poulos for always believing in me; to my godmother (“Nouna” in Greek) and aunt Estelle Underwood for being an example of open-mindedness and critical thinking from an early age; and my siblings Matthew Stangle, Holly Stangle, Nicholas Stangle, and Trevor Stangle for years of encouragement. I am happy to say that my answer to the question, “How many more years??” is finally: none. I owe a special thanks to my parents, Elaina and John Stangle; I cannot thank them enough for standing by me through successes and failures and loving me just the same. I especially thank my mother, Elaina, for being my most faithful advisor and for providing the undying love and support that it takes to complete a dissertation. I would also like to thank Anthony and Pamela McCants for their overwhelming support of this project. I thank them for their love, and for their faith in my work. In both sadness and love, I thank my recently departed uncle Thomas H. Forbes, to whom this dissertation is dedicated. He passed away on April 23, 2018, and was unable to see me complete this project. He is my intellectual hero; he taught me critical thinking and insisted on a passion for knowledge. I will miss our weekly phone calls. I thank my aunt Susan Mills for her undying support of my goals and her belief in my ability to complete this project. She inspires me. I also thank my late father, William D. Forbes, Jr., who always valued me and my education. And finally, I owe the deepest thanks to my partner, Kristen McCants. She pushed my thinking on this project daily, and always made it more interesting. She copy-edited my entire dissertation, and I cannot thank her enough. But more than that, she was my biggest supporter during this entire project, and I owe its completion to her. To everyone, I am forever grateful. vii Jonathan Forbes CURICULUM VITAE September 2018 7742 Jenna Drive Email: [email protected] Goleta, CA 93117 Phone: (805) 276-5440 Websites: www.english.ucsb.edu/people/forbes-jonathan https://ucsb.academia.edu/JonathanForbes EDUCATION PhD, English, University of California, Santa Barbara, 2018 Dissertation: “Feeling Bureaucratic: Political Poetry, Affective Rhetoric, and Parliamentary Process in Late Medieval England” Certificate of Emphasis in European Medieval Studies Committee: L.O.

Immigration and the Common Profit: Native Cloth Workers, Flemish Exiles, and Royal Policy in Fourteenth-Century London Bart Lambert and Milan Pajic Abstract This article reconstructs a crucial episode in the relationship between the English crown, its subjects and the kingdom’s immigrant population. It links the murder of about forty Flemings in London during the Peasants’ Revolt in June 1381 to the capital’s native cloth workers’ dissatisfaction with the government’s economic im- migration policy. We argue that, in the course of the fourteenth century, the crown de- veloped a new policy aimed at attracting skilled workers from abroad. Convinced that their activities benefited the common profit of the realm, the crown remained deaf to the concerns of London’s native weavers, who claimed that the work of exiled Flemish cloth workers in the city encroached on their privileges. Confronted for more than twenty-five years with political obstruction, the native weavers increasingly resorted to physical aggression against their Flemish counterparts, which came to a dra- matic conclusion in 1381. The dissatisfaction of London’s cloth workers and the mas- sacre of the Flemings thus had much in common with the frustrations over the royal government’s policy that had been fermenting for decades among many other groups in society: all came to the surface during the Peasants’ Revolt.

    MAINTAINING INJUSTICE: LITERARY REPRESENTATIONS OF THE LEGAL SYSTEM C1400 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kathleen Erin Kennedy, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Professor Richard Firth Green, Advisor Approved by Professor Lisa Kiser Professor Ethan Knapp ________________________ Professor Karen Winstead Department of English Copyright by Kathleen E. Kennedy 2004 ABSTRACT Medieval English authors often regard aspects of the legal system to be in conflict with an endemic cultural practice, maintenance. Simply put, maintenance was the payment of a form of salary to a high-level servant by a lord. The salary this servant (or affine) might receive could consist of cash-payments, gifts, or access to lucrative official positions, including the proxy enjoyment of some portion of the lord’s judicial rights. The more lavish the assistance, the more the lord honored the retainer. Obviously, the mutual ties of aid and loyalty between a lord and an affine threatened impartial justice at every level, and medieval authors strove both to bring its abuses to light, and to offer alternatives. Each of my chapters sheds light on how late fourteenth-century authors articulated the relationship between different legal institutions and maintenance. I begin by showing how the events in one of the more obscure Canterbury Tales, the Tale of Melibee, resemble a popular out-of-court settlement practice called accord. Chaucer blamed a contemporary practice called maintenance, the exchange of money and influence between a lord and a high-level servant, kinsman, or friend, for corrupting accords.

