Download or read book The Medieval Chronicle III written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 2002 the third international conference on the medieval chronicle was held, again in the vicinity of Utrecht, the Netherlands. There are several reasons why the chronicle is particularly suited as the topic of an international conference. In the first place there is its ubiquity: all over Europe and throughout the Middle Ages chronicles were written, both in Latin and in the vernacular, and not only in Europe but also in the countries neighbouring on it, like those of the Arabic world. Secondly, all chronicles raise such questions as by whom, for whom, or for what purpose were they written, how do they reconstruct the past, what determined the choice of verse or prose, or what kind of literary influences are discernable in them. Finally, many chronicles have been beautifully illuminated, and the relation between text and image leads to a wholly different set of questions. This third volume of conference papers again aims to provide a representative survey of the on-going research in the field of chronicle studies, illustrated by examples from specific chronicles from a wide variety of countries, periods and cultural backgrounds.
Download or read book The Medieval French Alexander written by Donald Maddox and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander the Great was one of the legendary Nine Worthies in the medieval canon of ancient and modern heroes, and medieval writers exploited his legend in a wide variety of literary and didactic texts. Addressing the classical legacy to the Middle Ages as expressed in four centuries of vernacular narratives, this volume offers the first systematic collective study of Alexander the Great's thematic prominence in medieval culture. Contributors from Britain, France, the Netherlands, and the United States combine sensitive textual analyses with perspectives from such diverse fields as art history, codicology, anthropology, sociology, the history of mentalities, and postcolonial theory. Overall, the collection offers a provocative rethinking of the monumental medieval French tradition of Alexander the Great, as well as valuable insight into the emergence and transformations of French literature between the early twelfth century and the end of the Middle Ages.

Download or read book Reconstructing the Middle Ages written by Carolina Armenteros and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-27 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reconstructing the Middle Ages looks at nineteenth-century medievalism in France using as a case study Gaston Paris, philologist, literary critic and professor of medieval studies. Gaston Paris's method, traditionally seen as a combination of romanticism and positivism, exemplifies several elements of nineteenth-century medievalism in the Parisian academia in late nineteenth-century France. The text investigates Gaston Paris's theories about three medieval literary genres (epic, fabliaux, and Arthurian tales) to understand how Paris's view of medieval literature and history cross-related with nationalism at a time when France was particularly vulnerable, and at which French academics were especially eager to make a long-lasting contribution. Examining the work of Gaston Paris and his interaction with other scholars in the Parisian milieu, Reconstructing the Middle Ages offers a look at academic medievalism and the history philology, linguistics and literary and textual criticism in late nineteenth-century France. In particular, the book shows that when it comes to the self-image of France, medievalism was a topic that reached far beyond the walls of academia as it was related to national pride, memory and identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking collection of essays by a host of international authorities addresses the many aspects of the Danse Macabre, a subject that has been too often overlooked in Anglo-American scholarship. The Danse was once a major motif that occurred in many different media and spread across Europe in the course of the fifteenth century, from France to England, Germany, Scandinavia, Poland, Spain, Italy and Istria. Yet the Danse is hard to define because it mixes metaphors, such as dance, di ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Légendes du Moyen Âge" par J. Collin de Plancy est une vaste compilation des récits et histoires légendaires qui ont marqué la période médiévale. Cet ouvrage explore les nombreuses légendes, mythes et contes qui ont émergé durant le Moyen Âge, une époque souvent perçue comme un âge de chevalerie, de mystère et de magie. Collin de Plancy, connu pour son intérêt pour les traditions populaires et les récits légendaires, rassemble dans ce volume une variété d'histoires captivantes issues de diverses cultures européennes. Ces récits, bien que souvent enracinés dans des événements historiques, sont embellis par le folklore et l'imaginaire populaire, créant une riche tapisserie de mythes et de légendes. Le livre est organisé de manière thématique, permettant aux lecteurs de découvrir des légendes sur différents aspects du Moyen Âge, tels que la chevalerie, les batailles épiques, les royaumes enchantés, et les figures mythiques. Collin de Plancy présente des histoires de chevaliers héroïques, de rois et reines légendaires, de créatures fantastiques, et de quêtes extraordinaires. Parmi les légendes abordées, on trouve des récits célèbres tels que ceux de la Table Ronde et du roi Arthur, les aventures de Charlemagne et de ses paladins, les exploits de héros comme Roland et les histoires mystérieuses de la quête du Saint Graal. Ces légendes sont présentées avec une attention particulière aux détails et aux contextes culturels qui les ont vues naître. Collin de Plancy ne se contente pas de narrer ces histoires ; il les analyse également, offrant des explications sur leurs origines et leur signification. Il explore comment ces légendes ont évolué au fil du temps, influençant et étant influencées par les croyances et les valeurs de la société médiévale. L'auteur examine aussi la manière dont ces récits ont été transmis à travers les générations, via la littérature, l'art, et les traditions orales. En rassemblant ces légendes, Collin de Plancy offre une fenêtre fascinante sur l'imaginaire médiéval, révélant comment les gens de l'époque percevaient le monde et leur place dans celui-ci. "Légendes du Moyen Âge" est ainsi une ressource précieuse pour les historiens, les amateurs de folklore, et tous ceux qui s'intéressent aux récits épiques et aux mythes qui ont façonné l'Europe médiévale. En somme, "Légendes du Moyen Âge" par J. Collin de Plancy est un ouvrage riche et captivant qui plonge les lecteurs dans l'univers enchanteur et mystérieux des récits médiévaux. Grâce à la rigueur et à la passion de Collin de Plancy, ces légendes continuent de vivre et d'inspirer, offrant une exploration profonde et nuancée de l'une des périodes les plus fascinantes de l'histoire.
Download or read book The Old French Lays of Ignaure Oiselet and Amours written by Glyn Sheridan Burgess and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2010 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New editions, with translations and introductions. The three narrative lays presented here form a sequel to the authors' French Arthurian Literature IV: Eleven Old French Narrative Lays, published in 2007. No new edition of Ignaure has appeared since 1938 and in the meantime this poem has generated a considerable amount of critical comment, especially as it provides the first full-length example in medieval European literature of the theme of the "Eaten Heart". Oiselet recounts abird's use of three truths as a means of escaping from the clutches of an uncultivated vilain. In the extant manuscripts these truths occur in two different orders, both of which are provided in the present edition. Amours, which follows the progress of a love affair between a nobleman and his beloved, has not been edited since 1878. All three poems challenge our understanding of the term "lay", especially if we regard the lays of Marie de France as defining the principal features of this genre. GLYN S. BURGESS is Emeritus Professor of French at the University of Liverpool; LESLIE C. BROOK is Honorary Senior Research Fellow in French at the University of Birmingham.

ANGLIA In 1981 the first Arthurian Bibliography appeared, an exhaustive alphabetical author-listing of all critical material recorded in the standard Arthurian bibliographies up to 1978. This was followed in 1983 by the second volume, giving full indexes by topic, key-word and individual work/author to form a complete subject-index of every topic in Arthurian literature. Summaries and reviews were also indicated where they existed. Arthurian Bibliography III updates this invaluable reference work for Arthurian scholars to 1992. Compiled from the BBSIA, it conveniently contains both author-listing and subject-index in one volume.
