ISBN: 9781843843627 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 187 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Ethics in the Arthurian Legend
ISBN: 9781843846871 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. An interdisciplinary and trans-historical investigation of the representation of ethics in Arthurian Literature. From its earliest days, the Arthurian legend has been preoccupied with questions of good kingship, the behaviours of a ruling class, and their effects on communities, societies, and nations, both locally and in imperial and colonizing contexts. Ethical considerations inform and are informed by local anxieties tied to questions of power and identity, especially where leadership, service, and governance are concerned; they provide a framework for understanding how the texts operate...
