What is consolation and why is mourning so often bound up with
erotic desire? This collection of essays explores consolation and
mourning in the varied, sometimes provocative, readings of Boethius
and of Stoic consolation by French, English, Italian and German
authors, including Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Machaut, Chaucer,
Wyatt and Queen Elizabeth I. The contributors consider how they
remodeled the discourse of consolation through parody and satire,
interrogating the limits of a consolatory rhetoric.
