Abstract This article explores non-orientable textualities and self-quotation in Romantic poetry, focusing on two of John Keats’s major poems: The Eve of St Agnes and ‘La Belle Dame sans Merci’. It proposes that an intricate web of intertextuality between Keats’s romance and ballad can be conceptualized in topological terms. Central to this approach is the application of the Klein bottle—a single-sided, non-orientable structure—as a model for understanding the complex ways in which the two poems are connected to themselves and each other. The analysis is extended to include the reflexive dynamics of Robert Burns’s bawdy song, ‘Nine Inch Will Please a Lady’ and Richard Roos’s Middle English translation of Alain Chartier’s ‘La Belle Dame sans Mercy’. Finally, the essay argues that Keats’s romance and ballad can be envisioned not as distinct literary works but rather as topological regions on a larger, continuous textual surface—a spatial paradigm that has the potential to provide a fresh lens for examining intertextual literature more widely.
摘要本文以济慈的《圣阿格尼丝之夜》和《美丽的Dame sans Merci》为研究对象，探讨浪漫主义诗歌中的非定向文本和自引。它提出了一个复杂的互文性网络之间的济慈的浪漫和民谣可以概念化的拓扑术语。这种方法的核心是克莱因瓶的应用——一个单面的、不可定向的结构——作为理解这两首诗相互联系的复杂方式的模型。该分析扩展到包括罗伯特·伯恩斯的淫秽歌曲《九寸将取悦一位女士》和理查德·鲁斯对阿兰·查蒂埃的《无怜悯的美女》的中古英语翻译的反射动力。最后，本文认为，济慈的浪漫和民谣可以被想象成不是不同的文学作品，而是一个更大的、连续的文本表面上的拓扑区域——一个空间范式，有可能为更广泛地研究互文文学提供一个新的视角。

Abstract St Boniface, the eighth-century scholar, missionary, and eventual martyr, is generally characterized as an important historical figure but a bad poet. In part it is because his verse is so strongly marked by direct borrowings from Aldhelm that it is easy to assume he did not possess the creativity or ability to write for himself. Here, we seek to rehabilitate Boniface’s collection of Latin riddles about the personified Virtues and Vices, engaging especially with Humilitas Cristiana (‘Christian Humility’), Virginitas … humilium (‘Virginity of the Humble’), Superbia (‘Pride’), and Vana gloria iactantia (‘Vainglorious Boasting’). We examine Boniface’s riddles through the lens of fan studies, arguing that fandom and fan fiction provide insights into group-identity formation and gift-giving that reframe Boniface’s debt to Aldhelm, as well as his entire creative project. Like a writer of fan fiction, Boniface creates new characters based on his reading of Aldhelm’s De virginitate (‘Concerning Virginity’) and, through them, he develops Aldhelm’s warning against taking pride in virtue. However, Boniface’s riddle-subjects speak an encoded message that only a true fan of Aldhelm could appreciate. Distance from this fandom has led to scholarly neglect of a fascinating poetic collection, but we hope to bridge the gap.
{"title":"Aldhelm’s Fandom: The Humble Virtues of Boniface’s Riddles","authors":"Megan Cavell, Jennifer Neville","doi":"10.1093/res/hgad077","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/res/hgad077","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract St Boniface, the eighth-century scholar, missionary, and eventual martyr, is generally characterized as an important historical figure but a bad poet. In part it is because his verse is so strongly marked by direct borrowings from Aldhelm that it is easy to assume he did not possess the creativity or ability to write for himself. Here, we seek to rehabilitate Boniface’s collection of Latin riddles about the personified Virtues and Vices, engaging especially with Humilitas Cristiana (‘Christian Humility’), Virginitas … humilium (‘Virginity of the Humble’), Superbia (‘Pride’), and Vana gloria iactantia (‘Vainglorious Boasting’). We examine Boniface’s riddles through the lens of fan studies, arguing that fandom and fan fiction provide insights into group-identity formation and gift-giving that reframe Boniface’s debt to Aldhelm, as well as his entire creative project. Like a writer of fan fiction, Boniface creates new characters based on his reading of Aldhelm’s De virginitate (‘Concerning Virginity’) and, through them, he develops Aldhelm’s warning against taking pride in virtue. However, Boniface’s riddle-subjects speak an encoded message that only a true fan of Aldhelm could appreciate. Distance from this fandom has led to scholarly neglect of a fascinating poetic collection, but we hope to bridge the gap.","PeriodicalId":255318,"journal":{"name":"The Review of English Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135203305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