  • 1 Introducing Medieval Maintenance 1
    NOTES 1 Introducing Medieval Maintenance 1. Lest we believe that a positive perspective on gang activity is impos- sible, consider that a number of organizations, including the Mob and the Black Panthers, touted the community services they pro- vided. To see “organized crime” as entirely evil may be an expres- sion of American postwar middle-class culture, with its racialized veil of whiteness, rather than an unquestionable moral position. 2. Anthony Musson uses the term “Mafiosi,” but does so in arguing against it as an effective analogy in Public Order and Law Enforcement: The Local Administration of Criminal Justice 1294–1350 (Woodbridge, Suffolk: Boydell Press, 1996), p. 264. 3. Barbara Hanawalt, Crime and Conflict in English Communities, 1300– 1348 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1979), p. 221. It should be noted that by 1998, she chose to avoid the loaded term “Mafia” and used studies of white-collar crime to coin her own term, “fur-collar crime” for noble criminality in “Of Good and Ill Repute”: Gender and Social Control in Medieval England (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1998), especially Chapter 4. 4. British audiences are better off here, benefiting from a culture includ- ing a tradition of service. Anyone who wants to see this notion of service and its lack demonstrated might consider different readings of the famous relationship between J.R.R. Tolkien’s characters Frodo and Sam in the Lord of the Rings. British audiences recognize this rela- tionship as the close one between a traditional (perhaps stereotypical) master and servant. At the same time, lacking a similar tradition of service, this relationship appears to American audiences to be either an especially homosocial friendship or a homosexual couple.

  • “Pirates, Robbers and Other Malefactors”
    “Pirates, robbers and other malefactors” The role played by violence at sea in relations between England and the Hanse towns, 1385 – 1420 Submitted by William Marcus Edward Pitcaithly to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Maritime History, February 2011 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgment. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signed: 1 ABSTRACT The period 1385 – 1420 was an eventful and significant one in Anglo-Hanseatic relations. At its beginning, the English mercantile presence in the Hanse towns was only a few years old, and no real basis for a trading and diplomatic relationship had been arrived at, when an English act of aggression brought into play the issue of piracy and other violence at sea, which would henceforth be one of vital importance in Anglo- Hanseatic relations; it saw the heyday of several notorious pirates, and new policies for their suppression on both sides of the North Sea. Hitherto these years have been treated in this context only as part of examinations of much longer periods. I approach the subject thematically, with some chronological divisions within chapters, examining separately violence by English, Hansards, and third parties, non- violent reprisals, regional and social divisions within England and the Hanse, the Vitalienbrüder, the role of the law, and other factors.

    Animal Speech and Political Utterance: Articulating the Controversies of Late Fourteenth-Century England in Non-Human Voices Sharon Fulton Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Sharon Fulton All rights reserved ABSTRACT Animal Speech and Political Utterance: Articulating the Controversies of Late Fourteenth-Century England in Non-Human Voices Sharon Fulton This dissertation analyzes the function of animal speakers in political poetry by William Langland, Geoffrey Chaucer, and John Gower, and it claims that late fourteenth-century poets describe the marginalized voices of emerging politicians by using animal expressions and noises. These writers invent a playful yet earnest poetics of acknowledgment in comparing politicians’ calls to animal cries. In unveiling novel interpretations of Langland’s mouse, Chaucer’s goose, and Gower’s jay, I argue that the speeches of animals contribute to significant argumentative strains within several late fourteenth-century poems, which remain obscure if the reader ignores the signal contribution of the animal. Finally, I study the use of animal speech in the Lancastrian poem, Richard the Redeless, to understand the ways in which the anti-Ricardian regime appropriated this malleable animal imagery to pursue its own political agenda.
