Speaking Survival: Chaucer Studies and the Discourses of Sexual Assault

Sarah Baechle

Summary: This article examines the discursive perspectives of survivor speech in discussions of Chaucer's rape narratives. It argues that the discoveries by Roger and Sobecki allow Chaucer scholars to reconsider their approach to the poet and the topic of sexual violence. Rather than focusing on Chaucer's guilt or the victimization of the characters, a structural approach is proposed to analyze how Chaucer's rape narratives perpetuate harmful myths about women, sex, and consent. The Reeve's Tale is explored as an example of this approach.

Margaret Cavendish Reads Josuah Sylvester: Epicurus, Atheism, and Atomic Skepticism in Poems, and Fancies

Justin Begley

Summary: Scholars commonly associate the atomic ideas in Margaret Cavendish's Poems, and Fancies (1653) with Lucy Hutchinson's contemporaneous manuscript translation of Lucretius' De rerum natura. While Hutchinson denounces Lucretius' doctrines, Cavendish is believed to embrace them. However, this essay argues that Cavendish was not a committed atomist and gives a fair hearing to atomism based on other ancient philosophies. The essay also discusses Cavendish's appraisal of Epicurean ethics, which portrays a more positive depiction compared to Sylvester's negative view, concluding that Cavendish's views were less heterodox than assumed and more orthodox than Hutchinson's.
