Cambridge Readings in Dante's Comedy
ISBN: 9780521155205 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Originally published in 1981, the ten essays in this collection were originally delivered as public Lecturae Dantis in the University of Cambridge. As far as possible the contributors have preserved the form of the original lectures, which combined elements of the running commentary and the critical essay. Each reading is devoted to a single canto of the Comedy, and the text of that canto has been broken down into manageable units. The authors provide information about background and context and elucidate obscurities or difficult allusions, but their primary concern has been to give a...

Ideas and Forms of Tragedy from Aristotle to the Middle Ages
ISBN: 9780521431842 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 'Tragedy' has been understood in a variety of conflicting ways over the centuries, and the term has been applied to a wide range of literary works. In this book, H. A. Kelly explores the various meanings given to tragedy, from Aristotle's most basic notion (any serious story, even with a happy ending), via Roman ideas and practices, to the middle ages, when Averroes considered tragedy to be the praise of virtue but Albert the Great thought of it as the recitation of the foul deeds of degenerate men. Professor Kelly demonstrates the importance of finding out what writers like Horace, Ovid,...

This collection examines the significance of the ways in which writing was used in the Celtic countries between c.400 and c.1500.

Clerical Discourse and Lay Audience in Late Medieval England
ISBN: 9780521023276 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book investigates how late medieval English writers who translated specialized academic knowledge from Latin into English often projected unprecedented sorts of lay audiences for their writing, and worried about the potential results of making the information they presented more widely available. The well-known concerns with clerical corruption and lay education of authors such as Langland, Trevisa, and Wyclif are linked to those of more obscure writers in both Latin and English, some only recently edited, or only extant in manuscript.

Richard Rolle and the Invention of Authority
ISBN: 9780521033152 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is the first literary study of the career of Richard Rolle (d. 1349), a Yorkshire hermit and mystic who was one of the most widely-read English writers of the late Middle Ages. Nicholas Watson proposes a new chronology of Rolle's writings, and offers the first literary analyses of a number of his works. He shows how Rolle's career, as a writer of passionate religious works in Latin and later in English, has as its principal focus the establishment of his own spiritual authority. The book also addresses wider issues, suggesting a new way of looking at mystical writing in general, and...

Chaucer's Legendary Good Women
ISBN: 9780521416559 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Chaucer's Legend of Good Women is a testament to the disparate views of women prevalent in the Middle Ages. Dr. Percival contends that the complex medieval notion of Woman informs the structure of the poem: in the Prologue Chaucer praises conventional ideas of female virtue, while in the Legends he demonstrates a humorous skepticism, apparently influenced by a contemporary antifeminist tradition. This is a comprehensive account of the Legend's interpretative puzzles, which does not ignore the element of political writing and adds to a close and nuanced reading of the text an examination of...

Arthurian Narrative in the Latin Tradition
ISBN: 9780521021524 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book takes a unique look at the Latin Arthurian tradition, placing authors such as Geoffrey of Monmouth in the context of Latin histories, monastic chronicles, saints' lives, and other Latin prose Arthurian narratives. Placing them against a background of the Angevin court of Henry II, the book introduces a new set of texts into the Arthurian canon and suggests a way to understand their place in that tradition. The unfamiliar works are summarized for the reader, and there are extensive quotations, with translations, throughout.

Public Reading and the Reading Public in Late Medieval England and France
ISBN: 9780521673518 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. For a long time scholars have generally shared the belief that late medieval authors - particularly in England and especially Chaucer - wrote for private readers. This book challenges that view and current orthodoxies in orality-literacy theory. It assembles and analyses in depth, for the first time, an overwhelming mass of evidence that in both Britain and France from the mid-fourteenth to the late-fifteenth century, literate, elite audiences continued to prefer public reading (aloud in groups) to private reading. This book offers the first sustained critique of Walter Ong's Orality and...

Texts and the Self in the Twelfth Century
ISBN: 9780521024471 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book analyzes key twelfth-century Latin and vernacular texts that articulate a subjective autobiographical stance. The reader is led into a complex maze of paths, through intellectually daunting issues such as the relation of subject to object, self to body, body to text and text to language. The contention is that the self forged in medieval literature could not have come into existence without the gap between Latinity and the vernacular and the shift in perspective in the twelfth century toward a visual and spatial orientation.

Documentary Culture and the Making of Medieval English Literature
ISBN: 9780521824842 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Emily Steiner describes the rich intersection between legal documents and English literature in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. She argues that documentary culture (including charters, testaments, patents and seals) enabled writers to think in new ways about the conditions of textual production in late Medieval England.

Fictions of Identity in Medieval France
ISBN: 9780521026383 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this study of vernacular French narrative from the twelfth century through the later Middle Ages, Donald Maddox considers the construction of identity in a wide range of fictions. He focuses on crucial encounters, widespread in medieval literature, in which characters are informed about fundamental aspects of their own circumstances and selfhood. The study offers many new perspectives on the poetic and cultural implications of identity as an imaginary construct during the long formative period of French literature.

Women and Literature in Britain, 1150-1500
ISBN: 9780521576208 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This collection of essays focuses on the questions of women's access to a written culture and their representation in literature in late medieval Britain. It explores women's engagement with Anglo-Norman, English, Welsh and Latin, and addresses such issues as orality and literacy and women's exclusion from a written tradition. It considers the historical evidence for women's activity as writers, patrons and readers, and examines the representation of women within different literary genres--both secular and religious--their possession or lack of power, and their roles as lovers, mothers and...

Gestures and Looks in Medieval Narrative
ISBN: 9780521815642 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Gestures and looks played an even more important role in public and private exchanges of medieval society, than they do today. Gestures meant more than words, for example, in ceremonies of homage and fealty. In this compelling study, medievalist Burrow examines the role of non-verbal communication in a range of narrative texts, including Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde, the anonymous Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Malory's Morte D'arthur, the romances of Chretien de Troyes, the prose Lancelot, Boccaccio's Il Filostrato, and Dante's Commedia.

'Floire and Blancheflor' and the European Romance
ISBN: 9780521027670 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This comparative study examines Floire and Blancheflor and shows how medieval writers from Spain, France, Italy, England, and Scandinavia reworked this story from the twelfth through the sixteenth centuries to develop and emphasize social, political, religious and artistic goals. It shows the influence of a little-known medieval Spanish version, especially as a precursor to Boccaccio's Il Filocolo, and examines important issues of the development of prose fiction in medieval and Renaissance Europe.

Dreaming in the Middle Ages
ISBN: 9780521019958 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This wide-ranging study examines the role of the dream in medieval culture with reference to philosophical, legal and theological writings as well as literary and autobiographical works. Stephen Kruger studies the development of theories of dreaming, from the Neoplatonic and patristic writers to late medieval re-interpretations, and shows how these theories relate to autobiographical accounts and to more popular treatments of dreaming. He considers previously neglected material including one important dream vision by Nicole Oresme, and arrives at a new understanding of this literary genre,...
