Christine de Pizan and Biblical Wisdom : A Femisinst-Theological Point of View
ISBN: 9780874626995 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The fifteen-century writer Christine de Pizan very adeptly used various aspects of the religious traditions of her day in her confrontation of misogynous beliefs and attitudes. In this book the insights of today's feminist scholars in religion are used to demonstrate that one of the more intriguing religious elements Christine drew upon was the female figure of biblical Wisdom. While the use of Wisdom in the Medieval era in a general theological and literary sense was quite prevalent, Christine took a significant step beyond customary symbolic usage in that Wisdom was called upon as a...

The Ballads of Kukutis
ISBN: 9781906570262 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In creating the character of Kukutis, Marcelijus Martinaitis found a voice which could articulate the anger, frustration and passions of the Lithuanian people, a voice which, contrary to all expectations, managed to escape the Soviet censor's pen and which, a decade after publication of The Ballads of Kukutis, was to become the catalyst for revolution in the Baltics. Indeed, during the mass political rallies of the late 1980s and early '90s, poems from The Ballads were chanted, sung and performed everywhere.

Between Baudelaire and Mallarmé: Voice, Conversation and Music
ISBN: 9780754667452 / Angielski / Twarda / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As the status of poetry became less and less certain over the course of the nineteenth century, poets such as Baudelaire and Mallarme began to explore ways to ensure that poetry would not be overtaken by music in the hierarchy of the arts. Helen Abbott examines the verse and prose poetry of these two important poets, together with their critical writings, to address how their attitudes towards the performance practice of poetry influenced the future of both poetry and music. Central to her analysis is the issue of 'voice', a term that remains elusive in spite of its broad application....

Latin Poetic Irony in the Roman de la Rose
ISBN: 9780905205328 / Angielski / Twarda / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Roman de la Rose is a work of ambivalence and paradox: recurring images and topics are handled in a contradictory manner by different speakers. These apparent oppositions spring, as Dr. Pelen argues in this important study, from an underlying structure of irony deriving from the poem's Latin models. The two traditions of irony examined are those of Ovidian love poetry, transmitted through goliardic lyric and dream visions, and of Boethian didactic, mediated by Alain de Lille. The impact of these traditions on the authors of Le Roman de la Rose is then analysed. What emerges is a stance...

Poets as Players: Theme and Variation in Late Medieval French Poetry
ISBN: 9780804718288 / Angielski / Twarda / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In close readings of a wide range of texts significant during their own time but little studied today, the author presents a new view of late medieval French poetry in all its subtle variety: its quirkiness, its sumptuous and acrobatic rhyming, its frequent moral seriousness, its occasional bawdiness, and the ambiguities of its authorial 'I'. The book is centered on the rich metaphor of poetry as play - a joyous activity, a game in which both the poet and the public may be players. The number of word games is legion, and the late medieval poets play different kinds involving puns, rhymes,...

Guerin's study offers a provocative and convincing reappraisal of the entire Arthurian tradition. It examines the role of troubled genealogy in the interpretation of several of the most enigmatic Arthurian texts, and the consequences of this troubled generation for the difficult movement toward an articulation of tragedy, a concept generally believed to be absent from medieval thinking.

This prose translation of the medieval French verse narrative Ami and Amile recounts the legendary friendship of two valiant knights who are as indistinguishable as twin brothers.

This wide-ranging and provocative study focuses on the importance of the mother in the genealogical and social frameworks of the Old French and Occitan chanson de geste.

The study draws upon medieval theological and scientific doctrine and modern psychoanalytic and feminist theory, especially the... This wide-ranging and provocative study focuses on the importance of the mother in the genealogical and social frameworks of the Old French and Occita...

The Beast at Heaven's Gate: Georges Bataille and the Art of Transgression
ISBN: 9789042020139 / Angielski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The essays in this collection were originally given at the international colloquium Cent Ans de Bataille: La Bataille de Cent Ans held at the Fondacio Tapies in Barcelona in September 1998. They are written from a variety of perspectives but are drawn together by the singular aim of addressing and interrogating Georges Bataille as our contemporary whose fascination with the rupture between mythical and experimental forms of discourse defines our own age as much as it did in Bataille's own time. More precisely, the essays in this collection range over Bataille's status as a novelist, a poet,...

Mallarmé's Ideas in Language
ISBN: 9783039101627 / Angielski / Miękka / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mallarme s impact has been too great to remain within the confines of French-language culture, or indeed literary studies. While much of the first century of Mallarme s posthumous glory has been spent looking at his ideas on language as a key to his difficult uvre, something far more fundamental to his originality has been brushed over: his ideas in language. Contained within that shift of preposition is Mallarme s unique way of handling concepts. This book is about the sheer improbability of Mallarme s joint concern with concepts, or ideas, on the one hand, and with...

Guillaume de Machaut: The Capture of Alexandria

His forces, however, were unable to retain control, and Peter was left with a...
