Download or read book Chaucer s Conversion written by Heiner Gillmeister and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 1984 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of whether the medieval «secular» poem was capable of receiving a figurative or allegorical interpretation, quite distinct from its surface meaning, is reconsidered by looking afresh at Chaucer's most intriguing short poem, the ballad Truth, which is conceived of as a poème à clef. Identification of the ultimate source of its imagery, 1 Samuel 6, leads to a discussion of how allegorical interpretations assigned to the biblical narrative by the medieval exegete could have affected the poet's life and work. In this issue, an important rôle is played by medieval linguistic theory. As a consequence, a great deal of attention is given to one linguistic discipline, medieval name lore, and an attempt is made to show how, by an allegorical interpretation of his own name, Chaucer was led to «revise» both his life and his literary work.
Download or read book The Natural History of Make Believe written by John Goldthwaite and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1996-02-22 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Man in the Moon has dropped down to earth for a visit. Over the hedge, a rabbit in trousers is having a pipe with his evening paper. Elsewhere, Alice is passing through a looking glass, Dorothy riding a tornado to Oz, and Jack climbing a beanstalk to heaven. To enter the world of children's literature is to journey to a realm where the miraculous and the mundane exist side by side, a world that is at once recognizable and real--and enchanted. Many books have probed the myths and meanings of children's stories, but Goldthwaite's Natural History is the first exclusively to survey the magic that lies at the heart of the literature. From the dish that ran away with the spoon to the antics of Brer Rabbit and Dr. Seuss's Cat in the Hat, Goldthwaite celebrates the craft, the invention, and the inspired silliness that fix these tales in our minds from childhood and leave us in a state of wondering to know how these things can be. Covering the three centuries from the fairy tales of Charles Perrault to Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, he gathers together all the major imaginative works of America, Britain, and Europe to show how the nursery rhyme, the fairy tale, and the beast fable have evolved into modern nonsense verse and fantasy. Throughout, he sheds important new light on such stock characters as the fool and the fairy godmother and on the sources of authors as diverse as Carlo Collodi, Lewis Carroll, and Beatrix Potter. His bold claims will inspire some readers and outrage others. He hails Pinocchio, for example, as the greatest of all children's books, but he views C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia as a parable that is not only murderously misogynistic, but deeply blasphemous as well. Fresh, incisive, and utterly original, this rich literary history will be required reading for anyone who cares about children's books and their enduring influence on how we come to see the world.
