He argues that the unprecedented event of the Holocaust, which witnessed the total degradation and extermination of human beings, irrevocably changes how we read literature from the past. McClellan gives a thoroughgoing reading of the .M.an of Law’s Tale., widely regarded as one of Chaucer’s most difficult tales, interpreting it as a meditation on the horrors of sovereign power. He shows how Chaucer, through the figuration of Custance, dramatically depicts the destructive effects of power on the human subject. McClellan’s intervention, which he calls “reading-history-as-ethical-meditation,” places reception history in the context of a reception ethics and holds the promise of changing the way we read traditional texts. | | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | | 关键词 | Chaucer studies; Medieval Literature; Holocaust Studies; Giorgio Agamben; Political Theory; British and I | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-54879-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-54879-5Series ISSN 2945-5936 Series E-ISSN 2945-5944 | | issn_series | 2945-5936 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
