During and after the Hundred Years War, English rulers struggled with a host of dynastic difficulties, including problems of royal succession, volatile relations with their French cousins, and the consolidation of their colonial ambitions toward the areas of Wales and Scotland. Patricia Ingham brings these precarious historical positions to bear on readings of Arthurian literature in Sovereign Fantasies, a provocative work deeply engaged with postcolonial and gender theory. Ingham argues that late medieval English Arthurian romance has broad cultural ambitions, offering a fantasy of insular...

Focusing upon language, the text explores how stereotypes of gender and class encode cultural myths that reinforce the social order. The author argues that none of the novelists considered, either male or female, completely accepts either the stereotyped figures or the authorized story. The figures of the angel and the whore are reassessed and modified...

The Medieval New: Ethical Ambivalence in an Age of Innovation
ISBN: 9780812247060 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Despite the prodigious inventiveness of the Middle Ages, the era is often characterized as deeply suspicious of novelty. But if poets and philosophers urged caution about the new, Patricia Clare Ingham contends, their apprehension was less the result of a blind devotion to tradition than a response to radical expansions of possibility in diverse realms of art and science. Discovery and invention provoked moral questions in the Middle Ages, serving as a means to adjudicate the ethics of invention and opening thorny questions of creativity and desire. The Medieval New... Despite the prodigious inventiveness of the Middle Ages, the era is often characterized as deeply suspicious of novelty. But if poets and philosoph... |

The Witch and the Hysteric: The Monstrous Medieval in Benjamin Christensen's Häxan
ISBN: 9780692230152 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Benjamin Christensen's 1922 Swedish/Danish film Haxan (known under its English title as Witchcraft Through the Ages) has entranced, entertained, shocked, and puzzled audiences for nearly a century. The film mixes documentary with fantasy, history with theatrics, religion and science, the medieval past and modern culture. This uncanny content is compounded by the film's formal strangeness, a mixture of quasi-documentary with fictional episodes, illustrated lectures alongside docudrama recreations and dreamscapes. Is this a documentary, a horror flick, or both? In this chapbook, authors Doty...
