Feminizing Chaucer
ISBN: 9780859916134 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Women are a major subject of Chaucer's writings, and their place in his work has attracted much recent critical attention. Feminizing Chaucer investigates Chaucer's thinking about women, and re-assesses it in the light of developments in feminist criticism. It explores Chaucer's handling of gender issues, of power roles, of misogynist stereotypes and the writer's responsibility for perpetuating them, and the complex meshing of activity and passivity in human experience. Mann argues that the traditionally 'female' virtues of patience and pity are central to Chaucer's moral ethos, and that this...

From Aesop to Reynard: Beast Literature in Medieval Britain
ISBN: 9780199217687 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What do stories about animals have to tell us about human beings?

Its guiding question is not 'what' but 'how' animals mean. Using this question to draw a clear distinction between beast fable and beast epic, it goes on to examine the complex variations of these forms that are to be found in the literature of medieval Britain, in English, French, Latin, and Scots. The range, variety, and brilliant inventiveness of this...

This collection is distinguished by a...
