Download or read book Medieval Women and War written by Sophie Harwood and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-07-23 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, Sophie Harwood uses the Old French tradition as a lens through which to examine women and warfare from the 12th to the 14th centuries. The result is a skilled analysis of gender roles in the medieval era, and a heightened awareness of how important literary texts are to our understanding of the historical period in which they circulated. Medieval Women and War examines both the text and illustrations of over 30 Old French manuscripts to highlight the ways in many of the texts differ from their traditionally assumed (usually classical) sources. Structured around five pivotal female types – women cited as causes for violence, women as victims of violence, women as ancillaries to warriors, women as warriors themselves, and women as political influences – this important book unpicks gendered boundaries to shed new light on the social, political and military structures of warfare as well as adding nuance to current debates on womanhood in the middle ages.

Download or read book Chr tien de Troyes written by Douglas Kelly and published by Tamesis Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The supplement to the 1976 original bibliography reflects the expanding scope of modern Chrétien studies, including items from around the world, with the assistance of an international team of scholars. The Supplement builds on and completes the Chrétien de Troyes Bibliography first published in 1976. Together the two volumes constitute the fullest and most complete bibliographical source now available on this major medieval author. Chrétien de Troyes bequeathed a corpus of highly original and widely influential Arthurian romances. Indeed, his direct or indirect influence continued throughout the middle ages and beyond into modern times. The Bibliographypermits students of medieval romance to quickly identify the areas in which Chrétien scholarship has been active. Items are listed under twenty-two topics, with numerous sub-sections under each topic, and cross-references for items that treat more than one of the topics. The broad geographic and linguistic scope of modern Chrétien studies is evident in items not only from western Europe and North America, but also from the growing body of medieval scholarship in eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, and Australasia. To ensure accuracy and completeness, the editor has been assisted by scholars competent in the many languages in which Chrétien studies are now published, most notably in Japanese, Welsh, Rumanian, Hungarian and Polish, as well as by other scholars and librarians who generously provided assistance and information in finding items difficult to access.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Comment l'antiquité était-elle perçue et interprétée dans le royaume de France et dans les États bourguignons aux derniers siècles du Moyen Âge ? Dans quelle mesure ce regard et les usages qu'il pouvait dicter intellectuels, moraux, politiques se sont-ils modifiés entre les années 1350, période des premières traductions françaises de textes classiques à l'instigation du roi Jean le Bon, et la décennie 1520, traditionnellement considérée comme le début de la Renaissance en France avec le retour de captivité de François I" après la défaite de Pavie et le coup d'envoi du chantier de Fontainebleau ? C'est autour de ces questions, centrées par souci de cohérence sur la production livresque, manuscrite et imprimée, que s'articulent les dix-huit contributions du présent volume. Elles révèlent les enjeux littéraires (traductions, réécritures et humanisme), artistiques (essor du style à l'antique, art de la perspective) et, surtout, idéologiques (moralisation des mythes, condamnation de la tyrannie, éloge de la femme, émergence d'un sentiment national) que revêtent l'histoire et la mythologie antiques au tournant du Moyen Âge et de la Renaissance."--P.

Download or read book The Myth of Hero and Leander written by Silvia Montiglio and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hero and Leander are the protagonists in a classical tale of epic but tragic love. Hero lives secluded in a tower on the European shore of the Hellespont, and Leander on the opposite side of the passage. Since they cannot hope to marry, the couple resolves to meet in secret: each night he swims across to her, guided by the light of her torch. But the time comes when a winter storm kills both the light and Leander. At dawn, Hero sees her lover's mangled body washed ashore, and so hurls herself from the tower to meet him in death. Silvia Montiglio here shows how and why this affecting story has proved to be one of the most popular and perennial mythologies in the history of the West. Discussing its singular drama, danger, pathos and eroticism, the author explores the origin of the legend and its rich and varied afterlives. She shows how it was used by Greek and Latin writers; how it developed in the Middle Ages - notably in the writings of Christine de Pizan - and Renaissance; how it inspired Byron to swim the Dardanelles; and how it has lived on in representations by artists including Rubens and Frederic Leighton.
Download or read book A History of Old English Literature written by Robert D. Fulk and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-06 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A HISTORY OF OLD ENGLISH LITERATURE A History of Old English Literature has been significantly revised to provide an unequivocal response to the renewed historicism in medieval studies. Focusing on the production and reception of Old English texts and on their relation to Anglo-Saxon history and culture, this new edition covers an exceptionally broad array of genres. These range from riddles and cryptograms to allegory, liturgical texts, and romance, as well as lyric poetry and heroic legend. The authors also integrate discussions of Anglo-Latin texts, crucial to understanding the development of Old English literature. This second edition incorporates extensive reference to scholarship that has evolved over the past decade, with new chapters on both Anglo-Saxon manuscripts and on incidental and marginal texts. There is expanded treatment throughout, including increased coverage of legal texts and scientific and scholastic texts. The book concludes with a retrospective outline of the reception of Anglo-Saxon literature and culture in subsequent periods.
Download or read book De l Antiquit au Moyen ge written by Jean Durliat and published by . This book was released on 2014-09-16 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De même que le Moyen Age n'a pas sombré dans le néant avant la Renaissance, on sait aujourd'hui que l'Antiquité ne fut pas anéantie par l'installation de peuples germaniques à l'intérieur de l'Empire romain. Cette longue transition entre la mutation de l'Empire romain due à la reconnaissance du christianisme par l'empereur Constantin en 313 et l'affirmation d'une identité occidentale symbolisée par le couronnement de Charlemagne en 800 fait l'objet de ce petit ouvrage. Il décrit les aspects politiques, religieux, économiques ou sociaux de la lente acculturation entre les "barbares" admirateurs de Rome et les Romains. Charlemagne rassembla les peuples d'Occident et leurs expériences, affirmant, par son sacre, que cette nouvelle société méritait la gloire et la considération dont se prévalait l'empereur de Constantinople.

