The theme of the `body and soul' relationship in medieval texts and
modern reworkings. The theme of the body-and-soul relationship in
medieval texts and in modern reworkings of medieval matter is
explored in the articles here, specifically the representation of
the body in romance; the relevance of bawdy tales to the cultural
experience of authors and readers in the middle ages; the function
of despair, or melancholy, in medieval and Renaissance literature;
and the political significance of late medieval representations of
`bodies' in the chroniclers' accounts of the Rising and in Gower's
poems. Two articles are devoted to modern retellings of medieval
themes: John Foxe's Acts and Monuments, seen in relation to the
traditional acta martyrum, and the medieval revival in Tory Britain
exemplified in Douglas Oliver's The Infant and the Pearl.
