This collection of essays dedicated to her work examines gender in medieval English writing along several axes: poetic, philosophical, material-textual, and historical. Gender, Poetry, and the Form of Thought in Later Medieval Literature focuses on the ways that the medieval body becomes a site of inquiry and agency, whether in the form of the idealized feminine body of secular and religious lyric, the sexually permissive and permeable body of fabliaux, or the intercessory body of religious devotional writing. This collection asks, how do imagined bodies frame literary explorations of philosophical categories such as nature, the will, and emotion? What can accounts of specific historical medieval women—as authors, patrons, interlocutors—tell us about such representations? In what ways do devotional practices and texts intersect with the representations of gender? The essays span a broad range of medieval literary works, from the lais of Marie de France to Pearl to Piers Plowman and the poetry of Geoffrey Chaucer, and a broad range of methodological approaches, from philosophy to affect and manuscript studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: The Form of Thought\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJennifer Jahner (Caltech) and Ingrid Nelson (Amherst College)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 1: Form and Knowing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003eChaucerian Insomnia and the Hospitality of Sleeplessness in Late Medieval Dream Visions \u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eJamie Taylor (Bryn Mawr College) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003eCloudy Thoughts: Cognition and Affect in Troilus and Criseyde\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephanie Trigg (University of Melbourne)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003eVoluntarism and the Self in Piers Plowman\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert Pasnau (University of Colorado, Boulder) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003eMargery Kempe and the Paradoxical Presence of God\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eKate Crassons (Lehigh University) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Part 2: Material Poetics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003eBoth ‘Gostly Sense’ and ‘Amerouse Sentensce’: The Nightingale’s Resurrection as Hybrid Text\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmy N.
