DESCRIPTION:The Paul Gottschalk Memorial Lecture: \n\nProsopopoeia and Defa
 cement: Fictions of Voice in The Canterbury Tales by Julie Orlemanski\n\nT
 his lecture takes up the fragile but irrepressible relations among languag
 e\, voice\, and person as these are figured in Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canter
 bury Tales. I focus on two tales and their defaced protagonists—the murd
 ered schoolboy in the Prioress’s Tale and the slain maiden Virginia in t
 he Physician’s Tale. In each case\, the narrative centers on the interpl
 ay of utterance and animation and how fictions of voice both figure and di
 sfigure their speakers. I place these speakers within the wider problemati
 c of voice in the Canterbury Tales as well as recent developments within l
 iterary studies\, in the treatment of character\, narrator\, and poetic sp
 eaker. \n\nJulie Orlemanski teaches and writes about medieval literature a
 nd theoretical and methodological questions in present-day literary studie
 s. She is Associate Professor of English at the University of Chicago. Her
  monograph\, Symptomatic Subjects: Bodies\, Medicine\, and Causation in th
 e Literature of Late Medieval England\, appeared from the University of Pe
 nnsylvania Press in 2019. From 2021 to 2024\, Orlemanski was co-editor-in-
 chief of postmedieval: a journal of medieval cultural studies. She also co
 -edited the Norton Anthology of English Literature\, Eleventh Edition\, Vo
 l. A "The Middle Ages" (2024) and will be editor for the volume's twelfth 
 edition. She is currently completing a book manuscript entitled Making Lit
 erary Persons: A Poetics of Voice in Chaucer. Other research interests inc
 lude fictionality\, periodization\, and medieval "discourse networks" (a l
 a Friedrich Kittler). Her work has appeared in New Literary History\, Resp
 resentations\, ELH\, JMEMS\, Florilegium\, and Exemplaria\, among other ve
 nues. \n\nQ & A to follow lecture.\n\nFREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC\n\nMasking
