Book Synopsis The Faerie Queene as Children's Literature by : Velma Bourgeois Richmond
Download or read book The Faerie Queene as Children's Literature written by Velma Bourgeois Richmond and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edmund Spenser's vast epic poem The Faerie Queene is the most challenging masterpiece in early modern literature and is praised as the work most representative of the Elizabethan age. In it he fused traditions of medieval romance and classical epic, his religious and political allegory creating a Protestant alternative to the Catholic romances rejected by humanists and Puritans. The poem was later made over as children's literature, retold in lavish volumes and schoolbooks and appreciated in pedagogical studies and literary histories. Distinguished writers for children simplified the stories and noted artists illustrated them. Children were less encouraged to consider the allegory than to be inspired to the moral virtues. This book studies The Faerie Queene's many adaptations for a young audience in order to provide a richer understanding of both the original and adapted texts.

This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Connexion Between Ancient, and Modern Romance Precisely the same defect may be noted in the criticism of the mediaeval Romances by the leading literary historians at the close of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth centuries. All of these critics were men of taste and refinement; but, as they did not take the trouble to realize historically the spirit of the Romance writers, they neglected the lesson to be learned from the form of their compositions, and so contrived to convey to the reader a wrong impression about the subj ect-matter.

Book Synopsis Medieval Romance in England by : Laura Hibbard Loomis
Download or read book Medieval Romance in England written by Laura Hibbard Loomis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Medieval Romance in England: A Study of the Sources and Analogues of the Non-Cyclic Metrical Romances The amount of intensive work that has been done on the in dividual non-cyclic romances and the lack of any comprehensive effort to summarize the results have led almost equally to the present undertaking. For the purpose of selection the Middle English romances of this type offered a convenient and somewhat neglected group with which to begin. Though a few of them are relatively unimportant, others are versions of some of the most famous European stories of the Middle Ages, and for the sake of convenient reference it has seemed well to include the less with the more important. Each romance is treated indi vidually in a section, one part of which deals with Versions, and one with the Origins of the tale. Under Versions I have at tempted to give something of a life history of each legend by listing all of the literary versions which were composed before 1500, and by indicating so far as possible their relationship. In the section on Orzgms I have recorded the oplnlons of scholars on the historical and legendary elements that gave rise to the story and have tried to set forth the most important motifs which characterize the different versions. The Index of M otters and Literature at the close of the book is designed to co-ordinate this material and to reveal for these romances, as the similar in dex in Volume V of Professor Child's monumental edition of The English and Scottish Ballads revealed for the ballads, the recurrent themes, the stock situations, characters, incidents.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance Cycle of Charlemagne and His Peers The following study has been designed as a companion to the earlier essay on "King Arthur and his Knights." No series dealing with Mediaeval Romance could claim to be in any sense complete were the great cycle which gave an impetus to the evolution of European romantic literature omitted. A complete account is as yet hardly possible however; many of the principal texts are still unedited, and students are largely dependent upon travaux d'ensemble completed many years ago.

Book Synopsis The Ancient Yew by : Robert Bevan-Jones
Download or read book The Ancient Yew written by Robert Bevan-Jones and published by . This book was released on 2016-10-31 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gnarled, immutable yew tree is one of the most evocative sights in the British and Irish language, an evergreen impression of immortality, the tree that provides a living botanical link between our own landscapes and those of the distant past. This book tells the extraordinary story of the yew’s role in the landscape through the millennia, and makes a convincing case for the origins of many of the oldest trees, as markers of the holy places founded by Celtic saints in the early medieval ‘Dark Ages’. With wonderful photographic portraits of ancient yews and a gazetteer (with locations) of the oldest yew trees in Britain, the book brings together for the first time all the evidence about the dating, history, archaeology and cultural connections of the yew. Robert Bevan-Jones discusses its history, biology, the origins of its name, the yew berry and its toxicity, its distribution across Britain, means of dating examples, and their association with folklore, with churchyards, abbeys, springs, pre-Reformation wells and as landscape markers. This third edition has an updated introduction with new photographs and corrections to the main text.
