Outsiders: The Humanity and Inhumanity of Giants in Medieval French Prose Romance
ISBN: 9780268206659 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Giants are a ubiquitous feature of medieval romance. As remnants of a British prehistory prior to the civilization established, according to the Historium regum Britannie, by Brutus and his Trojan followers, giants are permanently at odds with the chivalric culture of the romance world. Whether they are portrayed as brute savages or as tyrannical pagan lords, giants serve as a limit against which the chivalric hero can measure himself. In Outsiders: The Humanity and Inhumanity of Giants in Medieval French Prose Romance, Sylvia Huot argues that the presence of giants allows for fantasies of...

Dreams of Lovers and Lies of Poets: Poetry, Knowledge and Desire in the Roman de la Rose
ISBN: 9781906540807 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 123 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Roman de la Rose explicitly offers an 'art of love', while also repeatedly asserting that the experience of love is impossible to put into words. An examination of the intertextual density of the Rose, with its citations and adaptations of a range of Latin authors, shows that the discourse of bodily desire, pleasure, and trauma emerges indirectly from the juxtaposition and conflation of sources. Huot's new book focuses on Guillaume de Lorris's use of the Ovidian corpus, and on Jean de Meun's dazzling orchestration of allusions to a wider range of Latin writers: principally Ovid, Boethius,...

Allegorical Play in the Old French Motet: The Sacred and the Profane in the Thirteenth-Century Polyphony
ISBN: 9780804727174 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The motet began as a form of sacred vocal music in several parts; a cantus firmus or tenor, drawn from sacred Latin chant, served as a foundation for one or more upper voices. The French motet was a well-established form by the middle of the thirteenth century, as were bilingual motets that combined at least one French and one Latin text among the upper voices. Though some attention is paid to melodic structure and the relationship between text and music, this book focuses on the literary artistry of the texts of French and bilingual motets, notably the special feature of motets that...
