Download or read book Spenser s Narrative Figuration of Women in The Faerie Queene written by Judith H Anderson and published by Medieval Institute Publications. This book was released on 2018-03-31 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concentrating on major figures of women in The Faerie Queene, together with the figures constellated around them, Anderson's Narrative Figuration explores the contribution of Spenser's epic romance to an appreciation of women's plights and possibilities in the age of Elizabeth. Taken together, their stories have a meaningful tale to tell about the function of narrative, which proves central to figuration in the still moving, metamorphic poem that Spenser created.
Download or read book What Kind of a Thing Is a Middle English Lyric written by Cristina Maria Cervone and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2022-08-30 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Kind of a Thing Is a Middle English Lyric? considers issues pertaining to a corpus of several hundred short poems written in Middle English between the twelfth and early fifteenth centuries. The chapters draw on perspectives from varied disciplines, including literary criticism, musicology, art history, and cognitive science. Since the early 1900s, the poems have been categorized as “lyrics,” the term now used for most kinds of short poetry, yet neither the difficulties nor the promise of this treatment have received enough attention. In one way, the book argues, considering these poems to be lyrics obscures much of what is interesting about them. Since the nineteenth century, lyrics have been thought of as subjective and best read without reference to cultural context, yet nonetheless they are taken to form a distinct literary tradition. Since Middle English short poems are often communal and usually spoken, sung, and/or danced, this lyric template is not a good fit. In another way, however, the very differences between these poems and the later ones on which current debates about the lyric still focus suggest they have much to offer those debates, and vice versa. As its title suggests, this book thus goes back to the basics, asking fundamental questions about what these poems are, how they function formally and culturally, how they are (and are not) related to other bodies of short poetry, and how they might illuminate and be illuminated by contemporary lyric scholarship. Eleven chapters by medievalists and two responses by modernists, all in careful conversation with one another, reflect on these questions and suggest very different answers. The editors’ introduction synthesizes these answers by suggesting that these poems can most usefully be read as a kind of “play,” in several senses of that word. The book ends with eight “new Middle English lyrics” by seven contemporary poets.
Download or read book The Face of Queenship written by A. Riehl and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-05-10 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Face of Queenship investigates the aesthetic, political, and gender-related meanings in representations of Elizabeth I by her contemporaries. By attending to eyewitness reports, poetry, portraiture, and discourses on beauty and cosmetics, this book shows how the portrayals of the queen s face register her contemporaries hopes, fears, hatreds, mockeries, rivalries, and awe. In its application of theories of the meaning of the face and its exploration of the early modern representation and interpretation of faces, this study argues that the face was seen as a rhetorical tool and that Elizabeth was a master of using her face to persuade, threaten, or comfort her subjects.
Download or read book The Faerie Queene written by Edmund Spenser and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2003-11-27 with total page 1248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Faerie Queene was the first epic in English and one of the most influential poems in the language for later poets from Milton to Tennyson. Dedicating his work to Elizabeth I, Spenser brilliantly united medieval romance and renaissance epic to expound the glory of the Virgin Queen. The poem recounts the quests of knights including Sir Guyon, Knight of Constance, who resists temptation, and Artegall, Knight of Justice, whose story alludes to the execution of Mary Queen of Scots. Composed as an overt moral and political allegory, The Faerie Queene, with its dramatic episodes of chivalry, pageantry and courtly love, is also a supreme work of atmosphere, colour and sensuous description.

Download or read book Poetic License written by Jacqueline T. Miller and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1986 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the sometimes complementary, sometimes conflicting concepts of literary authority and authorship, and the forces that work either to merge or separate them in several medieval and Renaissance contexts. Arguing that the idea of authorial authority is a central artistic concern in these periods, Poetic License explores the various practical techniques and theoretical considerations by which writers mediate between the related demands of creative autonomy and those of authoritative sanction, examining the formative influence of the tensions that result. Miller's study proceeds from a dual perspective, focusing both on individual writers and on the poetic forms popular in these periods. In particular, she examines the problem of authority in the medieval dream-vision, in allegory, and in the Renaissance sonnet cycle and the related concept of imitation, taking as major examples Chaucer's House of Fame, Spenser's Faerie Queene, and the sonnet sequences of Sidney and Spenser.

Download or read book Spenser and Literary Pictorialism written by John B. Bender and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing, framing, scanning—the language of film—and Gombrich's studies in the psychology of perception are used by John Bender to isolate pictorial effects and devices in literature. The theory that he proposes, grounded in his analysis of Spenser, "the painter of poets," discriminates between the descriptive and the pictorial in poetry. Originally published in 1972.
