Ethics and eventfulness in Middle English literature
Mitchell, J. Allan1971-

Ethics and eventfulness in Middle English literature[electronic resource] /J. Allan Mitchell. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2009. - xiv, 187 p. ;22 cm. - The new Middle Ages. - New Middle Ages (Palgrave Macmillan (Firm)).

Includes bibliographical references (p. [167]-182) and index.

On fortune, philosophy, and fidelity to the event -- Love and ethicsto come in Troilus and Criseyde -- Consolations of Pandarus : The testament of love and The chaunce of the dyse -- Gower's Confessio amantis and the nature of vernacular ethics -- Telling fortunes in Lydgate's Fall of princes-- Moral luck and Malory's Morte Darthur.

Medieval writers were fascinated by fortune and misfortune, yet the critical problems raised by such explorations have not been adequately theorized. Allan Mitchell invites us to consider thesecontingencies inrelation to an "ethics of the event." His book examines how Middle English writers including Chaucer, Gower, Lydgate, and Malory treat unpredictable events such as sexual attraction, political disaster, social competition, traumatic accidents, and the textual condition itself - locating in fortune the very potentiality of ethical life. While earlier scholarship has detailed the iconography of Lady Fortune, this book alters and advances the conversation so that we see fortune less as a negative exemplum than as a positive sign of radical phenomena.
