The English Manuscripts of Richard Rolle: A Descriptive Catalogue
ISBN: 9780859898201 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Richard Rolle - the Yorkshire hermit, visionary and transmitter of religious counsel - was widely recognised in the later English Middle Ages as a major spiritual author. However, this influential figure poses difficulties for scholars and remains a largely untapped literary resource. Encompassing over one hundred and twenty books, Rolle's work is central to the largely uninvestigated sacred culture of that period and provides scholars with a rich source of insight. Ralph Hanna has collected and catalogued this important body of work following detailed research of the manuscript evidence over...

Editing Medieval Texts: An Introduction, Using Exemplary Materials Derived from Richard Rolle, 'Super Canticum' 4
ISBN: 9781781382721 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book draws on a lengthy experience of teaching graduates how to approach medieval books. It leads the reader through the stages of the editorial process, using part of Richard Rolle's Commentary on the Song of Songs as the working exemplar. In the humane sciences, the need for texts is ubiquitous; they provide the regular objects of study. But far less prevalent than editions is any discussion of the premises underlying these objects, or the mechanisms by which they have been constructed. This volume takes up both challenges. First, in a preliminary chapter, it discusses what is at stake...

Richard Morris's Prick of Conscience: A Corrected and Amplified Reading Text
ISBN: 9780199680993 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 413 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This mid fourteenth-century poem, a discussion of the 'contempt of the world' and the 'Four Last Things', was one of the most popular Middle English texts in its time, as indicated by the large number of extant copies, and illustrations of it in the windows of All Saints, North Street, in York. It was a widely influential compendium of religious instruction, originating in Yorkshire, but more widely disseminated, and thus representing this important regional culture, as well as its absorption into a nationwide religious culture. The only edition, by Richard Morris (1863), is now generally...

London Literature, 1300-1380
ISBN: 9780521100175 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. English literary culture in the fourteenth century was vibrant and expanding. Its focus, however, was still strongly local, not national. This study examines in detail the literary production from the capital before, during, and after the time of the Black Death. In this major contribution to the field, Ralph Hanna charts the development and the generic and linguistic features particular to London writing. He uncovers the interactions between texts and authors across a range of languages and genres: not just Middle English, but Anglo-Norman and Latin; not just romance, but also law, history,...

Pursuing History: Middle English Manuscripts and Their Texts
ISBN: 9780804726139 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume argues, through a series of selected local studies, for the importance of textual criticism as a fundamental act of historical interpretation and recovery, pointing out the need for attention to the physical bearers of our knowledge of the English Middle Ages, the books themselves, and the ignored and alienating features of manuscript culture. It examines medieval book production, the textual uses of manuscripts, the nature of medieval meditations and looks in detail at work by Chaucer and Langland. In conclusion, the volume considers the problem of textual annotation in the light...

ISBN: 9781789620238 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

The Penn Commentary on Piers Plowman, Volume 2: C Passūs 5-9; B Passūs 5-7; A Passūs 5-8
ISBN: 9780812248913 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The first full commentary on Piers Plowman since the late nineteenth century, the Penn Commentary places the allegorical dream-vision of Piers Plowman within the literary, historical, social, and intellectual contexts of late medieval England, and within the long history of critical interpretation of the poem, assessing past scholarship while offering original materials and insights throughout. The authors' line-by-line, section by section, and passus by passus commentary on all three versions of the poem and on the stages of its multiple revisions reveals new aspects...

Speculum Vitae: A Reading Text, Volumes 1 and 2
ISBN: 9780199564019 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 390 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Speculum vitae is the hitherto unedited translation into Middle English verse of Lorens of Orleans's profoundly influential pastoral treatise, Somme le roi. The translation, in Yorkshire dialect, is a vast work, 16,000 lines in four-stress couplets, and more than forty extant copies testify to its popularity. Despite the evident editorial difficulties which it presents, the previous neglect of Speculum vitae is to be regretted. It is the product of an important regional centre, and should take its place alongside the other monuments of this tradition: Cursor Mundi, The Prick of Conscience,...

The Buke of the Howlat by Richard Holland
ISBN: 9781897976395 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Buke of the Howlat was composed in the late 1440s for Elizabeth Douglas, wife of Archibald Douglas, earl of Moray. It is one of the great monuments of fifteenth-century Scots verse, perhaps the finest example of Older Scots alliterative poetry, telling a comic fable of an owl's borrowed feathers, his pride and ultimate fall, and a bird parliament which decides his fate. At its centre is a heraldic excurses which leads to a celebration of the virtues of the Douglas family and their service to Robert Bruce in the Scottish Wars of Independence. Its themes therefore focus on Scottish freedom,...
