Filming the Middle Ages, by Bettina Bildhauer, London, Reaktion Books, 2011, 264 pp., £25.00 (hardback), ISBN 9781861898081. Bettina Bildhauer's rigorously argued and researched book proposes that
Cosmopolitanism, Sovereignty and Medievalism
This essay attempts to bring into conversation two unlikely bodies of writing. One of these bodies of writing dates from the Middle Ages and might loosely described as medieval travel writing. This literature has been the subject of much recent study, because it addresses one of the first sustained engagements of the West and the East. The other body of writing emerges from recent political thought, in which the responsibilities of individuals an…
Cosmopolitanism and Medievalism
Cosmopolitan ideas flourished during the Enlightenment, which also viewed the Middle Ages as antithetical to such ideas. However, some recent representations of the Middle Ages in film and literature focus on heroic defenses of cosmopolitan ideals in the Middle Ages. This essay surveys some arguments about medieval cosmopolitanism and concludes that cosmopolitan and anti-cosmopolitan positions often existed simultaneously within the same discours…

The Middle Ages as Genre
The story of the study of romance is in many ways the master narrative of the study of medieval literature and of medieval culture in general. Within the study of medieval romance, from its earliest inception, is a peculiar political dialectic, involving fantasies of race, gender, and power. The definition of romance in England (and elsewhere) starts with an obsession with origins, as one would expect of a genre of doubtful legitimacy. Inscribed …
The Middle Ages as Display
T he study of medieval literature at the end of the nineteenth century expands rapidly at the same time that the developing field of anthropology demonstrates a great interest in performances and rituals of what were regarded as primitive or decadent cultures, and in some subtle and some obvious ways, medieval literature and ethnic theatricality were thought of as analogous to one another. Moreover, at the same time that detailed literary scholar…
The Middle Ages as Genealogy, or, the White Orient
T his chapter describes a peculiar tributary in the stream of discourse linking the Medieval with the Oriental. With the rise of humanism, skepticism arises about the legend of the Trojan foundation of Britain, as recounted in Geoffrey of Monmouth. With the rise of parliamentary debates, uneasiness about the aristocratic apology implicit in the linking of chivalry with Trojan origins, and with Geoffrey’s account of royal lineage also grows. The r…

Gower, Liminality, and the Politics of Space
This essay studies John Gower's use of language related to place and space, and to the establishment of narrative settings, largely in the Confessio Amantis. Gower's representation of space in the establishment of landscape and place is notable for its liminality, Many of these liminal scenes are the most memorable narrative transitions in the entire work. The Vox Clamantis also projects liminal spaces, more expected in the dream-vision format, b…
"Hoccleve's "Regiment of Princes: Counsel and Constraint . Nicholas Perkins
Native Studies: Orientalism and Medievalism
In the climactic scene of The Book of Saladin, the liberator of Jerusalem accepts the surrender of the city from its Christian garrison: "Tell your people," Salah al-Din told him, "that we shall not treat them as your forebears treated us when they first took this city As a child I was told of what Godfrey and Tancredi did to our people. Remind these frightened Christians of what Believers and Jews suffered ninety years ago. The heads of our chil…

Gender and Language in Chaucer
Chaucer and the Politics of Discourse
The author believes that for Chaucer speech is the heart of culture and that his major work comprises a copious and subtle analysis of the spoken word. By paying close attention to this underlying view of discourse and to Chaucer's fascination with communication as a reciprocal process between speaker and listener, Grudin provides unexpected readings of Chaucer's poetry. These diverge radically from conventional dramatic interpretations and from …

Chaucer and the Noise of the People
Tone and Time in Chaucer's Troilus
Things change. This is one of the few of its commonplaces which remains unscathed by the action of Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde. For the fact that things do change is, alas, at the heart of Chaucer's tragedie. It is also central to our experience of the poem, for mutability, besides being a theme in this story, is also what makes a plot go forward. Sub specie aeternitatis, this world can be perceived not as a narrative but as a vision, which is…
