Essay Cluster: “The Textual Cult of Richard Rolle: Writing Contemplation in Later Medieval England”
Resonant Charisma: Richard Rolle as Public Contemplative
Unlike other medieval English mystics, Richard Rolle does not tell us anything about what he saw in his rapturous experiences of the divine. There are no fantastic God-given images on which to meditate in his corpus, just as there are no clear equivalents to what Julian of Norwich called “words formed in [her] understanding,” such as her well-known teaching, “All manner of thing shall be well.” Instead, Rolle’s experiences involved his other sens…

Chaucer's Voys
IN THE PROLOGUE TO THE MILLER'S TALE, Chaucer apologizes for the tale's bawdy content by marking its speaker as a peasant-a cherl-a characterization supported by his physical description in the General Prologue.2 Most modern critics have read this set of marks as constitutive of the Miller's identity: the Miller is a churl. Yet Chaucer marks the Miller in other ways as well. The tale he tells is generically a fabliau, a form neither nor, for that…
