| Abstract | This session is sponsored by the AHRC-funded research project 'Geographies of Orthodoxy: Mapping the Middle English Pseudo-Bonaventuran Lives of Christ, c.1350-1550'. The papers will explore the complexity of the English Pseudo-Bonaventuran tradition, focusing both on the strategies of affective movement encoded in the texts, as well as the actual movement of texts within and across national boundaries and specific reading networks (for instance lay, monastic, scribal). Focus will also be on the often surprising ways in which Pseudo-Bonaventuran texts travel together with other texts in manuscript compilations, and how these ways may challenge traditional textual and intellectual interpretations. |
