Scenes of Writing in Romanesque and Gothic Sculpture and Stained Glass
Beginning with representations of written material—codices, charters, scrolls—in the legend of Theophilus, the jamb figures of Amiens, and the dados of Notre-Dame de Paris, we focus on scenes of actual writing. Authors or scribes appear in the archivolt of the tympanum of the narthex of Vézelay in the context of the evangelical spreading of the Word; in the archivolt of the Virgin Portal of Chartres in the context of the revival of Classical lear…

Augustine, Mallarmé, and the Medieval Roots of Modernity
Augustine, Mallarmé, and the Medieval Roots of Modernity R. Howard Bloch (bio) “Symbols, then, have a divine origin; it may be added that from the human point of view this form of teaching answers to one of the least disputable cravings of the human mind. Man feels a certain enjoyment in giving proof of his intelligence, in guessing the riddle thus presented to him, and likewise in preserving the hidden truth summed up in a visible formula, a per…

Frontality:The Imperial Look from Christ the Pantocrator to Napoleon Bonaparte R. Howard Bloch (bio) I began to think about the question of frontality in front of the scene of Harold's coronation as it figures in the Bayeux Tapestry, an embroidered account of the events leading up to the Norman Conquest of 1066 and of the Battle of Hastings, sewn most probably in the decades following the event itself [figure 1]. Panel 73 contains the only image …

Altérité et Animalité dans les Fables de Marie de France
Otherness and Animality in Marie de France's Fables Marie de France injects logic in relationships between animals: a logic which unveils the underlying power relation, but also suggests a higher form of rationality linking the strong and the weak in their own best interests, a logic of rationality, its transmissibility, and its pedagogy

Medieval Misogyny and the Invention of Western Romantic Love.
Until now the advent of Western romantic love has been seen as a liberation from--or antidote to--ten centuries of misogyny. In this major contribution to gender studies, R. Howard Bloch demonstrates how similar the ubiquitous antifeminism of medieval times and the romantic idealization of woman actually are. Through analyses of a broad range of patristic and medieval texts, Bloch explores the Christian construction of gender in which the flesh i…

Étymologies et généalogies: Théories de la langue, liens de parenté et genre littéraire au XIIIe siècle
Si le titre ci-dessus témoigne d'une certaine plénitude, c'est que le vieux rêve anthropologique d'union entre les lois linguistiques et les lois sociales n'a jamais été mieux réalisé que dans l'Occident médiéval.
