Women of the Gilte Legende: A Selection of Middle English Saints Lives
ISBN: 9781843842996 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 155 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Gilte Legende was widely read as a model for everyday life, including the education of women through examples set by early Christian martyrs. This book divides the lives of female saints into: the "ryght hooly virgins," who vocally defend their bodies against Roman persecution; "holy mothers," who give up their traditional role to pursue a life of contemplation; the "repentant sinners," who convert and voice their defiance against a society that demanded silence in women; and the "holy transvestites," who cast off their gender identity to find absolution and salvation. Their lives reach...

Flaying in the Pre-Modern World: Practice and Representation
ISBN: 9781843844525 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Skin is the parchment upon which identity is written; class, race, ethnicity, and gender are all legible upon the human surface. Removing skin tears away identity, and leaves a blank slate upon which law, punishment, sanctity, or monstrosity can be inscribed; whether as an act of penal brutality, as a comic device, or as a sign of spiritual sacrifice, it leaves a lasting impression about the qualities and nature of humanity. Flaying often functioned as an imaginative resource for medieval and early modern artists and writers, even though it seems to have been rarely practiced in reality. From...

Torture and Brutality in Medieval Literature: Negotiations of National Identity
ISBN: 9781843843931 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. An ugly subject, but one that needs to be treated thoroughly and comprehensively, with a discreet wit and no excessive relish. These needs are richly satisfied in Larissa Tracy's bold and important book. DEREK PEARSALL, Professor Emeritus, Harvard University. Torture - that most notorious aspect of medieval culture and society - has evolved into a dominant mythology, suggesting that the Middle Ages was a period during which sadistic torment was inflicted on citizens with impunity and without provocation: popular museums displaying such gruesome implements as the rack, the strappado, the...

Heads Will Roll: Decapitation in the Medieval and Early Modern Imagination
ISBN: 9789004211551 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The decapitation motif recurs in nearly all medieval and early modern genres, from saints' lives and epics to comedies and romances, yet decollation is often little regarded, save as a marker of humanity (that is, as the moment mortality exits) or inhumanity (that is, as the moment the supernatural enters). However, as a seat of reason, wisdom, and even the soul, the head has long been afforded a special place in the body politic, even when separated from its body proper. Capitalizing upon the enduring fascination with decapitation in European culture, this collection examines--through a...

ISBN: 9789004292796 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 645 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The spectacle of the wounded body figured prominently in the Middle Ages, from images of Christ's wounds on the cross, to the ripped and torn bodies of tortured saints who miraculously heal through divine intervention, to graphic accounts of battlefield and tournament wounds--evidence of which survives in the archaeological record--and literary episodes of fatal (or not so fatal) wounds. This volume offers a comprehensive look at the complexity of wounding and wound repair in medieval literature and culture, bringing together essays from a wide range of sources and disciplines including arms...
