The Roman de Troie by Benoît de Sainte-Maure: A Translation
ISBN: 9781843844693 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 486 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Benoit de Sainte-Maure's Roman de Troie, dating to around 1165, is, along with the Roman de Thebes and the Roman d'Eneas, one of the three "romances of antiquity" (romans d'antiquite). These romances launched the plots, themes and structures of the genre, then blossoming in the hands of authors such as Chretien de Troyes. As an account of the Trojan War, Benoit's work is of necessity a poem about war and its causes, how it was fought and what its consequences were for the combatants. But the author's choice of the octosyllabic rhyming couplet, his fondness for description, his ability to...

Two Medieval Outlaws: Eustace the Monk and Fouke Fitz Waryn
ISBN: 9781843841876 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Eustace the Monk and Fouke Fitz Waryn belong in the great tradition of medieval outlaws, and aspects of their lives, part-fact, part-fiction, find a reflection in the life of that most famous of all outlaws, Robin Hood. Glyn Burgess puts into modern English the two romances of the thirteenth century which relate their deeds, Li Romans de Witasse le Moine and Fouke le Fitz Waryn. He presents the historical reality of their respective "heroes," important but neglected figures: both were born around 1170; both broke with their overlords, the count of Boulogne and King John, at around the same...

Twenty-Four Lays from the French Middle Ages
ISBN: 9781781383360 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This prose translation of twenty-four lays from the French Middle Ages brings to the general reader as well as to scholars a complement to the twelve well-known lays by Marie de France, the possible creator of the genre. These lays are mostly anonymous, and the majority, but by no means all of them, are, like Marie's lays, centred on a love interest of some kind in a variety of settings. But, unlike Marie's lays, their treatment varies from the courtly and sophisticated to the comic or the tragic, thereby illustrating the range of poems covered by the term lai in twelfth- and...

ISBN: 9781874045861 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 287 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. St Brendan, also known as Brendan the Navigator and Brendan of Clonfert, was born in County Kerry, Ireland. The Annals of Inisfallen record his birth as being in the year 486, and he is thought to have died in 575.

French Arthurian Literature IV: Eleven Old French Narrative Lays
ISBN: 9781843841180 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 536 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The lay was a flourishing genre in the French courts of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, related to romance rather as the modern short story is to the novel. Its most famous exponent is arguably Marie de France, but in addition to her twelve lays, a number of others, mainly anonymous, have also come down to us, usually referred to as Breton lays or simply as narrative lays. The eleven anonymous lays presented in this volume show the varied nature of the genre. First brought together as a collection by Prudence Tobin in 1976, they have been freshly edited from the manuscript sources. They...

The Anglo-Norman Lay of Haveloc: Text and Translation
ISBN: 9781843844136 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 237 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The story of Haveloc first appears in the oldest chronicle of the kings of England Britain, Geffrei Gaimar's Estoire des Engleis, and it is found in a substantial number of later accounts of English history. It is unusual in that it seemingly deals with -real- persons and events; but although names for the prototypes of Haveloc and other personages have been put forward, any search for historical evidence has been largely fruitless. The Haveloc story remains a legend, indeed one of the most compelling legends of the Middle Ages. The Anglo-Norman lay of Haveloc survives in only two...

ISBN: 9789004247055 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 402 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Best known for his two chronicles, the Roman de Brut and the Roman de Rou, Wace, one of the great pioneers of twelfth-century French writing, is also the author of three hagiographical works: the Conception Nostre Dame and the Lives of St Margaret and St Nicholas. The Conception is the first vernacular work to focus on the life of the Virgin Mary. Emphasising Margaret's concern for women in labour, the Margaret seemingly contributed to the saint's broad popularity. The Nicholas, with its many miracles involving children, equally played a key role in...

The Brendan Legend: Texts and Versions deals with the vast textual tradition relating to the Irish Saint Brendan, known as 'The Navigator'.

The Voyage of St Brendan: Representative Versions of the Legend in English Translation with Indexes of Themes and Motifs from the Stories
ISBN: 9780859897556 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 413 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In recent years Brendan's voyage has become increasingly popular as a topic of interest, not only in medieval studies, but also within the history of travel literature in general. One of the legend's charms is that it can be read in a number of ways: as a thinly disguised account of Irish travels and discoveries in the Atlantic, as a seafaring story in the fashion of the Irish immrama (literally 'rowings out'), or as an allegorical tale of Man's journey through life. It also has links with the monastic culture of its day, and contains echoes of the Odyssey and the Aeneid, Sinbad the Sailor...

The Song of Roland
ISBN: 9780140445329 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) On 15 August 778, Charlemagne's army was returning from a successful expedition against Saracen Spain when its rearguard was ambushed in a remote Pyrenean pass. Out of this skirmish arose a stirring tale of war, which was recorded in the oldest extant epic poem in French. The Song of Roland, written by an unknown poet, tells of Charlemagne's warrior nephew, Lord of the Breton Marches, who valiantly leads his men into battle against the Saracens, but dies in the massacre, defiant to the end. In majestic verses, the battle becomes a symbolic struggle between Christianity and paganism,...
