A New History of Medieval French Literature
Is it legitimate to conceive of and write a history of medieval French literature when the term “literature” as we know it today did not appear until the very end of the Middle Ages? In this novel introduction to French literature of the period, Jacqueline Cerquiglini-Toulet says yes, arguing that a profound literary consciousness did exist at the time. Cerquiglini-Toulet challenges the standard ways of reading and evaluating literature, considering medieval literature not as separate from that in other eras but as part of the broader tradition of world literature. Her vast and learned readings of both canonical and lesser-known works pose crucial questions about, among other things, the...
L'écriture testamentaire à la fin du Moyen Age
This short paper was delivered at the Taylor Institution at the University of Oxford in 1999. It focuses on the genre of mock wills in French literature of the Late Middle Ages, exploring the political, social and historical implications of its use and the different satiric, tragic and comedy aspects to the works.

The Color of Melancholy
In the 14th century, beset by wars, plague, famine, and social unrest, French writers saw themselves in the winter of literature, a time for retreat into reflection. Yet, in the midst of their troubles, as this extraordinary study reveals, large number of Latin texts were translated into French, opening up new areas of thought and literary exploration. 8 color illustrations.

Controlling Readers
Guillaume de Machaut (1300-1377) was the master poet of fourteenth-century France. He established models for much of the vernacular poetry written by subsequent generations, and he was instrumental in institutionalizing the lay reader. In particular, his longest and most important work, the Voir dit, calls attention to the coexistence of public and private reading practices through its intensely hybrid form: sixty-three poems and ten songs invite an oral performance, while forty-six private prose letters as well as elaborate illustration and references to it's own materiality promote a physical encounter with the book. In Controlling Readers, Deborah McGrady uses Machaut's corpus as a case s...

The Medieval Author in Medieval French Literature
Thirty-five years ago Roland Barthes proclaimed the death of the Author. For medievalists no death has been more timely. The essays in this volume create a prism through which to understand medieval authorship as a process and the medieval author as an agency in the making.
Guillaume de Machaut "Le livre du voir dit"
Depuis sa parution en 1875, Le Livre du Voir Dit de Guillaume de Machaut (1362-1365) a fasciné pour de bonnes et de mauvaises raisons. L'histoire de l'amour d'une toute jeune fille pour un vieillard célèbre intriguait, le témoignage du poète sur sa propre écriture subjuguait, la complexité formelle du texte déconcertait. Jacqueline Cerquiglini-Toulet propose dans cette étude une lecture qui cerne les facettes essentielles de l'œuvre, à la fois art d'aimer et art d'écrire. Elle explore les figures de lecteur que met en scène le poète ou qu'il a suscitées, et caractérise les grands traits de l'écriture de Guillaume de Machaut, " grant rethorique de nouvelle forme ", immense musicien et poète.
