abstract:This article argues for the centrality of a neglected theme in the writings of Julian of Norwich: pleasure. To argue for the theme's centrality, the author focuses on Julian's Short Text, A Vision Showed to a Devout Woman. In the expanded Long Text, there are themes added unto pleasure; however, Julian's theology of pleasure remains fundamental to the dynamic of the text. Looking at the Short Text enables us to see how the theme is established. When one pays attention to pleasure (or, in Julian's English, likinge), its importance to the text is remarkable. In fact, the author argues that the transformation of pain into pleasure is a motif that is basic to Julian's whole visionary experience. Characteristically, she also orchestrates a theology around the theme, connecting pleasure to God's relation to human beings, the intertrinitarian relations, and how human beings are supposed to relate to themselves. In short: once this theme is highlighted, a rich theology of pleasure reveals itself.

The book encourages a closer reading of medieval literature in light of its modern, and especially its modern lyric, afterlives. It demonstrates that patience and attention, particularly to elements of touch, the body’s boundaries, illumination, and their intersections in poetry, can be transfigurative practices. It does so not only through the accustomed cadences of scholarly argumentation but through its own moments of poetic and meditative reflection. Augustine, Cassian, Bernard of Clairvaux, Dante, Boccaccio, and the heroes of Old French narrative, as well as their modern lyric counterparts, come to light in new and newly complicated ways. They become, in a word, transfigured.
这本书鼓励人们根据中世纪文学的现代性，尤其是其现代抒情诗《余生》来仔细阅读中世纪文学。它表明，耐心和注意力，特别是对触摸、身体边界、照明及其在诗歌中的交叉点的元素，可以是变形的练习。它不仅通过学术论证的惯常节奏，而且通过自己诗意和沉思的时刻来做到这一点。Augustine、Cassian、Bernard of Clairvaux、Dante、Boccaccio和旧法国叙事英雄，以及他们的现代抒情同行，以新的和新的复杂的方式出现。总之，他们变了形。

Trans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Hagiography presents an interdisciplinary examination of trans and genderqueer subjects in medieval hagiography. Scholarship has productively combined analysis of medieval literary texts with modern queer theory – yet, too often, questions of gender are explored almost exclusively through a prism of sexuality, rather than gender identity. This volume moves beyond such limitations, foregrounding the richness of hagiography as a genre integrally resistant to limiting binaristic categories, including rigid gender binaries. The collection showcases scholarship by emerging trans and genderqueer authors, as well as the work of established researchers. Working at the vanguard of historical trans studies, these scholars demonstrate the vital and vitally political nature of their work as medievalists. Trans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Hagiography enables the re-creation of a lineage linking modern trans and genderqueer individuals to their medieval ancestors, providing models of queer identity where much scholarship has insisted there were none, and re-establishing the place of non-normative gender in history.

abstract:The Virtues of the Mass is a literary corpus comprising around forty-four known Middle English texts. These writings expound the liturgical sequences of the Mass and/or its spiritual and physical benefits for both clerical and lay audiences, whether literate or illiterate. This article traces 107 manuscripts containing variants of the Virtues of the Mass (as examined in the ) to contend that this corpus of texts should be viewed as a comprehensive genre. It proposes a new taxonomy that categorizes the texts into two traditions: the first textual tradition focuses on the benefits of attending mass, while the second focuses on explaining the liturgical ceremony. This article contextualizes the genre in light of the renewed interest in corporate worship and communal devotional practices in England in the first half of the fifteenth century, and considers key themes associated with the genre such as prayer, soulhele, and liturgical habitus.
