Stephen Russell, author of Chaucer and the Trivium: The Mindsong of the Canterbury TalesThere is nothing comparable available in any language. Chances firstrate knowledge of the texts in a variety of languages is equaled by her knowledge of the secondary literature as well as contemporary literature.Jon Solomon, Robert D. Novak Professor of Western Civilization and Culture, University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaignWith this volume, Jane Chance concludes her monumental study of the history of mythography in medieval literature. Her focus here is the advent of hybrid mythography, the transformation of mythological commentary by blending the scholarly with the courtly and the personal.Chances indepth examination of works by the major writers of the period demonstrates how they essentially coopted a thousandyear tradition. Their intricate narratives of identity mixed commentary with poetry, reinterpreted classical gods and heroes to suit personal agendas, and gave rise to innovative techniques such as inglossationthe use of a mythological figure to comment on the protagonist within an autobiographical allegory. In this manner, through allegorical authorial projection of the self, the poets explored a subjective world and manifested a burgeoning humanism that would eventually come to full fruition in the Renaissance.No other work examines the mythographic interrelationships among these poets and their unique and personal approaches to mythological commentary.
