Description

By focusing on one literary character, as interpreted in both verbal art and visual art at a point midway in time between the author's era and our own, this study applies methodology appropriate for overcoming limitations posed by historical periodization and by isolation among academic specialities. Current trends in Chaucer scholarship call for diachronic afterlife studies like this one, sometimes termed "medievalism." So far, however, nearly all such work by-passes the eighteenth century (here designated 1660-1810). Furthermore, medieval authors' afterlives during any time period have not been analyzed by way of the multiple fields of specialization integrated into this study. The Wife of Bath is regarded through the disciplinary lenses of eighteenth-century literature, visual art, print marketing, education, folklore, music, equitation, and especially theater both in London and on the Continent. Review The Wife of Bath in Afterlife is a forensic examination of one character in one period. However, Bowden delves into each case study so expansively that at the end of reading the book, the reader has been immersed in many different eighteenth-century cultural worlds. This is an immensely learned and valuable book that dares to be different and, as a result, breaks new ground.--Speculum: A Journal of Medieval Studies Providing a stunning survey of the Wife of Bath's afterlife in the long eighteenth century, Betsy Bowden offers nuanced readings of translations, modernizations, stage plays, book illustrations, and artistic representations. This is an important contribution to Chaucer's reception history, attesting to the centrality of the Wife of Bath in the poet's continuing canonicity.--Kathleen Forni, Professor of English, Loyola University About the Author Betsy Bowden is professor emerita of English at Rutgers University.
