Full textAbstract:
In fourteenth-century England, a form of lay spirituality emerged, influenced by the writings and example of the famous mystics, both English and continental, of that period, but much affected by other developments as well. Against the background of socio-economic and political change, the emergence of lay spirituality is examined, with particular emphasis upon continuity and change within the church, the religious instruction of the age, and the spirituality of the English mystics. Finally, the sole surviving written record of lay spirituality of the period, The Book of Margery Kempe, is investigated, along with its author, Margery Kempe - pilgrim, visionary, and aspiring mystic.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis interprets The Book of Margery Kempe using a medieval medical approach. Through an interdisciplinary methodology based on a medical humanities framework, the thesis explores the significance of Kempe’s painful experiences through a broad survey of the human life cycle, as understood in medieval culture. In exploring the interplay of humoral theory, medical texts, religious instruction and life cycle taxonomies, it illustrates the porousness of medicine and religion in the Middle Ages and the symbiotic relationship between spiritual and corporeal health. In an age when the circulation of medical texts in the English vernacular was increasing, scholastic medicine not only infiltrated religious houses but also translated into lay praxis. Ideas about the moral and physical nature of the human body were thus inextricably linked, based on the popular tradition of Christus medicus. For this reason, the thesis argues that Margery Kempe’s pain, experience and controversial performances amongst her euen-cristen were interpreted in physiological and medical terms by her onlookers, as ‘pain-interpreters’. It also offers a new transcription of the recipe from B.L. Add. MS 61823, f.124v, and argues for its importance as a way of reading the text as an ‘illness narrative’ which depicts Margery Kempe’s spiritual journey from sickness to health. The chapters examine Kempe’s humoral constitution and predisposition to mystical perceptivity, her crying, her childbearing and married years, her menopausal middle age of surrogate reproductivity, and her elderly life stage. Medical texts such as the Trotula, the Sekenesse of Wymmen and the Liber Diversis Medicinis help to shed light on the ways in which medieval women’s bodies were understood. The thesis concludes that, via a ‘pain surrogacy’ hermeneutic, Kempe is brought closer to a knowledge of pain which is transformational, just as she transforms through the stages of the life cycle.

Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation, I examine the various ways in which medieval authors used the term "lollard" to mean something other than "Wycliffite." In the case of William Langland's Piers Plowman, I trace the usage of the lollard-trope through the C-text and link it to Langland's dependence on the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares. Regarding Chaucer's Parson's Tale, I establish the orthodoxy of the tale's speaker by comparing his tale to contemporaneous texts of varying orthodoxy, and I link the Parson's being referred to as a "lollard" to the eschatological message of his tale. In the chapter on The Book of Margery Kempe, I examine that the overemphasis on Margery's potential Wycliffism causes everyone in The Book to overlook her heretical views on universal salvation. Finally, in comparing some of John Lydgate's minor poems with the macaronic sermons of Oxford, MS Bodley 649, I establish the orthodox character of late-medieval English anti-Wycliffism that these disparate works share. In all, this dissertation points up the eschatological character of the lollard-trope and looks at the various ends to which medieval authors deployed it.

Full textAbstract:
My thesis project is an adaptation of The Book of Margery Kempe into the form of a play. Considered to be the first autobiography in English, The Book of Margery Kempe tells the story of Margery Kempe, a fourteenth century woman who experienced visions of God, Jesus and the Devil and who became famous in England as a religious mystic. Her visions inspired her to travel alone throughout England, Europe and the Middle East and meet with some of the most powerful religious figures of her time. She inspired controversy through weeping copiously during religious ceremonies and speaking publicly of her visions and was put on trial at York, Cawood and Leicester for heresy. Margery Kempe recorded her experiences in the form of a book with the aid of a priest, as she was illiterate. Her book is one of the few existing examples of medieval women’s writing, and provides a unique insight into the treatment of individuals who experienced visions during the medieval era. My play examines how the tradition of female mystical piety influenced Margery Kempe’s interpretation of her visions, and how her experience relates to that of individuals today who are diagnosed with conditions such as schizophrenia, temporal lobe epilepsy, postnatal psychosis and postnatal depression. In considering the latter, through the support of my supervisory committee member Dr. Todd Handy, I have read scholarly work from the fields of neuroscience and psychology. My play does not seek to diagnose Margery Kempe from the perspective of neuroscience and psychology, but rather to imagine how her experience of having visions might relate to that of individuals who are diagnosed with psychiatric and neurological conditions that are associated with hallucinations today. My play juxtaposes modern psychological perspectives on the phenomenon of hallucinations with medieval Christian beliefs regarding visions to demonstrate how cultural attitudes affect the treatment and perception of symptoms associated with madness, and how Margery Kempe coped with experiencing visions that set her apart from the rest of her community.Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies

