Download or read book The Liminality of Fairies written by Piotr Spyra and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-13 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the fairies of medieval romance as liminal beings, this book draws on anthropological and philosophical studies of liminality to combine folkloristic insights into the nature of fairies with close readings of selected romance texts. Tracing different meanings and manifestations of liminality in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Sir Orfeo, Sir Launfal, Thomas of Erceldoune and Robert Henryson’s Orpheus and Eurydice, the volume offers a comprehensive theory of liminality rooted in structuralist anthropology and poststructuralist theory. Arguing that romance fairies both embody and represent the liminal, The Liminality of Fairies posits and answers fundamental theoretical questions about the limits of representation and the relationship between romance hermeneutics and criticism. The interdisciplinary nature of the argument will appeal not just to medievalists and literary critics but also to anthropologists, folklorists as well as scholars working within the fields of cultural history and contemporary literary theory.

Book excerpt: Many of the fairies and spirits mentioned within this book come from regions where information on the fairies isn’t readily available in English elsewhere. A few of these include; Mari-El – In the heart of an ancient forest which was so vast and isolated it allowed the people within to remain the last pagans in Europe. For the people of this land never converted to Islam or Christianity, and so to this day they still value the spirits of the forest. Their woodlands are filled with a dizzying array of spirits, from bathhouse spirits that appear as shooting stars to spirits which always run and move backwards. Brittany – One of the last remaining Celtic kingdoms, where many traditional Celtic ideas survived. Yet despite how popular Celtic beliefs are there isn’t a lot of information or stories on these fairies available in English. Northern Italy and Austria – Wedged high in the mountains the tiny villages that dot this land were often the slowest to change, retaining ideas about the spirit world from a past long forgotten to most of us. Not so long ago there were still some people who would answer the shamans call, sending their soul out at night to join the kindly spirits in a battle against the darkness. Other people's will include, the Komi, Irish, English, Scottish, Welsh, German, the Scandinavian Countries, the Selkup, the Yakut, and many many more.
