Автор: Baswell Christopher, Sharpe William Название: The Passing of Arthur: New Essays in Arthurian Tradition ISBN: 1138989630 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781138989634 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 19390.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание:
Originally published in 1988, this volume contains papers from, and commissioned after, "The Passing of Arthur," a conference on Medieval and Renaissance Studies in November 1986. No Arthurian story is experienced without some foreknowledge of its end, which the text acknowledges through a complex range of methods. This collection takes this as its point of origin, suggesting that all such narratives concern the passing of Arthur, even indirectly, so the chapters not only look at the death of Arthur but the passing on and development of the Arthurian literature. The figure of Arthur and the Round Table continues to fascinate contemporary readers. This interesting collection presents a wide range of Arthurian studies approaches representing some of the vast scholarship on the genre.

Автор: Aeschylus, Euripides Название: Three Other Theban Plays: Aeschylus Seven Against Thebes; Euripides Suppliants; Euripides Phoenician Women ISBN: 1624664717 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781624664717 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Цена: 20020.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Though now associated mainly with Sophocles Theban Plays and Euripides Bacchae , the theme of Thebes and its royalty was a favorite of ancient Greek poets, one explored in a now lost epic cycle, as well as several other surviving tragedies. With a rich Introduction that sets three of these plays within the larger contexts of Theban legend and of Greek tragedy in performance, Cecelia Eaton Luschnigs annotated translation of Aeschylus Seven Against Thebes , Euripides Suppliants , and Euripides Phoenician Women offers a brilliant constellation of less familiar Theban plays—those dealing with the war between Oedipus sons, its casualties, and survivors.

This volume brings together a group of interdisciplinary experts who demonstrate that Aeschylus' Seven Against Thebes is a text of continuing relevance and value for exploring ancient, contemporary and comparative issues of war and its attendant trauma. The volume features contributions from an international cast of experts, as well as a conversation with a retired U.S. Army Lt. Col., giving her perspectives on the blending of reality and fiction in Aeschylus' war tragedies and on the potential of Greek tragedy to speak to contemporary veterans. This book is a fascinating resource for anyone interested in Aeschylus, Greek tragedy and its reception, and war literature.
Автор: Szittya, Penn R. Название: Antifraternal tradition in medieval literature ISBN: 069163890X ISBN-13(EAN): 9780691638904 Издательство: Wiley Рейтинг: Цена: 124610.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание:
This book is a history of a medieval literary tradition that grew out of opposition to the mendicant fraternal orders. Penn R. Szittya argues that the widespread attacks on the friars in late medieval poetry, especially in Ricardian England, drew on an established tradition that originated in the polemical theology, eschatology, and Biblical exegesis of the friars' ecclesiastical enemies--secular clergy, theologians, polemicists, archbishops, canon lawyers, monks, and rival orders.

Автор: Haynes Justin A. Название: The Medieval Classic: Twelfth-Century Latin Epic and the Virgilian Commentary Tradition ISBN: 0190091363 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780190091361 Издательство: Oxford Academ Рейтинг: Цена: 87650.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The Medieval Classic contributes to our understanding of ancient and medieval perceptions of Virgil`s poem the Aeneid while exploring the importance of commentaries in shaping poetic composition, imitation, and the history of allegorical literature.
This is a truly paradigm-shifting study that reads a key text in Latin Humanist studies as the culmination, rather than an early example, of a tradition in university drama. It persuasively argues against the common assumption that there was no "drama" in the medieval universities until the syllabus was influenced by humanist ideas, and posits a new way of reading the performative dimensions of fourteenth and fifteenth-century university education in, for example, Ciceronian tuition on epistolary delivery. David Bevington calls it "an impressively learned discussion" and commends the sophistication of its use of performativity theory.
