Описание: The renowned and illustrious tales of King Arthur, his knights and the Round Table pervade all European vernaculars, as well as the Latin tradition. Arthurian narrative material, which had originally been transmitted in oral culture, began to be inscribed regularly in the twelfth century, developing from (pseudo-)historical beginnings in the Latin chronicles of "historians" such as Geoffrey of Monmouth into masterful literary works like the romances of Chr tien de Troyes. Evidently a big hit, Arthur found himself being swiftly translated, adapted and integrated into the literary traditions of almost every European vernacular during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. This Handbook seeks to showcase the European character of Arthurian romance both past and present.By working across national philological boundaries, which in the past have tended to segregate the study of Arthurian romance according to language, as well as by exploring primary texts from different vernaculars and the Latin tradition in conjunction with recent theoretical concepts and approaches, this Handbook brings together a pioneering and more complete view of the specifically European context of Arthurian romance, and promotes the more connected study of Arthurian literature across the entirety of its European context.

Автор: Brian Busby Название: Heart Accepts It All: Selected Letters of John Glassco ISBN: 1550653407 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781550653403 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 28530.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Decades after his death, John Glassco remains Canadas most enigmatic literary figure, and this collection draws back the curtain on this self-described "great practitioner of deceit". Collected here are the few surviving letters from his youthful adventures in France and three previously unpublished poems. Among his correspondents were Maurice Girodias, F R Scott, A J M Smith, Ralph Gustafson, Leon Edel and Margaret Atwood. The delight he took in revealing his many literary hoaxes to friends, and the scorn he had for literary fashion is apparent. The letters reflect his convictions about literature, other writers, and his own talent, while documenting struggles with publishers, pirates, and censors. Born into one of Montreals wealthiest families, Glassco turned his back on privilege for a life in letters; yet at age 18 -- having been published in Paris -- his voice suddenly went silent. His unexpected return to the literary scene in 1957 coincided with the great flowering of Canadian literature. In the years that followed, he produced a unique body of work that encompasses poetry, memoir, translation, and several best-selling books of pornography.

Families in market economies have long been confronted by the demands of participating in paid work and providing care. Across Europe the social, economic and political environment within which families do so has been subject to substantial change in the post-World War II era and governments have come under increasing pressure to engage with this important area of public policy. In the UK, as elsewhere, the tensions which lie at the heart of the paid work/unpaid care conflict remain unresolved posing substantial difficulties for all of law's subjects both as carers and as the recipients of care. What seems like a relatively simple goal - to enable families to better balance care-giving and paid employment - has been subject to and shaped by shifting priorities over time leading to a variety of often conflicting policy approaches. This book critiques how working families in the UK have been subject to regulation. It aims to: - Chart the development of the UK's law and policy framework by focusing on the post-war era and the growth and decline of the welfare state with a longer historical trajectory considered where appropriate.
- Suggest an alternative policy approach based on Martha Fineman's vulnerability theory in which the vulnerable subject replaces the liberal subject as the focus of legal intervention. This reorientation enables a more inclusive and cohesive policy approach and has great potential to contribute to the reconciliation of the unresolved conflict between paid work and care-giving.

Автор: Paul Moon Название: The Rise and Fall of James Busby: His Majesty`s British Resident in New Zealand ISBN: 1350116653 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781350116658 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 25330.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: One of the British Empire’s most troubling colonial exports in the 19th-century, James Busby is known as the father of the Australian wine industry, the author of New Zealand’s Declaration of Independence and a central figure in the early history of independent New Zealand as its British Resident from 1833 to 1840.Officially the man on the ground for the British government in the volatile society of New Zealand in the 1830s, Busby endeavoured to create his own parliament and act independently of his superiors in London. This put him on a collision course with the British Government, and ultimately destroyed his career. With a reputation as an inept, conceited and increasingly embittered person, this caricature of Busby’s character has slipped into the historical bloodstream where it remains to the present day. This book draws on an extensive range of previously-unused archival records to reconstruct Busby’s life in much more intimate form, and exposes the back-room plotting that ultimately destroyed his plans for New Zealand. It will alter the way that Britain’s colonisation of New Zealand is understood, and will leave readers with an appreciation of how individuals, more than policies, shaped the Empire and its rule.
