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: 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...

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...
