Book Latin and Vernacular Poets of the Middle Ages

Download or read book Latin and Vernacular Poets of the Middle Ages written by Peter Dronke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1991 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a series of penetrating analyses of particular poems and problems of literary history illustrating the many sides of medieval poetry and the interactions of learned, popular and courtly traditions. The first and longest essay, 'Waltharius-Gaiferos', aims to characterize the diverse treatments of one of the major European heroic themes - in modes that include lay and epic, saga and ballad, and range from pre-Carolingian times to the Renaissance. There follow three interrelated essays on the medieval transformations of Ovid, and a larger group devoted to close reading of medieval lyrics. After discussing some brilliant Latin compositions, of the 9th-12th centuries, both sacred and profane, and the work of two of the most captivating 'goliard' poets, Peter Dronke looks at the earliest formations of love-lyric in two vernaculars, Spanish and English. Finally, he explores the unique symbiosis of Latin and vernacular imagery in two key moments of Dante's Divine Comedy. Ce volume contient une série d'analyses perspicaces de poèmes spécifiques et de certains problèmes de l'histoire littéraire illustrant les multiples facettes de la poésie médiévale et l'interaction des traditions érudites, populaires et courtoises. Le premier essai, "Waltharius-Gaïferos", tente de décrire les divers traitements de l'un des principaux thèmes héroïques européens selon des modes qui incluent: le lai et l'épique, la saga et la ballade et qui s'étendent sur une période allant de l'époque pré-carolingienne à la Renaissance. Suivent trois articles corrélatifs sur les adaptations médiévales des textes d'Ovide, ainsi qu'un groupe d'études voue à la lecture détaillée de la poésie lyrique médiévale. Après avoir considéré l'oeuvre de deux des plus passionnants poètes "goliards" et un certain nombre de remarquables compositions latines, sacrées et profanes, datant du 9e-12e siècles, Peter Dronke se tourne vers les pre

Book Medieval Latin and Middle English Literature

Download or read book Medieval Latin and Middle English Literature written by Jill Mann and published by DS Brewer. This book was released on 2011 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fresh and provocative approaches to the literature of the middle ages, offering close readings of texts from Chaucer to Henryson, and beast fable to devotional works. Jill Mann's writing, teaching, and scholarship have transformed our understanding of two distinct fields, medieval Latin and Middle English literature, as well as their intersection. Essays in this volume seek to honour this achievement by looking at entirely new aspects of these fields (the relationship of song to affect, the political valence of classical allusion, the Latin background of Middle English devotional texts). Others look again at the literary kinds and ideas most important in Mann's own work (beast fable, the nature of allegory, the nature of "nature", the relationship of economic thought and literature, satire, language as a subject for poetry) in the poets she hasbeen most drawn to (Chaucer, Langland, Henryson). All of the essays involve close readings of the most careful kind, taking as their primary method Professor Mann's repeated injunction to attend, above all, to the"words on the page".
