Remembering Boethius Explores The Rich Intersection Between The Reception Of Boethius And The Literary Construction Of Aristocratic Identity, Focusing On A Body Of Late-medieval Vernacular Literature That Draws On The Consolation Of Philosophy To Represent And Reimagine Contemporary Experiences Of Exile And Imprisonment. Elizabeth Elliott Presents New Interpretations Of English, French, And Scottish Texts, Including Machaut''s Confort D''ami, Remede De Fortune, And Fonteinne Amoureuse, Jean Froissart''s Prison Amoureuse, Thomas Usk''s Testament Of Love, And The Kingis Quair, Reading These Texts As Sources Contributing To The Development Of The Reader''s Moral Character. These Writers Evoke Boethius In Order To Articulate And Shape Personal Identities For Public Consumption, And Elliott''s Careful Examination Demonstrates That These Texts Often Write Not One Life, But Two, Depicting The Relationship Between Poet And Aristocratic Patron.
