1 1 Fables MT 2017 Dr. Ema Vyroubalová (co-ordinator), Dr. Margaret Robson, This course explores the rich tradition of animal fables in English, highlighting the lasting influence of the classical animal fables of Aesop and the related tradition of beast literature. The selected texts, which span the medieval period, the early modern period (Renaissance) and the Enlightenment, will introduce students to important literary forms including fable, bestiary, allegory, comedy and satire. Our themes will include the representation and anthropomorphization of animals in literature, the blurring of boundaries between humans and animals, and the limitations of human reason and morality. We will also raise broader literary questions, from querying the author s and reader s roles in endowing texts with symbolic meaning to defining the very purpose of writing and reading literary works. Required Texts: 1. The Riverside Chaucer, gen. ed. Larry D. Benson, rev. with introduction by Christopher Cannon (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008) Ben Jonson, Volpone, ed. by D. Bevington and R.B.

2 2 Bibliography and overview of lectures: Introduction: Aesop s Fables and the genre of beast fable The opening lecture will introduce students to the genre of beast fable and to the prototypical example of this literary genre, the body of texts known as Aesop s Fables. We will start with some examples of Aesop s Fables and with their origins in Ancient Greece. We will then look at the major trends in the evolution of the Aesopian canon, from 6 th century BCE to the present, with a focus on their versatile applications across the centuries, which ranged from straightforward moral edification of children to refined tools of political dissent. A selection of the best-known Aesopian Tales can be found in Aesop: The Complete Fables, edited and translated by Robert and Olivia Temple (Penguin Classics, 1998). For an overview of the fables history as children s literature, see Chapter 2 in Seth Lerer: Children s Literature, A Reader s History from Aesop to Harry Potter (Chicago: U. of Chicago Press, 2008). For an overview of the fables political deployment, see Annabel Patterson: The Fables of Power, Aesopian Writing and Political History (Durham: Duke University Press, 1991); Mark Loveridge: A History of Augustan Fable (Cambridge: Cambridge U. Press, 1998); and Jayne Elizabeth Lewis: The English Fable: Aesop and Literary Culture, (Cambridge: Cambridge U. Press, 2006). Beast Literature before Chaucer: No Primary Reading The following lecture will introduce students to the importance of birds and bird debate in the medieval tradition, focussing on the Owl and the Nightingale, Chaucer s Parliament of Fowls (explored in greater depth in Week 3) and John Clanvowe s Boke of Cupid (also called The Cuckoo and the Nightingale). See Jill Mann, From Aesop to Reynard: Beast Literature in Medieval Britain (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2009). For the texts, see The Owl and the Nightingale, ed. and trans. Neil Cartlidge (Exeter: University of Exeter Press, 2001); John Clanvowe, The Boke of Cupide, God of Love, or The Cuckoo and the Nightingale, in Chaucerian Dream Visions and Complaints, ed. Dana M. Symons (Kalamazoo, 2004), online at Beast Literature before Chaucer: Secondary Reading A comprehensive introduction to this material, and to a number of the texts covered in the first half of this course, can be found in Jill Mann, From Aesop to Reynard: Beast Literature in Medieval Britain (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2009) and Joyce Salisbury, The Beast Within: Animals in the Middle Ages (New York: Routledge, 2010).
