Sarah Elliott Novacich explores how medieval thinkers pondered the
ethics and pleasures of the archive. She traces three episodes of
sacred history - the loss of Eden, the loading of Noah's ark, and
the Harrowing of Hell - across works of poetry, performance
records, and iconography in order to demonstrate how medieval
artists turned to sacred history to think through aspects of
cultural transmission. Performances of the loss of Eden blur the
relationship between original and record; stories of Noah's ark
foreground the difficulty of compiling inventories; and engagements
with the Harrowing of Hell suggest the impossibility of separating
the past from the present. Reading Middle English plays alongside
chronicles, poetry, and works of visual art, Shaping the Archive in
Late Medieval England considers how poetic form, staging logistics,
and the status of performance all contribute to our understanding
of the ways in which medieval thinkers imagined the archive.
