Essays on a variety of topics in late medieval literature, linked
by an engagement with form. The insight that "the implications of
textuality as such" can and must underlie our interpretations of
literary works remains one of A.C. Spearing's greatest
contributions to medieval studies. It is a tribute to the breadth
and significance of his scholarship that the twelve essays gathered
in his honour move beyond his own methods and interests to engage
variously with "textuality as such," presenting a substantial and
expansive view of current thinking on form in late medieval
literary studies. Covering a range of topics, including the meaning
of words, "experientiality", poetic form and its cultural contexts,
revisions, rereadings, subjectivity, formalism and historicism,
failures of form, the dit, problems of editing lyrics, and
collective subjectivity in lyric, they offer a spectrum of the best
sort of work blossoming forth from close reading of the kind
Spearing was such an early advocate for,continues to press, and
which is now so central to medieval studies. Authors and works
addressed include Chaucer (The Canterbury Tales, Troilus and
Criseyde, The Legend of Good Women, "Adam Scriveyn", "To
Rosemounde", "TheComplaint Unto Pity"), Langland (Piers Plowman),
the Gawain-poet (Cleanness), Charles d'Orleans, Gower (Confessio
Amantis), and anonymous lyrics. Cristina Maria Cervone teaches
English literature and medieval studies at the University of
Memphis; D. Vance Smith is Professor of English at Princeton
University. Contributors: Derek Pearsall, Elizabeth Fowler, Claire
M. Waters, Kevin Gustafson, Michael Calabrese, David Aers,
Nicolette Zeeman, Jill Mann, D. Vance Smith, J.A. Burrow, Ardis
Butterfield, Cristina Maria Cervone, Peter Baker.
