Description

Product Description Olde Clerkis Speche affirms both the historical legitimacy and the interpretive benefits of reading Troilus and Criseyde as if the text were initially composed for Chaucer’s own recital before a familiar audience. Proposing a qualification rather than contradiction of the ""persona"" as a reading premise, Quinn revitalises the interpretive context of Chaucer’s original performance milieu.The central five chapters offer a ""close hearing"" of the possible tonal strategies of each book of Troilus and Criseyde during actual recital. Particular attention is given to expressions now normally overlooked, phrasing that does not advance the modern reader’s appreciation of plot or character development or theme; such ""filler"" did, however, once offer Chaucer's own ""reader response"" (or ennaratio) during the recital event. These five chapters simultaneously evaluate the probability that Chaucer himself revised each recital instalment for subsequent manuscript circulation. All together, these chapters provide a sustained case study of the interplay between the author's anticipations of recital presence and textual absence. Although this study does not pretend to detail an inaugural staging of Troilus and Criseyde, it does attend to the histrionic potential of Chaucer's own ""speche/ In poetrie"" (T&C V. 1854-5).The final chapter discusses how such a recital premise impacts several current controversies among Chaucerians, including the dating of Chaucer's individual acts of composition, the underlying assumptions regarding the ""publication"" of each text, the editorial imposition of punctuation on the manuscript record, and the poet’s increasing anxiety regarding his future absence from the reading event. Olde Clerkis Speche will be of interest to all readers of Chaucer as well as everyone interested in performance theory and the history of reading. Review William Quinn argues convincingly that any Chaucerian text was initially composed for authorial recital and then revised for manuscript circulation -- and at the same time he brings Chaucer to life as though you could hear him."" - Terry Jones, Monty Python and Medievalist About the Author William Quinn is professor of English at University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. He is the author of Chuacer’s Rehersynges: The Performability of the Legend of Good Women, also available from CUA Press.
