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....

The Complete Story of the Grail: Chrétien de Troyes' Perceval and Its Continuations
ISBN: 9781843844006 / Angielski / Twarda / 634 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The mysterious and haunting Grail makes its first appearance in literature in Chretien de Troyes' Perceval at the end of the twelfth century. But Chretien never finished his poem, leaving an unresolved story and an incomplete picture of the Grail. It was, however, far too attractive an idea to leave. Not only did it inspire quite separate works; his own unfinished poem was continued and finally completed by no fewer than four other writers. The Complete Story of the Grail is the first ever translation of the whole of the rich and compelling body of tales contained in Chretien's poem and its...

ISBN: 9781409445197 / Angielski / Twarda / 442 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The First Crusade was arguably one of the most significant events of the Middle Ages.

Debating the Roman de la Rose: A Critical Anthology
ISBN: 9780415967655 / Angielski / Twarda / 484 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Around the year 1400, the poet Christine de Pizan initiated a public debate in France over the literary "truth" and merit of the Roman of the Rose, perhaps the most renowned work of the French Middle Ages. She argued against what she considered to be misrepresentations of female virtue and vice in the Rose. Her bold objections aroused the support and opposition of some of the period's most famous intellectuals, notable Jean Gerson, whose sermons on the subject are important literary documents. "The Quarrel of the Rose" is the name given by modern scholars to the collection of these and...

Virgil and the Myth of Venice : Books and Readers in the Italian Renaissance
ISBN: 9780198152545 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book, which is the first comprehensive study of its subject, shows that the Roman poet Virgil played an unexpectedly significant role in the shaping of Renaissance Venetian culture. Drawing on reception theory and the sociology of literature, it argues that Virgil's poetry became a best-seller because it sometimes challenged, but more often confirmed, the specific moral, religious, and social values of the Venetian readers.

Imitatio im George-Kreis
ISBN: 9783110254464 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 411 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Stefan George und sein Kreis erfahren seit geraumer Zeit starke Aufmerksamkeit. Interesse wird meist den Personen, ihren Werdegangen, ihren politischen Uberzeugungen und sexuellen Praferenzen entgegengebracht. Was aber hat das mit der Produktion von Lyrik im George-Kreis zu tun? Die Autorin zeigt, dass beide Aspekte durch ein umfassendes Konzept von Nachahmung verbunden sind. In Georges Lyrik und Poetik identifiziert sie eine Nachahmungstheorie, die sowohl den sozialen Interaktionsformen des Kreises als auch seinen Gedichten zugrunde liegt. Uber die stilistische Nachahmung beim Verfassen... Stefan George und sein Kreis erfahren seit geraumer Zeit starke Aufmerksamkeit.

Love and Death in Medieval French and Occitan Courtly Literature: Martyrs to Love
ISBN: 9780199272075 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Some of medieval culture's most arresting images and stories inextricably associate love and death. Thus the troubadour Jaufre Rudel dies in the arms of the countess of Tripoli, having loved her from afar without ever having seen her. Or in Marie de France's Chevrefoil, Tristan and Iseult's fatal love is hauntingly symbolized by the fatally entwined honeysuckle and hazel. And who could forget the ethereal spectacle of the Damoisele of Escalot's body carried to Camelot on a supernatural funerary boat with a letter on her breast explaining how her unrequited love for Lancelot killed her?...

Magister Amoris: The Roman de la Rose and Vernacular Hermeneutics
ISBN: 9780198187547 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Roman de la Rose was a major bestseller--largely due to its robust treatment of "natural" sexuality. This study concentrates on the ways in which Jean de Meun, in imitation of Ovid, assumed the mock-magisterium (or mastership) of love. Alastair J. Minnis considers allegorical versus literalistic expression in the poem, Jean's provocative use of plain and sometimes obscene language, the challenge of its homosocial and perhaps even homoerotic constructions, and the problematic translation of literary authority from Latin into the vulgar tongue.

ISBN: 9780198159599 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Descriptions of imaginary buildings abound in late medieval and early modern texts in France. This book examines the reasons for their popularity and analyzes the way in which metaphors of the building were used by writers as a tools of persuasion. One such writer was Jean Lemaire (c.1473-after 1515) who used architectural metaphor both to praise his patrons and to advertise his own talents, while drawing on and transforming a tradition of writing popularized by his rhetoriqueur predecessors.
