Описание: En 1845, dans Le Foyer breton, recueil de traditions populaires, E. Souvestre publia Peronnik l'idiot, l'estimant apparent au Conte du Graal de Chr tien de Troyes. Mais le caract re composite du r cit armoricain, pourtant banal en litt rature orale, a occult son appartenance un conte type r pertori dont le h ros a la r putation d' tre idiot. La comparaison serr e entre les quatre r cits m di vaux narrant l'aventure initiale de Perceval d montre que ce conte type - d'o vient aussi Peronnik l'idiot - est la source du tout premier noyau du Conte du Graal. En d m lant pour chaque motif du r cit breton l'h rit et l'ajout , l' tude d couvre de surprenants archa smes, transmis par Souvestre son insu, et r habilite recueil et conte, riches d' l ments anciens m connus, rares et pr cieux. L'exposition progressive des indices d tect s et des tapes du raisonnement invite le lecteur partager avec l'auteur le passionnant chemin de la d couverte. Chr tien ma trisait visiblement l'art d'adapter ses sources son projet: l'analyse de ses d tournements cr ateurs claire merveille la naissance de cette oeuvre mythique, nous donnant de nouvelles raisons de l'admirer.

What is it about ancient monsters that popular culture still finds so enthralling? Why do the monsters of antiquity continue to stride across the modern world? In this book, the first in-depth study of how post-classical societies use the creatures from ancient myth, Liz Gloyn reveals the trends behind how we have used monsters since the 1950s to the present day, and considers why they have remained such a powerful presence in our shared cultural imagination. She presents a new model for interpreting the extraordinary vitality that classical monsters have shown, and their enormous adaptability in finding places to dwell in popular culture without sacrificing their connection to the ancient world.
Her argument takes her readers through a comprehensive tour of monsters on film and television, from the much-loved creations of Ray Harryhausen in Clash of the Titans to the monster of the week in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, before looking in detail at the afterlives of the Medusa and the Minotaur. She develops a broad theory of the ancient monster and its life after antiquity, investigating its relation to gender, genre and space to offer a bold and novel exploration of what keeps drawing us back to these mythical beasts. From the siren to the centaur, all monster lovers will find something to enjoy in this stimulating and accessible book.

Автор: Eleanor Parker Название: Dragon Lords: The History and Legends of Viking England ISBN: 1350124990 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781350124998 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 31680.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Why did the Vikings sail to England? Were they indiscriminate raiders, motivated solely by bloodlust and plunder? One narrative, the stereotypical one, might have it so. But locked away in the buried history of the British Isles are other, far richer and more nuanced, stories; and these hidden tales paint a picture very different from the ferocious pillagers of popular repute.In this book, Eleanor Parker unlocks secrets that point to more complex motivations within the marauding army that in the late 9th century voyaged to the shores of eastern England in its sleek, dragon-prowed longships. Exploring legends from forgotten medieval texts, and across the varied Anglo-Saxon regions, she depicts Vikings who came not just to raid but also to settle personal feuds, intervene in English politics and find a place to call home. Native tales reveal the links to famous Vikings like Ragnar Lothbrok and his sons; Cnut; and Havelok the Dane. Each myth shows how the legacy of the newcomers can still be traced in landscape, place-names and local history. Meticulously researched and elegantly argued, Dragon Lords uncovers the remarkable degree to which England is Viking to its core.
Coire Sois, The Cauldron of Knowledge: A Companion to Early Irish Saga offers thirty-one previously published essays by Tom?s ? Cathasaigh, which together constitute a magisterial survey of early Irish narrative literature in the vernacular.
? Cathasaigh has been called “the father of early Irish literary criticism,” with writings among the most influential in the field. He pioneered the analysis of the classic early Irish tales as literary texts, a breakthrough at a time when they were valued mainly as repositories of grammatical forms, historical data, and mythological debris. All four of the Mythological, Ulster, King, and Finn Cycles are represented here in readings of richness, complexity, and sophistication, supported by absolute philological rigor and yet easy for the non-specialist to follow. The book covers key terms, important characters, recurring themes, rhetorical strategies, and the narrative logic of this literature. It also surveys the work of the many others whose explorations were launched by ? Cathasaigh's first encounters with the literature.
As the most authoritative single volume on the essential texts and themes of early Irish saga, this collection will be an indispensable resource for established scholars, and an ideal introduction for newcomers to one of the richest and most under-studied literatures of medieval Europe.
Автор: Donald Maddox, Sara Sturm-Maddox Название: Melusine of Lusignan: Founding Fiction in Late Medieval France ISBN: 0820357103 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780820357102 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 29570.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This volume of original essays is the first collection devoted to the monumental Roman de Melusine (1393) by Jean d'Arras. A masterwork of late fourteenth-century French prose fiction, Melusine tells of the powerful medieval dynasty of Lusignan from its founding as a city by the legendary Melusine, an enigmatic fairy-figure subject to periodic monstrous transformations, through its expansion in Europe and the Near East, to its ultimate evanescence. Melusine offers a singular blend of history and fiction as it upholds the proprietary claims to Lusignan of the work's illustrious patron, Jean, Duc de Berry. The great deeds of Melusine, her forebears, and her progeny unfold in a narrative that blends elements of myth, folklore, and popular traditions with epic, Crusade narrative, romance, and theological doctrine. Advancing a wealth of new material and fresh insight, the essays in this volume address the complex interplay of the conventions of medieval fictional, historical, and genealogical writing from a wide variety of critical perspectives. Together, they offer a new, more balanced and comprehensive understanding of one of the most significant literary works of late medieval European culture.
Автор: Francis Young Название: Edmund: In Search of England`s Lost King ISBN: 1350165255 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781350165250 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 16890.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание:
What buried secret lies beneath the stones of one of England's greatest former churches and shrines, the Benedictine Abbey of Bury St Edmunds? The search for the final resting place of King Edmund has led to this site, beneath which Francis Young argues the lost king's remains are waiting to be found.
Edmund: In Search of England's Lost King explores the history of the martyred monarch of East Anglia and England's first patron saint, showing how he became a pivotal figure around whom Saxons, Danes and Normans all rallied. Young also examines Edmund's legacy in the centuries since his death at the hands of marauding Vikings in the 9th century. In doing so, this fascinating book points to the imminent rediscovery of the ruler who created England.

Описание: Directeur du Centre de Recherches sur l’Imaginaire (Grenoble 3), Philippe Walter a incontestablement su donner une image moderne, ouverte et enrichissante des etudes medievales et des recherches sur l’imaginaire. Le present ouvrage collectif, publie en son honneur, temoigne justement de la richesse des perspectives ouvertes par sa reflexion et ses questionnements : mythologie indo-europeenne (voire eurasiatique) comparee, imaginaire medieval (mythes et litterature), folklore et traditions orales, mythe et ecriture, theorie du mythe (mythocritique et mythanalyse)... Ces 34 articles, rediges par des chercheurs des quatre coins du monde (de l’Europe au Japon en passant par l’Afrique du Sud et le Mexique) , constituent ainsi autant de « voix des mythes » qui s’organisent elles-memes en une « science des civilisations » ou tout a sa place. En bref, ce livre se propose, pour reprendre les mots de Philippe Walter, d’orienter le lecteur « vers une comprehension nouvelle de l’imaginaire humain et vers une observation de l’humanite une et indivisible ».
