Content:
This unique and exciting collection, inspired by the scholarship of literary critic Stephanie Trigg, offers cutting-edge responses to the writings of Geoffrey Chaucer for the current critical moment. The chapters are linked by the organic and naturally occurring affinities that emerge from Trigg's ongoing legacy; containing diverse methodological approaches and themes, they engage with Chaucer through ecocriticism, medieval literary and historical criticism, and medievalism. The contributors, trailblazing international specialists in their respective fields, honour Trigg's distinctive and energetic mode of enquiry (the symptomatic long history) and intellectual contribution to the humanities. At the same time, their approaches exemplify shifting trends in Chaucer scholarship. Like Chaucer's pilgrims, these scholars speak to and alongside each other, but their essays are also attentive to 'hearing Chaucer speak' then, now and in the future.
Content:
"For 700 years, Geoffrey Chaucer has spoken to scholars and amateurs alike. How does his work speak to us in the twenty-first century? Within the fluctuating trends of the critical moment, this volume provides a unique vantage point for responding to this question, furnished by the signature intellectual framework of pioneering medieval literature scholar Stephanie Trigg: the symptomatic long history. While Trigg's scholarship acts as a springboard for the vibrant conversations in this collection, each chapter offers an inspiring extension of her legacy. The outstanding contributors delve into a diverse range of subjects that frequently cross boundaries. Formerly rigid demarcations surrounding medieval literary studies give way to an increasingly fluid interplay between Chaucer within his medieval context; medievalism and ‘reception’; the rigours of scholarly research and the recognition of amateur engagement with the past; the significance of the history of emotions; and the connection between textuality, subjectivity and the world they inhabit." --Back cover.
