基本説明
The scope of the present volume is to examine the manner in which some of the leading medieval writers in a number of literary genres engaged with the Stoical discourse of consolation as mediated through the writings of Seneca, Cicero and Boethius. More specifically, the focus of this collection considers how they remodeled the discourse of consolation through parody and satire, thereby interrogating the limits of a consolatory rhetoric that proposed the possibility of the separation of the physical from the mental, and of the affective from the cognitive realms.
Full Description
This collection of essays explores consolation and mourning in the varied, sometimes provocative, readings of Boethius and of Stoic consolation by French, English, Italian and German authors, including Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Machaut, Chaucer, Wyatt and Queen Elizabeth I.
