About this product

Product Information

This book offers a compelling portrayal of two contrasting figures who bring couples together for romantic love or sex: elegant aristocrats who serve idealized consensual lovers, and ancient crones who capture women for a price. Via a sweeping tour of 45 medieval works from three centuries--Latin comedies, fabliaux, romances, the "Roman de la rose," the "Book of Good Love," and many others--Mieszkowski reveals a previously unsuspected dimension of Chaucer's "Troilus and Criseyde," An idealized go-between in every outward respect, Pandarus nevertheless acts the part of a go-between for sexual conquest, trapping the woman for the man. Through Pandarus's simultaneous identification with the go-between tradition's contradictory ideologies of desire, Chaucer suspends Troilus and Criseyde's story irreconcilably between lust and idealized romantic love.

Reviews
"Mieszkowski has written a glorious book...one that illuminates a fascinating literary tradition."--Studies in the Age of Chaucer This book makes available, in all their pulsating variety, the tales of mediated sexual encounters that form part of the medieval literary legacy. The two histories it keeps separate--of fictional debasements and idealizations of desire--come together at the end in an analytical survey of modern responses toTroilus and Criseide.  This will be required reading for all who teach the poem. But Chaucerians and non-Chaucerians alike will benefit from Professor Mieszkowski's magisterial study."--Marie Borroff, Sterling Professor of English Emeritus, Yale University    , "Mieszkowski has written a glorious book...one that illuminates a fascinating literary tradition."-- Studies in the Age of Chaucer "This book makes available, in all their pulsating variety, the tales of mediated sexual encounters that form part of the medieval literary legacy.
