The Lady and the Virgin: Image, Attitude, and Experience in Twelfth-Century France
ISBN: 9780226300887 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Penny Schine Gold provides a bold analysis of key literary and artistic images of women in the Middle Ages and the relationship between these images and the actual experience of women. She argues that the complex interactions between men and women as expressed in both image and experience reflect a common pattern of ambivalence and contradiction. Thus, women are seen as both helpful and harmful, powerful and submissive, and the actuality of women's experience encompasses women in control and controlled, autonomous and dependent. Vividly recreating the rich texture of medieval life, Gold...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Medieval Douai was one of the wealthiest cloth towns of Flanders, and it left an enormous archive documenting the personal financial affairs of its citizens-wills, marriage agreements, business contracts, and records of court disputes over property rights of all kinds.

At the center of the transformation was a shift from a marital property regime based on custom to one based on contract. In the...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In The Birth of Purgatory, Jacques Le Goff, the brilliant medievalist and renowned Annales historian, is concerned not with theological discussion but with the growth of an idea, with the relation between belief and society, with mental structures, and with the historical role of the imagination. Le Goff argues that the doctrine of Purgatory did not appear in the Latin theology of the West before the late twelfth century, that the word purgatorium did not exist until then. He shows that the growth of a belief in an intermediate place between Heaven and Hell was closely...

ISBN: 9780230602366 / Angielski / Miękka / 506 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Eleanor's patrilineal descent, from a lineage already prestigious enough to have produced an empress in the eleventh century, gave her the lordship of Aquitaine.

In this collection, essays provide a context for Eleanor's life and further an evolving understanding of Eleanor's multifaceted career. A valuable collection on the greatest heiress of the medieval period.
