Abstract

This thesis explores some submerged aspects of the history of the theory of poetry in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, examining the circumstantial factors motivating its intellectual, religious, and moral developments. Starting with the early university men, it argues that the important poetic initiatives of scholastic writers, specifically, Roger Bacon, anticipated the literary advancements and innovative claims conventionally ascribed to the poetic theories of the Italian humanists at the turn of the century. It tracks these theoretical developments and ideas as they move through the exuberant affirmations of poetry made by Albertino Mussato and into the vernacular works of the English writers, John Gower and Geoffrey Chaucer, who ruthlessly interrogate the instability of their own art and explore the uncertainties of literary reception and transmission. Here, the progressive expansion of the status and power of poetic discourse, which had been fought for and won by previous generations of theorists, is conclusively and soundly rejected. The literary history that presents itself describes a rise and a fall of poetry, where the poetic theories born in Paris appear to flourish in Padua, before dying on the streets of London, crushed beneath the stampeding crowds of the House of Rumour. As the nature of poetic discourse (and of the poet) were crucial points of conflict throughout the period, a study of the theory of poetry is necessary for a full understanding of medieval literary history. This thesis represents a contribution to these discussions.
