Descriere magazin:
In a culture as steeped in communal, scripted acts of prayer as Chaucer\'s England, a written prayer asks not only to be read, but to be inhabited: its I marks a space that readers are invited to occupy. This book examines the implications of accepting that invitation when reading Chaucer\'s poetry. Both in his often-overlooked pious writings and in his ambitious, innovative pagan narratives, the I of prayer provides readers with a subject-position that can be at once devotional and literary - a stance before a deity and a stance in relation to a poem. Chaucer uses this uniquely open, participatory I to implicate readers in his poetry and to guide their work of reading. In examining Christian and pagan prayers alongside each other, Chaucer\'s Prayers cuts across an assumed division between the religious and secular writings within Chaucer\'s corpus. Rather, it emphasizes continuities and approaches prayer as part of Chaucer\'s broader experimentation with literary voice. It also places Chaucer in his devotional context and foregrounds how pious practices intersect with and shape his poetic practices. These insights challenge a received view of Chaucer as an essentially secular poet and shed new light on his poetry\'s relationship to religion. MEGAN MURTON is Assistant Professor of English at The Catholic University of America.
