The Legacy of Boethius in Medieval England: The Consolation and its Afterlives (Hardcover)

The study of Boethius's medieval reception has enjoyed a resurgence of interest in recent years, with the publication of new editions, translations, databases, and research reshaping our understanding of his profound influence. This study offers the first holistic survey of the reworkings of the Consolation in medieval England, surveying the Old English Boethius together with Chaucer's Boece and a host of understudied interlocutors for the first time in a volume of this kind. Arranged into sections on "earlier" and "later" periods, The Legacy of Boethius argues for a reassessment of the medieval English Boethian tradition as a 600-year continuum in vernacular reading and readership.
