Description

"A Death So Sublime" questions the limits of subjectivity and history--critical post-modernist issues--by way of the medieval king's body and its shifting, trans-historical representations in later moments of national crisis. It argues that England's modern national identity is constructed upon its monarch's physical frame, but the a priori materiality of the king's body and its biochemical processes of decay and decomposition renders it a postmortem agent. When England looks upon it monarch's remains, especially during periods of national vulnerability, attempts to sublimate them as a palliative, historical surface generates a material sublime that is a production of traumatic recall. The king's remains are an unsublimated excess, and I posit that they require us to honor the non-narrative corporeality of medieval bodies embedded in our modern selves as alternative, often "buried," historical productions. 1 situate this theoretical argument in relation to three reencounters between medieval bodies and their figurative "resurrections": 1) Anglo-Scandinavian cremations, 10th century Anglo-Dane relations, and the Beowulf poem; 2) Richards I, II, and III, the physiology of the Early Modern body politic, and Richard Coer de Lyon; and 3) the tortured bodies of AElla of Northumbria and King Edmund of East Anglia, the making of Anglo-Saxon Studies in the nineteenth century, and Anglo-American pulp fiction. Each chapter follows the pathways of desire across a range of historical nodes and presents a different problematic of medieval resurrection, inviting a meditation on subjectivity as a question for archaeological, textual, and cultural studies.