Torn, Alison. "Madness and narrative understanding : a comparison of two female firsthand narratives of madness in the pre and post enlightenment periods." Thesis, University of Bradford, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/10454/3352.
Full textAbstract:
This study uses a narrative analytic approach to explore the similarities and differences between pre-Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment firsthand accounts of madness in order to answer the question; what is the relationship between madness, narrative, understanding, identity and recovery? Drawing on the work of Foucault, the research traces the historical and cultural development of conceptualisations of reason and unreason, the rise of psychiatry and the marginalisation of the voice of madness. I argue that this marginalisation is continued in narrative research where the focus is on the stories of the physically ill, rather than madness. The narrative method provides a means of giving space to these marginalised voices and it is Bakhtin's constructs of dialogicism, polyphony, unfinalizability and the chronotope that provide the tools for the narrative analysis of two female English writers; Margery Kempe and Mary Barnes. The analysis highlights three critical issues in relation to firsthand narratives of madness. First, the blurred boundaries between madness and mysticism and the role of metaphor in understanding distressing experiences. Second, the complex, multi-dimensional nature of subjective timespace that challenges the linear assumptions underlying both narrative and recovery, which, I argue, demands a radical reconceptualisation of both constructs. Third, the liminal social positioning within the analysed accounts is closely related to Bakhtin's notion of unfinalizability, a form of being that enables the search for meaning and the transformation of the self. Insights can be gained from this research that may place stories and understanding central in contemporary healthcare.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is a critical analysis of identity in literature within the historical context of the theopolitical climate in England between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. The narratives under consideration are the Lais of Marie de France, The Canterbury Tales, and The Book of Margery Kempe. A focus on the business of theology and the Church’s political influence on identity will highlight these lay writers’ artistic shaping of theopolitical ideas into literature. Conducting a literary analysis on the application of theopolitical ideas by these lay writers encourages movement beyond the traditional exegetical interpretation of their narratives and furthers our determination of lay intellectual attitudes toward theology and its political purposes in the development of identity and society.

Margery thanks her scribe for making the “trewe sentens” “in hys maner of wrytyng & spellyng” (made the true sentences in his manner of writing and spelling), but his manner is “not clerly ne opynly to owr maner of spekyng” (not clearly and openly in accordance with our manner of speaking). If The Book cannot present the exact truth for Margery, where might be the “trewe sentens” in her “maner of wrytyng & spellyng”? From the relation between readers and writers, between reading and writing the authority in the Middle Ages is born a translation of desire and failure from medieval writers to readers. In this translation of desire lies a crucial struggle with body and language─the two primary media in human representation. The struggles compel writers to transplant in their readers a readerly desire for the authority and at the same time spur them to search for new media of body and language: the de-fleshed body that is devoid of its sensual natures and the de-languaged language that is empty of arbitrary signifier-signified relation and misleading rhetoric. It is with these two media: the de-languaged language of crying and tears and the de-fleshed body of compulsion, that Margery translates her divine visionary text into wonder and marvel in the eyes of her audience. Like masses, Margery’s crying spectacle, with its de-languaged crying language and defleshed compulsive body, creates a signifier of fear that allows the audience experience the presence, and acquire the knowledge, of God, while fear is the beginning of the unknowable, the uncertainty, and the beginning of the knowledge of God for medieval Christians.

The thesis is aimed at shedding new light on the issue of textuality of The Book of Margery Kempe. Concentrating my discussion on the cooperation between Margery Kempe and her transcribers, especially the second one, I hope to demonstrate the possibility of fulfilling a victory, though limited in scale, on the part of Kempe in a skirmish of textual—and gender—politics. As a priest who was supposed to safeguard the supremacy of the official Church in the interpretation of the Bible at any cost, the second scribe was in charge of ensuring the ideological purity of his dictator. Yet this didn’t preclude Kempe from actively intervening in the construction of her autobiography. In the complicated relationship between the two parties, I would like to argue that Kempe was the one to take the lead and gain control over her male partner—which not only reflected her authorship and authority, but also bespoke her subjectivity in an era dominated primarily by male clerics. In the first chapter, I analyze the issue of texuality of the Book to point out the laxity of the second scribe in the verification of Kempe’s self-claimed holiness. In the second part of my thesis, I turn to discuss the priest-scribe in relation to the contemporary social-religious circumstances to explain why he would be willing to help a controversial figure transcribe an equally controversial text. In the final portion of the thesis, I firstly argue that the modern definition of “literacy” is far from an apt measure to account for Kempe’s agency as displayed in the writing of the Book. In addition, she resorted to her physicality as another language to lay claim to a higher status as a real mystic. Through Imitatio Christi, Kemp made a step beyond the clerical surveillance and allowed her cries and screams to reverberate not only in the Book, but throughout the entire human history as well.

