Abstract
The Legend of Good Women conceptualizes invention as an affective force, linking the processes of emergence that precede the mind’s conscious recognition of emotion with the inventional processes which culminate in poetic art. The Prologue introduces a theoretical method for reconceptualizing invention, and the legends dramatize the process by which affect and invention collapse into emotion and poetry. In so doing, the poem attempts to gesture behind both the discourses that shape late medieval ideas of gender and the affect that infuses those discourses with their personal and cultural power.
