Die Trostschrift an sich selbst, die der Politiker und Philosoph Boethius (ca. 480-524 n.Chr.) kurz vor seiner Hinrichtung verfasste, gilt neben den Bekenntnissen des Augustinus als das berühmteste Werk der christlichen Spätantike. Weil Boethius als christlicher Märtyrer kanonisiert wurde, erfuhr auch sein Werk, die Consolatio Philosophiae, im Mittelalter eine christliche Umdeutung und führte zu einer außerordentlich intensiven Rezeption, die nicht nur durch die eindrucksvolle Zahl von über 400 Handschriften und ca. 20, zum Teil sehr umfangreiche lateinische Kommentare belegt ist, sondern auch durch Übersetzungen in verschiedene Volkssprachen. Mit einer erstaunlichen religiösen ,Wandlungsfähigkeit' meisterte der Text dann die am Beginn der Renaissance einsetzende Krise der als ,mittelalterlich' geltenden Literatur, wurde aber durch den ent-christianisierenden und re-antikisierenden Kommentar des Josse Bade (1498) für die Humanisten salonfähig gemacht. Im 17. Jahrhundert wurde Boethius dann erneut ,christianisiert', genauer: konfessionalisiert, d.h. für den Diskurs des konfessionellen Zeitalters funktionalisiert. Die vielfältigen Aspekte dieser mittelalterlich-christlichen, humanistischen und konfessionellen Vereinnahmung werden in den Beiträgen des Sammelbandes analysiert und eröffnen eine diachrone, epochenübergreifende Perspektive.

Dialogues of Love and Government examines the use of the pseudo-Boethian didactic dialogue form in a wide range of Medieval texts on the theme of love by authors including Machaut, Froissart, Dante, Chaucer, Gower, Usk and Hoccleve. Although the broad, almost universal influence of Boethius in the Middle Ages has been much documented, the present study can be said to break new ground on several fronts. Firstly, whereas scholars have so far tended to focus on the visionary, Apocalyptic conve...

Literary scholars often avoid the category of the aesthetic in discussions of ethics, believing that purely aesthetic judgments can vitiate analyses of a literary work's sociopolitical heft and meaning. In Practicing Literary Theory in the Middle Ages, Eleanor Johnson reveals that aesthetics-the formal aspects of literary language that make it sense-perceptible-are indeed inextricable from ethics in the writing of medieval literature. Johnson brings a keen formalist eye to bear on the prosimetric form: the mixing of prose with lyrical poetry. This form descends from the writings of the sixth-century Christian philosopher Boethius-specifically his famous prison text, Consolation of Philosophy-to the late medieval English tradition. Johnson argues that Boethius's text had a broad influence not simply on the thematic and philosophical content of subsequent literary writing, but also on the specific aesthetic construction of several vernacular traditions. She demonstrates the underlying prosimetric structures in a variety of Middle English texts-including Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde and portions of the Canterbury Tales, Thomas Usk's Testament of Love, John Gower's Confessio amantis, and Thomas Hoccleve's autobiographical poetry-and asks how particular formal choices work, how they resonate with medieval literary-theoretical ideas, and how particular poems and prose works mediate the tricky business of modeling ethical transformation for a readership.
