Download or read book Middle and Modern English Corpus Linguistics written by Manfred Markus and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04-11 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together a variety of approaches to English corpus linguistics and shows how corpus methodologies can contribute to the linking of diachronic and synchronic studies. The articles in this volume investigate historical changes in the English language as well as specific aspects of Middle and Modern English and, moreover, of English dialects. The contributions also discuss the development of English corpus linguistics generally and its potential in the future. Special focus is given to the continuity between Middle and Modern English – much in line with the linking in previous studies of Middle English and Old English under the generic term “medievalism”. This volume highlights the continual development of English from the medieval to modern period.

Download or read book Mirror of the World written by Meg Roland and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-28 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late fifteenth century, the production of print editions of Claudius Ptolemy’s second-century Geography sparked one of the most significant intellectual developments of the era—the production of mathematically-based, north-oriented maps. The production of world maps in England, however, was notably absent during this "Ptolemaic revival." As a result, the impact of Ptolemy’s text on English geographical thought has been obscured and minimalized, with scholars speculating a possible English indifference to or isolation from European geographic developments. Tracing English geographical thought through the material culture of literary and popular texts, this study provides evidence for the reception and transmission of Ptolemaic-based geography in England during a critical period of geographic innovation and synthesis, one that laid the foundation for modern geographical representation. With evidence from prose romance, book illustration, theatrical performance, cosmological ceilings, and almanacs, Mirror of the World proposes a new, interdisciplinary literary and cartographic history of the influence of Ptolemaic geography in England, one that reveals the lively integration of geographic concepts through narrative and non-cartographic visual forms.

Download or read book Sleep and its spaces in Middle English literature written by Megan G. Leitch and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Middle English literature is intimately concerned with sleep and the spaces in which it takes place. In the medieval English imagination, sleep is an embodied and culturally determined act. It is both performed and interpreted by characters and contemporaries, subject to a particular habitus and understood through particular hermeneutic lenses. While illuminating the intersecting medical and moral discourses by which it is shaped, sleep also sheds light on subjects in favour of which it has hitherto been overlooked: what sleep can enable (dreams and dream poetry) or what it can stand in for or supersede (desire and sex). This book argues that sleep mediates thematic concerns and questions in ways that have ethical, affective and oneiric implications. At the same time, it offers important contributions to understanding different Middle English genres: romance, dream vision, drama and fabliau.
Download or read book Caxton Mirrour of Fifteenth century Letters written by Nellie Slayton Aurner and published by . This book was released on 1926 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the life, and more importantly, the effect William Caxton had both on the development of printed books in England, and on the literature accepted as 'literature' by the reading public. Caxton printed a wide variety of texts, but his choices seem to reveal two related motives: a persistent effort to make various kinds of books available to an audience unlearned in Latin and an equally steady insistence that what is read be morally profitable.
