Jane Chance, the Andrew W. Mellon Chair in English at Rice University, has taught medieval literature for thirty-nine years, first, at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, after receiving her Ph.D. in English from the University of Illinois in 1971, and then at Rice University, beginning in 1973. Former first President and founder of the Consortium for the Teaching of the Middle Ages, Inc., Chance has published twenty-one books and nearly a hundred articles (many reprinted) and book reviews, on mythography and the Latin influence on medieval literary culture, Old and Middle English literature, Chaucer, medieval women, and modern medievalism (Tolkien in particular).
Among the titles of Chance's books include The Genius Figure in Antiquity and the Middle Ages (Columbia UP,1975); Woman as Hero in Old English Literature (Syracuse UP, 1986); Christine de Pizan's "Letter of Othea to Hector" (D.S. Brewer, 1990); Medieval Mythography: From Roman North Africa to the School of Chartres, AD 433-1177 (UP Florida, 1994)--winner of the 1994 South Central Modern Language Association Book Award; Chaucer's Mythography: The Fabulation of Sexual Politics (Minnesota UP,1995); several collections, including The Mythographic Art: Classical Fable and the Rise of the Vernacular in Early France and England and Gender and Text in the Later Middle Ages (both UPF); and an edition of the fifteenth-century poem Assembly of Gods (Medieval Institute Publications). Volume 2 of Medieval Mythography, subtitled From the School of Chartres to the Court at Avignon, 1177-1350, was published in the fall of 2000. Her essay on Beowulf, "The Structural Unity of Beowulf: The Problem of Grendel's Mother," has appeared in print in seven different venues, beginning in 1980 and most recently in the Norton Beowulf critical edition (2001), which features Seamus Heaney's new translation. Her edited collection of essays, Women Medievalists in the Academy, was published by University of Wisconsin Press in 2005. Her most recent book is The Literary Subversions of Medieval Women for the New Middle Ages Series at Palgrave Macmillan (2007), which was awarded the 2008 SCMLA Book Prize. Her essay on Heloise's letters to Abelard (in Bonnie Wheeler's collected edition of Listening to Heloise: The Voice of a Twelfth-Century Woman) also won the first biennial Best Essay prize from Society for Medieval Feminist Scholarship in 2005.
Jane Chance's two monographs on Tolkien, Tolkien's Art: A Mythology for England (1979) and The Lord of the Rings: The Mythology of Power (1992), were reprinted in revised editions in 2001 (Kentucky UP) and the latter has been translated into Japanese (Hayakawa Shobo, 2003). Her edited collection, Tolkien the Medievalist, appeared in the fall of 2002 (Routledge Ltd.) and was selected as a finalist for the Mythopoeic Award in Inklings Scholarship in 2004 and 2005; a second collection, Tolkien and the Invention of Myth: A Reader, was published in 2004 (University of Kentucky Press). Her coedited collection, Tolkien's Modern Middle Ages, with Alfred K. Sewers, appeared in November 2005 through Palgrave Macmillan. She has also guest-edited two issues of Studies in Medievalism, on Medievalism in the Twentieth Century (1982, rpt. 1991) and The Inklings (1991). She has taught Tolkien at Rice since 1976 as a college course, a regularly scheduled course in the English Department, and as a Continuing Studies course. She appeared briefly in the recent National Geographic video on Tolkien and her books on Tolkien summarized on their website, and has been interviewed about Tolkien by the Times Literary Supplement, New York Times, TV Guide, Los Angeles Times, the BBC of London and CBC, NPR, and many other newspapers, journals, and radio stations. She is also interviewed in the feature documentary Ringers: Lord of the Fans (2005, dvd).
General editor of a translation series entitled the Library of Medieval Women (published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd.), with twenty-three titles published, Series Editor of the completed Greenwood Guides to Historic Events in the Medieval World, with twelve titles published in 2004-5, and Series Editor of the even newer Praeger Series on the Middle Ages, with the first book appearing in 2007, she has been an NEH and Guggenheim Fellow, a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton (1988-89), Visiting Research Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Edinburgh (1994), Eccles Fellow at the University of Utah Humanities Center (1994-95), and director of both an NEH Summer Seminar for College Teachers on Chaucer and Mythography (1985) and an NEH Institute for College Teachers on "The Literary Traditions of Medieval Women" (1997).