This thesis aims to examine Margery’s body and spirituality in The Book of Margery Kempe so as to better understand the late medieval female piety. Margery practices late medieval piety to devote to Christ’s humanity and to give her body an extraordinary religious meaning. Margery manipulates her body to parallel with Christ’s body: her practicing asceticism, affective piety and imitatio Christi, attribute to her goal of inscribing Christ’s image on her body. Chapter One aims at the exploration of the relationship between Margery’s body and spirituality, and argues why and how Margery demonstrates her faith and spirituality through her body. Chapter Two further examines Margery’s body and its relationship with Christ’s body. Christ as a human provides a paradigm for Margery’s flesh to be intimate with his flesh. Margery constantly receives Eucharist, and her practice of affective piety and imitatio Christi enable her body to coordinate in Christ’s body. By aligning her body with Christ’s body, Margery validates her body and spirituality. Chapter Three tackles with the issue of Margery’s rhetoric, body and authority. Margery’s “dalyawns,” which are her spiritual dialogues with Christ, empower her to speak out her voice. Margery ingeniously uses her rhetoric to illustrate her belief in transubstantiation and shows that she does not preach, she only teaches about God. Margery bolsters the ecclesiastical authority when it is attacked by the heresy, and through Christ’s authority in her words the Church’s authority is sustained. Margery’s body and spirituality are inseparable. Her somatic experiences display her spiritual transformation and manifests that flesh is the access to the divine. Margery’s Book provides us an insight into the late medieval female piety where women’s somatic experiences like illness, pain, trances, levitations, stigmata, and holy anorexia, were valued by them to parallel the events in Christ’s life.

Margery’s peculiar life has been considered by critics as a sign of her madness with no solid self-knowledge or a performance/disguise. This thesis rereads The Book of Margery Kempe in the context of the mystical tradition and Kierkegaardian discourse to explore what effort Margery makes to verify the sources of her self-knowledge and live her true self by presenting various self-images built upon her verified self-knowledge. The second chapter aims to trace how Kempe acquires her self-knowledge. Her effort will be studied as an application of the tradition of discretio spirituum, which helps her to verify whether her spiritual visions are from God or the devil. Furthermore, Margery’s pride will be examined as an obstacle to her understanding of herself. Finally, the chapter will explore how Margery can even be qualified to verify the sources of her self-knowledge and still keep a clear head in face of confusing messages about her true self. The third chapter examines why even with the right kind of self-knowledge from God, she may still have difficulty in accepting this self or living out a self-image accordingly. This chapter analyzes how Kempe presents Margery’s pilgrimage and shows that her self-image transforms from a sinner to God’s lover after knowing that God indeed loves her. Margery’s bodily feelings as God’s token of love before and after her wedding with the Godhead (1.35) will again be examined in the traditions of discretio spirituum and bridal mysticism to understand how Margery decides to be God’s lover against adversity. The fourth chapter examines how Kempe extends her self-image as God’s lover and forms a spiritual community though her maternal sorrow. Here Kierkegaard’s Works of Love can help understand this expansion of love as he argues that one’s strong love ignited by God cannot remain dormant but needs to be expressed and reach others. The conclusion presents how Kempe stages Margery’s spiritual journey to show how to acquire self-knowledge and how to embody fully the potential of her self-knowledge.

