title = "'In remembrance of his persone': transhistorical empathy and the Chaucerian face",
abstract = "From the earliest manuscript images through to cinematic depictions, Chaucer{\textquoteright}s {\textquoteleft}persone{\textquoteright}, that is his face and body, has been a key focus in the pursuit of transhistorical intimacy with the author. Chaucer{\textquoteright}s physical self has been portrayed repeatedly across subsequent centuries in an array of media. Drawing upon the hermeneutic concept of Einf{\"u}hlung ({\textquoteleft}feeling into{\textquoteright}) to examine the long {\textquoteleft}empathetic afterlife{\textquoteright} enjoyed by Chaucer{\textquoteright}s {\textquoteleft}persone{\textquoteright}, D{\textquoteright}Arcens explores what Chaucer{\textquoteright}s face and body have come to mean to post-medieval audiences; she traces how these differences intersect with the constantly changing nature of Chaucer{\textquoteright}s legacy, especially as he and his work have been deemed to reflect national literary and comic traditions.",
