| Zusammenfassung: | While love is private, and in medieval literature especially is seen as demanding secrecy, to tell stories about it is to make it public. Looking, often accompanied by listening, is the means by which love is brought into the public realm and by which legal evidence of adulterous love can be obtained. Medieval romances contain many scenes in which secret watchers and listeners play leading roles, and in which the problematic relation of sight to truth is a central theme. The effect of such scenes is to place the poem's audience as secret watchers and listeners; and in later medieval narratives, as the role of the storyteller comes to be realized, the poet too sees himself in the undignified role of a voyeur. A. C. Spearing's book explores these and related themes, first in relation to medieval and modern theories and instances of looking, and then through a series of readings of romances and first-person narratives, including works by Beroul, Gottfried von Strassburg, Chrétien de Troyes, Marie de France, Chaucer, Lydgate, Douglas, Dunbar, and Skelton. Its focus on looking also leads to the recovery of some less well-known works such as Partonope of Blois and The Squire of Low Degree. The general approach is psychoanalytic, but the reading of specific medieval texts always has primacy, and this in turn makes possible a running critique of current conceptions of the gaze in relation to power and gender |

Spearing Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993 1 online resource (321 pages) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015) Theories of looking -- Examples of looking -- The Tristan story -- Chretien de Troyes -- The Lanval story -- Troilus and Criseyde and The Manciple's Tale -- Partonope of Blois -- The Knight's Tale and The Merchant's Tale -- The Squyr of Lowe Degre -- The Romaunt of the Rose -- The Parliament of Fowls and A Complaynt of a Loveres Lyfe -- The Palice of Honour and The Goldyn Targe -- The Tretis of the Twa Mariit Wemen and the Wedo -- Phyllyp Sparowe While love is private, and in medieval literature especially is seen as demanding secrecy, to tell stories about it is to make it public. Looking, often accompanied by listening, is the means by which love is brought into the public realm and by which legal evidence of adulterous love can be obtained. Medieval romances contain many scenes in which secret watchers and listeners play leading roles, and in which the problematic relation of sight to truth is a central theme. The effect of such scenes is to place the poem's audience as secret watchers and listeners; and in later medieval narratives, as the role of the storyteller comes to be realized, the poet too sees himself in the undignified role of a voyeur. A. C. Spearing's book explores these and related themes, first in relation to medieval and modern theories and instances of looking, and then through a series of readings of romances and first-person narratives, including works by Beroul, Gottfried von Strassburg, Chrétien de Troyes, Marie de France, Chaucer, Lydgate, Douglas, Dunbar, and Skelton. Its focus on looking also leads to the recovery of some less well-known works such as Partonope of Blois and The Squire of Low Degree. The general approach is psychoanalytic, but the reading of specific medieval texts always has primacy, and this in turn makes possible a running critique of current conceptions of the gaze in relation to power and gender Geschichte 1000-1500 gnd rswk-swf Poetry, Medieval / History and criticism Love poetry / History and criticism Voyeurism in literature Point of view (Literature) Liebe Motiv (DE-588)4123655-5 gnd rswk-swf Erzähler (DE-588)4152967-4 gnd rswk-swf Liebeslyrik (DE-588)4114413-2 gnd rswk-swf Sehen (DE-588)4054260-9 gnd rswk-swf Hören (DE-588)4025405-7 gnd rswk-swf Voyeurismus (DE-588)4241047-2 gnd rswk-swf Höfische Epik (DE-588)4160341-2 gnd rswk-swf Liebeslyrik (DE-588)4114413-2 s Erzähler (DE-588)4152967-4 s Voyeurismus (DE-588)4241047-2 s Geschichte 1000-1500 z 1\p DE-604 Höfische Epik (DE-588)4160341-2 s Liebe Motiv (DE-588)4123655-5 s 2\p DE-604 Sehen (DE-588)4054260-9 s Hören (DE-588)4025405-7 s 3\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-02169-2 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-41094-6 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511518799 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
