Dante's Testaments: Essays in Scriptural Imagination
ISBN: 9780804734929 / Angielski / Twarda / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores the wide range of Dante's reading and the extent to which he transformed what he read, whether in the biblical canon, in the ancient Latin poets, in such Christian authorities as Augustine or Benedict, or in the "book of the world"--the globe traversed by pilgrims and navigators. The author argues that the exceptional independence and strength of Dante's forceful stance vis-a-vis other authors, amply on display in both the Commedia and so-called minor works, is informed by a deep knowledge of the Christian Scriptures. The Bible in question is not only the canonical...

Femme Poète: Madeleine de Scudéry Und Die 'Poésie Précieuse'
ISBN: 9783484550230 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 509 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In einer systematischen Untersuchung ihrer (nahezu vollstandig vorgelegten) Lyrik wird Madeleine de Scudery erstmals als Panegyrikin, Liebeslyrikerin, Salon- und Gelegenheitsdichterin erfasst. Ausgehend von unterschiedlichen Selbstbestimmungsversuchen intellektueller Frauen im Grand Siecle wird die Frage nach einem 'weiblichen Schreiben' im Umkreis von Preziositat und lyrischen Gattungstraditionen gestellt. Der aus neueren Theorien (Gender Studies) entwickelte Differenzbegriff erweist sich dabei als sinnvolles Kriterium, topisches und konventionelles Textmaterial in seinen Feinstrukturen neu...

Baudelaire's Poetic Patterns: The Secret Language of "Les Fleurs du Mal"
ISBN: 9789042005068 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This major new study of Baudelaire is a journey into the secret language of Les Fleurs du Mal: the expressive pliabilities of its verse-forms and syntax, the fluctuations of its rhythms, its significant sonorities, its metaphorical figures and dynamic image-patterns, its network of nerves and trigger-points, its shifting underground of parallels and contrasts, analogies and antitheses. Through a strategic selection of poems constituting a 'constellation', a formal pattern of mutually illuminating parts, the analysis aims to show that form and theme are indissoluble: that each movement in the...

Cligés
ISBN: 9780859913836 / Angielski / Twarda / 429 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cliges is generally thought to be the second of Chretien's Arthurian romances, probably written between 1185-87. This critical edition of Cligesis the first since Wendelin Foerster's in (1884) to take account of all the manuscripts. Based on the Guiot manuscript, it contains many emendations, producing a text closer to that of Chretien's original. Variant apparatus, notes, glossary, and editorial comment on the manuscripts accompany the text. STEWART GREGORY is in the Department of French, Leicester University; the late CLAUDE LUTTRELL was formerly in the Department of English at the same...

Heroines of the French Epic: A Second Selection of Chansons de Geste
ISBN: 9781843843610 / Angielski / Twarda / 434 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The epic tales of medieval France, called chansons de geste, or -songs of deeds-, provided the chief means of cultural and imaginative expression in the French language for over one hundred and fifty years (c.1100-1250), during one of the most significant periods of social change in the history of Western civilisation. Yet they remain largely unknown to most English-speaking readers of the twenty-first century. In Heroes of the Old French Epic (Boydell, 2005) Michael Newth translated a selection of the traditional militaristic narratives dominated by male heroes. This oral-based epic genre...

Guillaume de Machaut: The Capture of Alexandria
ISBN: 9780754601012 / Angielski / Twarda / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Guillaume de Machaut, a man famous for both his poetry and his musical compositions, wrote his Prise da Alexandrie (or Capture of Alexandria) just a few years after the death of his hero, King Peter I of Cyprus (1359a 69). It is a verse history of Petera s reign, and was Machauta s last major literary work. Petera s ancestors had ruled the island of Cyprus since the 1190s, and in 1365 Peter gained notoriety throughout western Europe as leader of a crusading expedition which captured the Egyptian port of Alexandria. His forces, however, were unable to retain control, and Peter was left with a...

Dreams of Lovers and Lies of Poets: Poetry, Knowledge and Desire in the Roman de la Rose
ISBN: 9781906540807 / Angielski / Twarda / 123 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 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,...

Als Hofakteur der klassischen Romane reagierte er im Interesse der Artusgesellschaft auf deren Defizienzen, wodurch die von den Stoouml;rungen provozierte Handlung zur Ruhe kam. In den spaauml;teren Romanen setzte ein Emanzipationsprozess zur Rolle des Protagonisten ein. Die mit dieser Rolle verbundene, personale Motivation stand im Widerstreit zu der im Gattungswissen verankerten Funktion der Gauvainfigur, was zu Kausalitatsproblemen in den Texten fuuuml;hrte. Trotz ihres Emanzipationsprozesses aber blieb die Figur in einem...

Questioning the view that the work is not representative of the poet's mature accomplishment, Suzanne Nash argues that the revisionary process involved in its creation led Valery to reflect on problems fundamental to poetic production and thus provided inspiration for all his later poetry.

Best known for his two chronicles, the Roman de Brut and the Roman de Rou, Wace, one of the great pioneers of twelfth-century French writing, is also the author of three hagiographical works: the Conception Nostre Dame and the Lives of St Margaret and St Nicholas.

Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris: Shifting Perspectives
ISBN: 9780754651116 / Twarda / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Maria Scott's study of the operation of irony in Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris contends that the principal target of the collection's spleen is its own readership. Baudelaire, as one of the most perceptive cultural commentators of the nineteenth century, was naturally very keenly aware of the growing dominance of the bourgeoisie in France, not least as a market for art and literature. Despite being dependent on this market for his own writing, the poet was highly critical of bourgeois values and attitudes. Scott builds on existing criticism of the collection to argue that these are...

Politics, Gender, and Genre: The Political Thought of Christine de Pizan
ISBN: 9780367283735 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Christine de Pizan (ca. 1364-1429) wrote more than twenty books, including poetry, defenses of women, critiques of war, Utopian visions, and general political and social commentary. This body of writing not only supported her during her lifetime but also brought her fame, patronage, and influence in high places. The revival of interest in her work is one of the major successes in the movement to recognize "lost" or overlooked women in the history of intellectual thought. Her courageous defense of women makes her, in the eyes of most, a protofeminist figure, and the depth of her feminism is...
