From Eden to Eternity: Creations of Paradise in the Later Middle Ages
ISBN: 9780812247237 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Did Adam and Eve need to eat in Eden in order to live? If so, did human beings urinate and defecate in paradise? And since people had no need for clothing, transportation, or food, what purpose did animals serve? Would carnivorous animals have preyed on other creatures? These were but a few of the questions that plagued medieval scholars for whom the idea of Eden proved an endless source of contemplation. As theologians attempted to reconcile their own experiences with the realities of the prelapsarian paradise, they crafted complex answers that included explanations of God's interaction...

ISBN: 9780812240306 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Fallible Authors Chaucer's Pardoner and Wife of Bath Alastair Minnis "In pages rich with explication of scholastic, literary, and historical material, Minnis recovers a medieval notion of authorial fallibility."--Seth Lerer, TimesOnline Can an outrageously immoral man or a scandalous woman teach morality or lead people to virtue? Does personal fallibility devalue one's words and deeds? Is it possible to separate the private from the public, to segregate individual failing from official function? Chaucer addressed these perennial issues through two problematic authority figures, the...

Translations of Authority in Medieval English Literature: Valuing the Vernacular
ISBN: 9781107403949 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In Translations of Authority in Medieval English Literature, leading critic Alastair Minnis presents the fruits of a long-term engagement with the ways in which crucial ideological issues were deployed in vernacular texts. The concept of the vernacular is seen as possessing a value far beyond the category of language - as encompassing popular beliefs and practices which could either confirm or contest those authorized by church and state institutions. Minnis addresses the crisis for vernacular translation precipitated by the Lollard heresy; the minimal engagement with Nominalism in late...

ISBN: 9781107064867 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 177 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Geoffrey Chaucer is the best-known and most widely read of all medieval British writers, famous for his scurrilous humour and biting satire against the vices and absurdities of his age.

This concise book is an ideal starting point for study of all his major poems, particularly The Canterbury Tales, to which two chapters are devoted. It...

ISBN: 9780521431842 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 'Tragedy' has been understood in a variety of conflicting ways over the centuries, and the term has been applied to a wide range of literary works. In this book, H. A. Kelly explores the various meanings given to tragedy, from Aristotle's most basic notion (any serious story, even with a happy ending), via Roman ideas and practices, to the middle ages, when Averroes considered tragedy to be the praise of virtue but Albert the Great thought of it as the recitation of the foul deeds of degenerate men. Professor Kelly demonstrates the importance of finding out what writers like Horace, Ovid,...

Magister Amoris: The Roman de la Rose and Vernacular Hermeneutics
ISBN: 9780198187547 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Roman de la Rose was a major bestseller--largely due to its robust treatment of "natural" sexuality. This study concentrates on the ways in which Jean de Meun, in imitation of Ovid, assumed the mock-magisterium (or mastership) of love. Alastair J. Minnis considers allegorical versus literalistic expression in the poem, Jean's provocative use of plain and sometimes obscene language, the challenge of its homosocial and perhaps even homoerotic constructions, and the problematic translation of literary authority from Latin into the vulgar tongue.

Chaucer & Pagan Antiquity
ISBN: 9780859910989 / Angielski / Twarda / 1982 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Professor Minnis argues that the paganism in Troilus and Criseyde and The Knight's Taleis not simply a backdrop but must be central to our understanding of the texts. Chaucer's two great pagan poems, l>Troilus and Criseyde/l> and l>The Knight's Tale/l>, belong to the literary genre known as the romance of antiquity' (which first appeard in the mid 12th century), in which the ancient pagan world is shown on its own terms, without the blatant Christian bias against paganism characteristic of works like the l>Chanson de Roland/l>, where the writer is concerned with present-day rather than...

Public Reading and the Reading Public in Late Medieval England and France
ISBN: 9780521673518 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) For a long time scholars have generally shared the belief that late medieval authors - particularly in England and especially Chaucer - wrote for private readers. This book challenges that view and current orthodoxies in orality-literacy theory. It assembles and analyses in depth, for the first time, an overwhelming mass of evidence that in both Britain and France from the mid-fourteenth to the late-fifteenth century, literate, elite audiences continued to prefer public reading (aloud in groups) to private reading. This book offers the first sustained critique of Walter Ong's Orality and...
