解説

The rise of an influential new family of poetry in the Middle Ages

This book is the first collective examination of Late Medieval intimate first-person narratives that blurred the lines between author, narrator, and protagonist and usually feature personification allegory and courtly love tropes, creating an experimental new family of poetry. In this volume, contributors analyze why the allegorical first-person romance embedded itself in the vernacular literature of Western Europe and remained popular for more than two centuries.

The editors identify and discuss three predominant forms within this family: debate poetry, dream allegories, and autobiographies. Contributors offer textual analyses of key works from late medieval German, French, Italian, and Iberian literature, with discussion of developments in England, as well.

Allegory and the Poetic Self offers a sophisticated, theoretically current discussion of relevant literature. This exploration of medieval "I" narratives offers insights not just into the premodern period but also into Western literature's subsequent traditions of self-analysis and identity crafting through storytelling.
