Its impressive lineup deepens our understanding of how literary voices evoke the elusive voices lurking beyond the text, capturing the absent authorial voice, the traces of scribal voices and the soundscape of the uttered text. It explores multiple dimensions of medieval voice and vocalisations, and the interactions between literary voices and their authorial, scribal and socio-political settings. It contends that through the theorizing of literary voices we can begin to understand the ways in which medieval voices mediate or proclaim an embodied selfhood or material presence, how they dictate or contest moral conventions, and how they create and sustain narrative soundscapes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction – Louise D’Arcens and Sif Rikhardsdottir\u003cbr\u003e1 Articulate voices – Ruth Evans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I: Narrative embodiment and voicing\u003cbr\u003e2 Voice of authority: Free indirect discourse in Chaucer’s \u003ci\u003eGeneral Prologue\u003c\/i\u003e – Helen Fulton\u003cbr\u003e3 Speaking in person – Fiona Somerset\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart II: Authoritative, ethical and orthodox voices\u003cbr\u003e4 The body speaks in \u003ci\u003eThe Franklin’s Tale\u003c\/i\u003e – Mishtooni Bose\u003cbr\u003e5 The sensology of the moral conscience: William Peraldus’s ethical voices – Richard Newhauser\u003cbr\u003e6 Langland parrhesiastes – Ian Cornelius\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart III: Materiality and textual voices\u003cbr\u003e7 Margery Kempe, the leprous woman and the voice of St Paul – Lawrence Warner\u003cbr\u003e8 Listening for the scribe: punctuation and the voicing of late medieval devotional literature – Sarah Noonan\u003cbr\u003e9 Parrot poet: Humphrey Newton and Bodleian Library, MS Lat.