Hobbs, Donna Elaine. "Telling tales out of school : schoolbooks, audiences, and the production of vernacular literature in late medieval England." 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/2152/19594.
Full textAbstract:
My dissertation demonstrates the importance of an examination of the literary works included as part of the curriculum in fourteenth- and fifteenth-century English grammar schools both for understanding the instruction of generations of schoolchildren and for reading the Middle English literature created and read by those trained in these schools. As Chapter 1 explains, thirty-four extant manuscripts used in an educational context in late medieval England, listed with their contents in the Appendix, suggest the identification of seven literary works that appear to have been taught most often: Disticha Catonis, Stans puer ad mensam, Cartula, Peniteas cito, Facetus, Liber Parabolarum, and Ecloga Theoduli. Considering these schoolbooks both individually and as a group reveals their usefulness for teachers and the instruction that they share: an emphasis on epistolary conventions, an awareness of the malleability of selves and social hierarchies, and the prioritization of ordinary human experience. As this project shows, the influence of the lessons of the grammar classroom pervades the production of vernacular literature and the reading practices of contemporary audiences. In Chapter 2, a reading of Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyde informed with a knowledge of the formal features of letter writing, particularly the attention to audience stressed in the grammar schoolbooks, reveals Criseyde’s control of both the story’s ending and the responses of readers through her final letter to Troilus. Chapter 3 offers a reexamination of The Book of Margery Kempe that argues against Kempe’s presumed illiteracy and demonstrates how she utilizes classroom teachings on self presentation in both her lived experience and the writing of her Book to manipulate her reception by her contemporaries and readers of the text. The final chapter turns to the works of John Lydgate to show how he incorporated the schoolroom’s emphasis on the diversity of ordinary human experience into his influential Fall of Princes, thereby spreading grammar school lessons to new audiences. Appreciating the teachings of the literary schoolbooks thus enables not only a better understanding of the grammar curriculum that shaped schoolchildren for two centuries but also a recognition of schoolbooks’ profound effect on authors and audiences in late medieval England.text

Smith, Kathleen M. "The Literary Lives of Intention in Fourteenth- and Fifteenth-Century England." Thesis, 2013. https://doi.org/10.7916/D8542MZQ.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the concept of intention and its relationship to the idea of the moral self in late medieval England. Late medieval English writers often identified intention, as opposed to action, as the site of moral identity. Drawing on medieval legal distinctions between intended and unintended wrongdoings, penitential and confessional definitions of sin as intention (as opposed to sinful action), this dissertation traces the development of intention-based concepts of the moral self in English chronicles, parliamentary legislation and petitions related to the Rising of 1381, Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde, The Testimony of William Thorpe, and The Book of Margery Kempe;. These texts employed contemporary notions of intention to represent interiority and to establish morally coherent narratives. Late fourteenth- and early fifteenth-century writers, however, not only draw on contemporary discussions of morality but also reshape them, applying theories of intention but nuancing and transforming them in the process. These discussions of intention inform our understanding the late medieval notion of the subject.

Full textAbstract:
Performativity” is employed in this study as a methodological approach to an understanding of patriarchy and its effects. As the materialized effect of the use of language and symbolization (speech acts, larger discourses, rituals) it fits within the broad frame of rhetorics, where the last highlights the creational or shaping force of language. Specifically the study focuses on an adapted version of Judith Butler’s notion of “performativity” in an analysis of the lives of various women. The term “performativity” is used in two fundamentally different senses. In the first, it refers to the prescriptions and expectations of patriarchy in regard to the identity and behaviour of its subjects, presented to them through master narratives. This sense of the word is pejorative in that “performativity” is a means of oppression and control. In the other sense of the word, “performatives” are those alternative ways of behaving and responding, chosen by women in their attempts to free themselves from the stifling effects of patriarchy and the master-narrative that it dictates. In this sense, the term actually refers to contra-performatives. Any study focusing on patriarchy necessarily requires an understanding of the origins and workings, as well as the effects, of that phenomenon. The study traces the development of the patriarchal system from pre-history, through Antiquity, into the Middle Ages and the Modern Era. This examination reveals the universality of patriarchy around the world and throughout history. The phenomenon is defined as an oppressive system of male domination within the family and society. As the study focuses particularly on the lives of two fourteenth century English women, Margery Kempe and Julian of Norwich, an examination of English society of that period as a strongly gendered culture, is undertaken. The very limited options available to women are delineated: the choice confronting them was either marriage and procreation, or church and chastity. Margery Kempe initially chose the former, while Julian of Norwich chose the latter. How did these choices impact on their lives, and in what ways may they be regarded as “performative”? Through various speech acts and rituals, as well as their writing, these women confronted patriarchy, sometimes directly and overtly, and at other times subtly and covertly, in their endeavours to create for themselves an alternative to patriarchal oppression. Alternative discourses informed alternative “performances”. In order to demonstrate the universality over time and place of patriarchy and the universal, “performative” response of women to it, the focus then shifts to nineteenth and twentieth century South Africa, where the life-worlds of a diverse group of women are studied. Again, “performativity” as a tool of liberation in the hands of women such as James Barry, Olive Schreiner, Johanna Brandt and Ellen Kuzwayo, is examined. The value of “performativity” is then, emphasised in this study, particularly as a means for those who have for whatever reason – gender, sexual orientation, race, etcetera – been “othered”, to overcome the regime under which they suffer. Regimes which have existed throughout history. This study in a sense serves as a springboard for further research into the why and how of liberation from patriarchal and other oppression.Prof. H.
