"Bien sur." For a real taste of saucy early European humor, one must cross the Channel to France. There, in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, the sophisticated met the scatological in popular performances presented by roving troupes in public squares that skewered sex, politics, and religion.

ISBN: 9780226207889 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Part of every legend is true.

ISBN: 9780812248746 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 552 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Did you hear the one about the newlywed who rushes off for legal advice before the honeymoon is over? Or the husbands who arrange for an enormous tub in which to cure their sugary wives with a pinch of salt? How about a participatory processional toward marriage so sacrilegious that it puts Chaucer's pilgrimage to shame? And who could have imagined a medieval series of plays devoted to spouse-swapping? Jody Enders has heard and seen all this and more, and shares it in her second volume of performance-friendly translations of medieval French farces. Carefully culled from more than two...

Exploring the cultural connections among rhetoric, law, drama, literary creation and violence, the author addresses an issue which has long been of interest to students of the Middle Ages. Theories of rhetoric and law of the time reveal, she points out, that the ideology of torture was a widely accepted means for exploiting such essential elements of the stage and stagecraft as dramatic verisimilitude, pity, fear and catharsis to fabricate truth.

ISBN: 9781350416765 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For the first time, a group of distinguished authors come together to provide an authoritative exploration of the cultural history of tragedy in the Middle Ages. Reports of the so-called death of medieval tragedy, they argue, have been greatly exaggerated; and, for the Middle Ages, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Eight essays offer a blueprint for future study as they take up the extensive but much-neglected medieval engagement with tragic genres, modes, and performances from the vantage points of gender, politics, theology, history, social theory, anthropology, philosophy, economics, and...
