This book examines medieval discourse on excrement.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [225]-250) and index.

Introduction -- The medieval body : disciplining material and symbolic excrement -- The rhizomatic body -- Moral filth and the sinning body: hell purgatory, resurrection -- Gendered filth -- Chaucerian fecopoetics -- Urban excrement in The Canterbury tales -- Sacred filth : relics, ritual, and remembering in The prioress's tale -- The excremental human god and redemptive filth : The pardoner's tale -- The rhizomatic pilgrim body and alchemical poetry -- Chaucerian fecology and wasteways :The nun's priest's tale -- Looking behind, looking ahead -- Looking behind -- Waste studies : a brief introduction -- Bottoms up! A manifestofor waste studies.

This interdisciplinary book integrates the historical practices regarding material excrement and its symbolic representation, with special focus on fecopoetics and Chaucer's literary agenda. Filth in all its manifestations - material (including privies, dung on fields, and as alchemical ingredient), symbolic (sin, misogynist slander, and theological wrestling with the problem of filth in sacred contexts) and linguistic (a semantic range including dirt and dung) - helps us to see how excrement is vital to understanding the Middle Ages. Applying fecal theories to late medieval culture, Morrison concludes by proposing Waste Studiesas a new field of ethical and moral criticism for literary scholars.
