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...

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.

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.

Dreaming in the Middle Ages
ISBN: 9780521410694 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 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,...

'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.

Mary Erler traces networks of female book ownership and exchange which have so far been obscure, and shows how women were responsible for owning as well as circulating devotional books.

An appendix lists a number of books not previously attributed to female ownership.