Download or read book His Words Were Nourishment and His Counsel Food written by Efrosini Camatsos and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-02 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “His Words were Nourishment and his Counsel Food”: A Festschrift for David W. Holton brings together essays on Greek literature from medieval romances to postmodern fiction. It provides an illuminating first insight into the variety of Modern Greek literature for the general reader, while also catering to more specialised students and scholars with new research findings and close studies of individual texts. The editors and authors, all former doctoral students of Professor Holton at Cambridge, conceived this volume as a thanksgiving present to him on the occasion of his retirement and as a collection which reflects the high quality and significance of Modern Greek studies at the University of Cambridge. The essays explore themes ranging from the erotic gaze and nightingales to cannibalism and dictatorships. Individual contributions discuss the relationship of Greek works with French and Persian medieval romances, the Italian Renaissance and German expressionism, and the influence of Shakespeare on the best-known Modern Greek poet, C. P. Cavafy. Others explore the interrelation of architecture and literature in the Cretan Renaissance masterpiece Erotokritos, the influence of religious texts on Roidis’s Pope Joan, and the assimilation of Byzantium into Greek historiography by intellectuals of Greek Romanticism. On a more personal level, the reader will learn about the experiences of a British Victorian woman translator in 1880s Athens, and the friendship between George Seferis and Sir Steven Runciman. Cretan cities figure in three essays which investigate the literary and historical context of the long Ottoman siege of Chandax in the seventeenth century and issues of identity in the modern-day lives of Chania’s Greek and Turkish inhabitants. Shifting notions of identity are further explored in the contemporary Greek novels of an Albanian immigrant author. His Words were Nourishment demonstrates the remarkable capacity of Greek literature to thrive within the context of cultural exchange and shifting historical boundaries.
Download or read book La Fin du monde antique et le d but du Moyen ge written by Ferdinand Lot and published by Albin Michel. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Fin du monde antique et le début du Moyen Age fut un succès lors de sa parution en 1927. On avait traité jusqu'alors soit de l'empire romain, soit du Moyen Age en scindant les deux époques à la mort de Théodose. Pionnier du concept d'Antiquité tardive, Ferdinand Lot est le premier à consacrer un travail d'ensemble à l'histoire romaine entre le IIIe et le Ve siècle et à affirmer que "le Moyen Age ne peut se comprendre si l'on ne remonte pas au Bas Empire". Se dégageant du carcan de l'histoire événementielle, il met l'accent sur l'analyse économique et sociale. En ce domaine aussi, Ferdinand Lot innove, deux ans avant la fondation des Annales, la revue de Marc Bloch et Lucien Febvre. Mais il n'oublie pas la leçon de Fustel de Coulanges : "L'histoire n'étudie pas seulement les faits matériels et les institutions : son véritable objet d'études est l'âme humaine." Si les apports de l'archéologie ces dernières décennies ont bien changé nos connaissances des temps barbares, Ferdinand Lot reste d'actualité lorsqu'il écrit : "II est impossible de comprendre quoi que ce soit à l'histoire contemporaine si on ne sait rien de la dislocation du monde ancien, rien du nouveau peuplement de l'Europe du IVe au Xe siècle..." Une bonne raison de se féliciter de la réédition de ce classique que maîtres et étudiants ont lu et relu.
Download or read book Lumi re du Moyen Age written by Régine Pernoud and published by Grasset. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le Moyen Age, ère de ténèbres : telle est l'image que nous avons tous gardée de nos études secondaires. Les bâtisseurs de cathédrales ont été longtemps présentés comme des barbares et les auditeurs de saint Thomas d'Aquin comme des naïfs. C'est contre ces jugements préfabriqués que se dresse Régine Pernoud. Elle révèle le Moyen Age dans sa "lumière". Elle nous fait connaître sa richesse littéraire et son essor artistique, mais aussi ce qu'on connaît le moins : l'intérêt porté alors aux sciences et à la médecine. La vie quotidienne même portait la marque d'une civilisation déjà raffinée : l'hygiène - l'usage des "retraits", des bains publics et privés - était plus développée qu'au XVIIe siècle. La hiérarchie sociale reposait essentiellement sur des liens familiaux et il était beaucoup plus facile d'approcher Saint Louis que Louis XIV. Si les hommes avaient généralement l'autorité dans la famille, les femmes avaient des droits qu'elles n'avaient pas dans la société romaine et qu'elles ont reperdus dès le XVIe siècle. {Lumière du Moyen Age}, une découverte fabuleuse d'un temps mal connu où se mêlent le profane et le sacré, où se développent le commerce, les sciences et les arts : les XIIe et XIIIe siècles sont sans doute les vrais "Grands Siècles" de notre histoire.
