Julian of Norwich gives us one of the most linguistically lovely passages from Middle English, which—according to a recent publication (circa 1999)—describes Julian’s writing as “language of equality.” In an essay, discuss ways Julian’s writing pushes for greater equality. Aspects related to the narrator are the most important among many innovations in language and literature of Middle English credited to Chaucer, innovations that are at once subtle, deep, dramatic, and expanding the “arts of language.” In an essay, reflect on Chaucer’s influence on narration. In an essay examine the “straunge strondes” that your mind casts upon as you read Geoffrey Chaucer’s General Prologue to The Canterbury Tales and Lerer’s connections between Chaucer, the arts of language, and Middle English? Consider also what captures your imagination about Chaucer’s Middle English. Lerer reminds us of a “truth” about language and history that cannot be overstated: “Our histories of the English language, in the end, are histories in search of character: the character of speech, as well as speakers, the essence of our linguistic communities” (111). Considering the evolution from Middle to Modern English, in an essay reflect on either of the issues below as they explore the histories of character: Ad hoc spellings and “people coping with their language changing in their own lifetimes” Generational differences and tensions in language between Agnes and John Paston as they (differences and tensions) connect with[in] literature. After much discussion of the many ways English writing changed “from the time of Chaucer to the time of Hart,” 1400 to 1569, Lerer ends the discussion about chancery’s role in “standardization” with this insightful caveat from Caxton: “under the domynacyon of the mone,” which is where “Speakers of English live.” These sentiments touch on one of the most important takeaways of this entire course: “it may be futile to control or fix our tongue, to outlaw felonies of language…” In an essay, explore reasons why efforts to control and standardize English have and will always fail. In examining Chancery English, Lerer asserts that “The writings that emerge…hold up…a public and official mirror image to the private selves….Behind them lies a conception of vernacular character and the character of the vernacular.” In an essay examine Chancery English’s role in the making of English prose. Caxton’s role in shaping English is difficult to overstate. In his part as a printer and through his own prologues and epilogues to the innumerable classics his press produced, we get the story of English. Lerer summarizes Caxton’s contributions: “The story told here is a story that begins at the beginning of all literary history, with Virgil and the classics, and it takes us to the present moment of a living poet laureate. We move from the city to the country, from the church to the court, from the print shop to the university, from Kent to Oxford” (121). In an essay examine Caxton’s role in shaping English. Between Shakespeare’s time and Milton’s, England moves from The Age of Discovery into the Age of Imperialism and Colonialism. These dramatic socio-political-economic changes were ripe with linguistic transformations, including an unprecedented number of words fashioned from the milieu of all these changes: What it meant to be English was changing at an astonishing pace! In an essay, write about any two of the following as they connect to linguistic changes and instability in the mid- to late 1600s: dictionaries, lantskip, imperial aspirations of England, copia, fetiço, Alexander Gil, polysemy, amplification.
