Tropes of Engagement: Chaucer's Italian Poetics of Intertextuality by Leah Schwe

Description: Tropes of Engagement by Leah Schwebel Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Exploring the work of Chaucer and Boccaccio, Tropes of Engagement redefines our understanding of textual influence by examining modes, rather than evidence, of authorial engagement. Publisher Description While scholars have long explored connections between Chaucer and Boccaccio, relatively few have asked why Chaucer makes such a habit of obscuring the influence of his favourite vernacular author. Tropes of Engagement asks the question of what motivated Chaucer to camouflage his debt to his most prominent, yet never named, Italian source: Giovanni Boccaccio.Leah Schwebel boldly claims that when Chaucer erases Boccaccio, he is mimicking strategies of translation practiced by his classical and continental predecessors. Tracing popular narratives from antiquity to the late Middle Ages, including the Knights Tale, the Clerks Tale, the Monks Tale, Troilus and Criseyde, and Lydgates Fall of Princes and Troy Book, Schwebel argues that authorial erasure, invention, and manipulation are recognizable literary tropes of engagement that poets employ to suggest their connection to, and place within, a broader authorial tradition.Combining an attention to the cultural, historical, and material circumstances surrounding literary production with a mode of source study that looks beyond discernable influence, Tropes of Engagement recognizes authors self-consciously erasing and misreading each other as part of a process of mutual and self-promotion. Author Biography Leah Schwebel is an associate professor of English at Texas State University.
