Full textIn questa tesi vengono analizzati alcuni episodi di follia selvaggia nel romanzo medio inglese. Alcuni cavalieri, come Lancillotto, Tristano, Ivano e Partonope, vengono colpiti da questa pazzia selvaggia in genere a seguito di un evento drammatico nella sfera amorosa. Questo tipo di follia presenta delle precise caratteristiche: i cavalieri pazzi hanno la tendenza a prediligere ambienti selvaggi e solitari, come la foresta; essi inoltre, si spogliano delle proprie vesti, alterano la loro dieta e divengono estremamente aggressivi. Si ipotizza che questi episodi siano stati influenzati dal precedente biblico di Nabucodonosor. Si è notato inoltre che alcuni di questi folli presentano alcuni tratti comuni anche al woodwose, l'uomo selvaggio, una figura molto diffusa nel folklore medievale. Questi episodi, tuttavia, sembrano contenere dei possibili riferimenti anche a teorie mediche e a leggi e costumi dell'epoca. Inoltre, il contesto di avventure cavalleresche e di amor cortese in cui agiscono i protagonisti presuppone una forte cornice di canoni e convenzioni che doveva necessariamente venir rispettata. La tesi si concentra soprattutto su testi in medio inglese, come Le Morte Darthur di Malory, Ywain and Gawain e Partonope de Blois, ma occasionalmente anche le versioni francesi di queste opere vengono prese in considerazione.

Full textThis thesis analyses different constructions of poetic self-representations through melancholy in poems written by early eighteenth-century women writers (ca. 1680-1750). The selection of poems includes texts written by representative poets such as Anne Wharton, Anne Finch, Elizabeth Singer Rowe, Henrietta Knight, Elizabeth Carter, Mary Leapor, Mary Chudleigh, Mehetabel Wright und Elizabeth Boyd. Against the background of a detailed analysis of the medical-historical paradigmatic change from humoral pathology to the nerves and the subsequent re-positioning of women as melancholics, the thesis refers to the close relationship of medicine and literature during the eighteenth century. Specifical categories of analysis and two different types of melancholic-poetic self-representations are developed, in order to support the close readings of the literary texts. These poems comprise both texts, which explicitly refer to generically standardized melancholy markers, as well as texts, which negotiate and aestheticize the melancholic experience without necessarily mentioning melancholy. The detailed close readings of the poems discuss the often ambivalent strategies of the poetic speakers to construct and represent their melancholic selves and clearly demonstrate that women writers of that time did – despite the common critical opinion – contribute to the literary discourse of melancholy. The thesis pays special attention to the so-called female elegy and its relationship to melancholy. It becomes clear that mourning and grief, which have often been considered a feminine counter-discourse to the discourse of melancholy as sign of the male intellectual and/or artistic genius, and the resulting female elegy offer an important literary space for women writers and their melancholy poetry, which should thus be recognized as a distinctive part of the literary discourse of melancholy.

Find full textMedieval fairies are chaotic and perplexing narrative agents—neither humans nor monsters—and their actions are defined only by a characteristic unpredictability. My dissertation investigates this fairy chaos, focusing on those moments in a premodern romance when a fairy or group of fairies intrudes on a human community and, to be blunt, makes a mess. I argue that fairy disruption of human ways of thinking and being—everything from human corporeality to the definition of chivalry—is often productive or generative. Each chapter examines how narrative fairies upset medieval English culture’s operations and rules (including, frequently, the rules of the narrative itself) in order to question those conventions in the extra-narrative world of the tale’s audience. Fairy romances, I contend, puzzle and engage their audiences, encouraging readers and hearers to think about and even challenge the processes of their own society. In this way, my research explores the interaction between a text and its audience—between fiction and reality—illuminating the ways in which premodern narratives of chaos and disruption encourage readers and headers to engage in a sustained, ethical consideration of the world.
