Book Synopsis English Hawking and Hunting in the Boke of St. Albans by : Juliana Berners
Download or read book English Hawking and Hunting in the Boke of St. Albans written by Juliana Berners and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1975 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Boke of St. Albans aimed to provide its readers with instruction in hawking, hunting, coat-armour and blazing arms, and the language proper to each. Compiled in 1486 from a number of sources by the 'Schoolmaster Printer' of St. Albans, it proved immediately popular and was well used for about a century and a half, forming the basis of several later works on the same subjects. Today its appeal is two-fold: being so very early an example of vernacular English provincial printing, it is of interest to the bibliographer and antiquarian, while in content it is of importance to any study of life in the late medieval and early renaissance period, and to an understanding of many references and allusions in the contemporary literature. This edition covers the first two sections (hawking and hunting), together with the additional and related material used by the printer to complete the last gathering of each, and aims in particular to facilitate an understanding of fifteenth-century sporting practice and terminology. The text is provided in facsimile, with a brief bibliographical and linguistic discussion, close examination of the sources, and detailed commentary upon the subject-matter. A useful feature is the classified index, which enables the book to be used as a reference work in conjunction with similar treatises and contemporary literature." --Book jacket.

Book Synopsis Masculinity and the Hunt by : Catherine Bates
Download or read book Masculinity and the Hunt written by Catherine Bates and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-03-21 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an age-old metaphor for the sexual chase, the hunt provides a uniquely conflicted site for the representation of masculinity. On the one hand, hunting had from ancient times served to define a particular and culturally approved mode of masculinity as heroic, pursuant, and goal-oriented, where success was measured by the achievement of the objectives set: the capture and killing of prey. When applied to love, on the other hand, hunting was inflected quite differently. At first glance, the basic scenario of a male subject pursuing elusive quarry over which he ultimately comes to assert control might seem to epitomise the dynamic of the sexual chase, yet when poets invoke the hunt in an amorous context, this most obvious manifestation of the metaphor is not the one they put to use. On the contrary, in lyric poetry and romance, the hunt metaphor serves to demote or destabilise the masculine subject in some way. The huntsman is routinely a figure of failure: for all his efforts, he either fails to catch what he pursues, catches the wrong thing, ends up being caught by others, or runs round in circles chasing himself. His failure is measured precisely as a shortfall from the cultural ideal. The metaphor of the hunt thus opens up possibilities for exploring definitions of masculinity that deviate from culturally approved models of mastery and power. It shows how limited those models are and offers examples of alternative and counter-cultural versions of a masculine subjectivity that radically query patriarchal stereotypes of gender and class. The hunt has been the subject of increased critical interest over last few years, partly as a result of its politicisation as an issue, as reflected in recent changes to hunting legislation within the UK. Shifting attitudes to the hunt indicate that as a cultural phenomenon it continues to mobilise strong opinion and to activate notions of class and gender identity to this day. Masculinity and the Hunt is a unique study considering the link between hunting and masculinity in the literature of the sixteenth century.

Book Synopsis A Sporting Lexicon of the Fifteenth Century: The J.B. Treatise (2nd revised edition) by : David Scott-Macnab
Download or read book A Sporting Lexicon of the Fifteenth Century: The J.B. Treatise (2nd revised edition) written by David Scott-Macnab and published by Society for the Study of Medieval Languages and Literature. This book was released on 2017-07-15 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The J.B. Treatise is a collection of lore and information from the later fifteenth century on a range of topics considered essential learning for anyone aspiring to the English gentry. It has hitherto been known principally by way of an eclectic medley of filler material in the printed Boke of St Albans (1486), but survives in numerous variant forms in twenty-two, mostly unrelated, manuscripts. The treatise’s foremost concerns are hawking and hunting, but it differs from other contemporary treatises on these sports by concentrating on terminology rather than praxis. Much of its information is presented in the form of lists of terms, suggesting that it served mainly as a lexical primer rather than a manual of practical instruction. This study – which includes four major variant texts, explanatory notes, a glossary and complete collations of the ‘J.B.’ lists of collective nouns and carving terms – is the first comprehensive survey of all known versions of the J.B. Treatise, whose contents will be of interest to English medievalists in a range of disciplines, including history, literature and linguistics. This second edition of the J.B. Treatise includes comprehensive updates to the introduction, notes, and glossary to account for new scholarship, including numerous emendations to the OED prompted by lexical evidence presented in the first edition (2003). It also incorporates a revised bibliography and references to new editions of medieval texts.
Book Synopsis Manuscripts in Lambeth Palace Library, Including Those Formerly in Sion College Library by : Oliver S. Pickering
Download or read book Manuscripts in Lambeth Palace Library, Including Those Formerly in Sion College Library written by Oliver S. Pickering and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 1999 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handlist to manuscripts in one of Britain's major medieval repositories. Lambeth Palace Library, which dates from a bequest by Archbishop Bancroft in 1610, is one of England's major repositories of medieval manuscripts. More than half of the ninety-six manuscripts and documents containing items of Middle English prose were already present when the library was temporarily transferred to Cambridge in 1647. In the succeeding centuries further manuscript materials have continually been added, and within the last few years the library has become home to the older part of Sion College Library, an event that has added a further seven manuscripts to the present handlist. The collection at Lambeth is large enough to be fully representative of the corpus of Middle English prose: the Brut, the Wycliffite Bible, and Love's Mirror, for example, are all present, in some cases in multiple copies, as are writings by Hilton and Rolle. There are sermon cycles (including an almost complete set of Wycliffite sermons), medical recipes, historical works, and anthologies of religious treatises. Altogether the current handlist indexes almost 800 separate items, ranging from the veterinary to the liturgical. O.S.

Book Synopsis The Works of the Gawain Poet by : Ad Putter
Download or read book The Works of the Gawain Poet written by Ad Putter and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 953 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new volume of the works of the Gawain poet, destined to become the definitive edition for students and scholars. This volume brings together four works of the unknown fourteenth-century poet famous for the Arthurian romance Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, in their original Middle English. In one of the great tales of medieval literature, Gawain, the noblest knight of King Arthur's court, must keep a deadly bargain with a monstrous knight and resist the advances of his host's beautiful wife. The dream vision of Pearl depicts a bereaved father whose lost child leads him to glimpse heaven. And in moral poems based on stories from the Bible, Cleanness warns against sins of the flesh and of desecration, while Patience encourages readers to endure suffering as God's will. Little is known about the so-called 'Gawain poet', who wrote during the late fourteenth century. It is believed that he came from south-east Cheshire, an important cultural and economic centre at the time, and he was clearly well-read in Latin, French and English. Although he is not named as the author of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, Patience, Cleanness, the four works have been attributed to him based on a careful comparison of their language, date and themes. Myra Stokes was formerly Senior Lecturer in the Department of English at Bristol University. Her books include Justice and Mercy in Piers Plowman and The Language of Jane Austen. Ad Putter teaches at the English Department and the Centre for Medieval Studies of the University of Bristol, where is Professor of Medieval English Literature. His monographs include Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and French Arthurian Romance and An Introduction to the Gawain Poet, and he is also co-editor of The Cambridge Companion to the Arthurian Legend.
