Описание:

The Seven Knights of Lara: Text, Context, and Translation is the first English translation of the medieval Spanish legend Siete infantes de Lara, which has enthralled audiences for centuries. The plot hinges upon a bitter family dispute rooted in honor and injured pride that drives the powerful Castilian lord, Ruy Vel zquez, to betray and murder his nephews, the seven knights from the region of Lara. Years later, when their half-brother Mudarra learns the truth of his origins and of the treasonous death that befell Castile's seven sons, he travels from C rdoba where he has been raised by the powerful Moorish ruler, Almanzor, and restores his family's honor by avenging his brothers' murder.

The earliest known testimony of the legend is preserved in the Estoria de Espa a, the chronicle commissioned by King Alfonso X in the 1270s to provide an account of the various nations and dynasties that had previously ruled the Iberian Peninsula. Less than a century later, a longer and more developed rendition of the story was included in the Cr nica de 1344, a Spanish translation of Count Pedro of Barcelos' Portuguese Cr nica geral de Espanha. These two versions of the story, which are presented both in Old Spanish as well as in an annotated English translation, are the ones most often studied by students and scholars alike since they are the oldest, and probably the most faithful, testimonies of what many scholars believe was once an epic poem (or poems).

Given its multidisciplinary breadth, this edition would be a welcomed addition to university-level classes dedicated to medieval literature, history, law, art, and culture. On the one hand, the Seven Knights of Lara is a cornerstone of the Castilian epic tradition; on the other, it is a prime example of the intimate and complex relationship that exists between epic legends and medieval chronicles. In Mahoney's introductory study, he provides a comprehensive overview of matters that Hispano-medievalists studying the epic genre are still attempting to resolve--for example, the origin of the legend, its date of composition, and its possible historicity--along with a synthesis of the most relevant scholarship pertaining to the texts. While rich in academic rigor, it is nevertheless accessible to readers from different disciplinary backgrounds, and it provides a clear, solid understanding of the Seven Knights of Lara as well as its literary, historical, legal, and cultural milieu.

Translated by Peter J. Mahoney for Juan de la Cuesta Hispanic Monograph's critical translation series (#10).

Описание: As Food Studies has grown into a well-established field, literary scholars have not fully addressed the prevalent themes of food, eating, and consumption in Chicana/o literature. Here, contributors propose food consciousness as a paradigm to examine the literary discourses of Chicana/o authors as they shift from the nation to the postnation.

Описание: First published in 1992, this wide-ranging collection of essays focuses on the principle of contextualisation as it applies to the interpretation, description, theorising and reading of literary and non-literary texts. The collection aims to reveal the interdependencies between theory, analysis, text and context by challenging the myth that stylistics entails a fundamental separation of text from context, linguistic description from descriptive interpretation, or language from situation. The essays cover a historically diverse set of texts, from Puttenham to Colemanballs, and a number of language-sensitive topics such as post-modernism, irony, newspaper representations, gender and narrative.

Описание: This monograph examines truth in fiction from the point of view of a naturalized logic. What would it take to write a book about fiction that was as true to the facts of lived literary experience as objectivity allows? The overall answer is that the logic of fiction needs a new way.

Описание: In 1903, W. E. B. Du Bois wrote about the Talented Tenth in an influential essay of the same name. The concept exalted college-educated Blacks who Du Bois believed could provide the race with the guidance it needed to surmount slavery, segregation, and oppression in America. Although Du Bois eventually reassessed this idea, the rhetoric of the Talented Tenth resonated, still holding sway over a hundred years later.

In Rethinking Racial Uplift: Rhetorics of Black Unity and Disunity in the Obama Era, author Nigel I. Malcolm asserts that in the post-civil rights era, racial uplift has been redefined not as Black public intellectuals lifting the masses but as individuals securing advantage for themselves and their children. Malcolm examines six best-selling books published during Obama’s presidency—including Randall Kennedy’s Sellout, Bill Cosby’s and Alvin Poussaint’s Come on People, and Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Between the World and Me—and critically analyzes their rhetorics on Black unity, disunity, and the so-called "postracial" era. Based on these writings and the work of political and social scientists, Malcolm shows that a large, often-ignored, percentage of Blacks no longer see their fate as connected with that of other African Americans.

While many Black intellectuals and activists seek to provide a justification for Black solidarity, not all agree. In Rethinking Racial Uplift, Malcolm takes contemporary Black public intellectual discourse seriously and shows that disunity among Blacks, a previously ignored topic, is worth exploring.

Описание: Of all the great Western novelists of the twentieth century, the German writer Hermann Hesse is arguably one of the most important for educationists. Paying particular attention to Hesse’s last novel, The Glass Bead Game, and its immediate predecessor, The Journey to the East, this book suggests that Hesse was a man of the West who turned to the idea of ‘the East’ in seeking to understand himself and his society. From these later texts a rich, complex theory of educational transformation emerges. From West to East and Back Again examines the role of dialogue and uncertainty in the transformative process, considers utopian and ritualistic elements in Hesse’s work, and explores the notion of education serving as a bridge between life and death. Hesse’s novels address philosophical themes and questions of enduring significance, and this book will appeal to all who share an interest in human striving and growth.
