Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprises a collection of articles devoted to the academic study of popular texts in English. Authors analyse genres which had been habitually looked down on by canonical approaches to literature and art. They take into serious consideration forms like horror literature, the gothic, fantasy, de-tective fiction, science fiction, best-sellers, films and television series of different kinds... among some other representations of what conservative scholars had been considering as marginal. The referential richness of the perspectives reflected here demonstrates that popular texts can be enjoyable for readers and audiences, at the same time that they can be significant in order to reach a better understanding of our culture and ourselves at the beginning of a new millennium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filón; el personaje de esta novela, emprende una cruzada en contra de un mundo que se ha sumergido en una total crisis de proporciones apocalípticas, llevado por sus lecturas de metafísica y alquimia tradicional, se vuelve loco, y rompe con todo lo establecido en los tiempos modernos, en una suerte de profeta callejero, predicando el advenimiento de la Edad de Oro, lo que lo lleva a ser perseguido como enemigo número uno del establishment, y de la Bestia; que lo considera un loco peligroso y reo de lesa humanidad, ya que había postulado, contrariamente al pensamiento de Nietzsche, que en realidad, quien había muerto era la humanidad; y no Dios. El poder lo perseguirá, mientras la ciencia siquiátrica tratará de sicoanalizarlo para encontrar las causas de su errática locura. Filón logrará escapar entre las catacumbas de una gran persecución, refugiándose en el Árbol de la Vida, más allá del bien y del mal. Pasando por varias aventuras, hasta probar el mismo infierno.

Book excerpt: Acaeció en los días de Uther Pendragon, cuando era éste rey de toda Inglaterra, y como tal reinaba, que había un poderoso duque en Cornualles que sostenía guerra contra él mucho tiempo. Y el duque se llamaba duque de Tintagel. Y por intermedio, envió el rey Uther por este duque, encargándole que trajese consigo a su mujer, pues era tenida por hermosa dama, y muy discreta, y se llamaba Igraine. Cuando el duque y su mujer llegaron al rey, por intermedio de grandes señores fueron acordados ambos. Al rey le plació y amó bien a esta dama, y les hizo muy buen recibimiento, y deseó yacer con ella. Pero ella era muy buena mujer, y no quiso consentir al rey. Y entonces habló al duque su esposo, y dijo: «Creo que nos han enviado llamar para deshonrarme; por donde, esposo, os aconsejo que partamos de aquí súbitamente, que podamos cabalgar toda la noche hasta nuestro castillo» Y partieron como dijo ella, de manera que ni el rey ni ninguno de su consejo advirtió su marcha. Tan presto como el rey Uther supo de su súbita partida, se enojó en extremo. Llamó luego a su consejo privado, y les habló de la súbita partida del duque y su mujer. Entonces aconsejaron ellos al rey que enviase por el duque y su mujer con gran requerimiento: «Y si no quiere venir a vuestra llamada, entonces podéis hacer lo que creáis mejor; tendréis motivo para hacer poderosa guerra sobre él.» Así fue hecho, y los mensajeros tuvieron su respuesta, y fue ésta brevemente, que ni él ni su mujer irían. Entonces el rey se enojó en extremo, y le envió claro recado otra vez, conjurándole a que se aprestase, pertrechase y guarneciese, pues en término de cuarenta días le haría salir del castillo más fuerte que tuviera.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The available material in English discussing Latin American anarchism tends to be fragmentary, country-specific, or focused on single individuals. This new translation of Ángel Cappelletti's wide-ranging, country-by-country historical overview of anarchism's social and political achievements in fourteen Latin American nations is the first book-length regional history ever published in English. With a foreword by the translator. Ángel J. Cappelletti (1927–1995) was an Argentinian philosopher who taught at Simon Bolivar University in Venezuela.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An absorbing portrait of the Arthurian age." —San Francisco Chronicle Among the first to look at the story of Camelot through Guinevere's eyes, Woolley sets the traditional tale in the time of its origin, after Britain has shattered into warring fiefdoms. Hampered by neither fantasy nor medieval romance, this young Guinevere is a feisty Celtic tomboy who sees no reason why she must learn to speak Latin, wear dresses, and go south to marry that king. But legends being what they are, the story of Arthur's rise to power soon intrigues her, and when they finally meet, Guinevere and Arthur form a partnership that has lasted for 1500 years. This is Arthurian epic at its best—filled with romance, adventure, authentic Dark Ages detail, and wonderfully human people. Praise for Persia Woolley's Guinevere Trilogy "Original...accurate in detail...Child of the Northern Spring is rich and sweet." —New York Times "Vivid...dramatic...once again we are captivated by the magic of the legend that has long fed our appetite for pageantry and romantic adventure." —Washington Post "Vividly re-creates sixth-century Britain in the throes of change...Child of the Northern Spring portrays a sensitive young woman who will appeal to modern readers." —Publishers Weekly "Richly textured, evoking the sights and sounds of castle and countryside, the qualities of knight and servant. Highly recommended." —Library Journal

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This abundantly illustrated book is an illuminating exploration of the impact of medieval imagery on three hundred years of visual culture. From the soaring castles of Sleeping Beauty to the bloody battles of Game of Thrones, from Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings to mythical beasts in Dungeons & Dragons, and from Medieval Times to the Renaissance Faire, the Middle Ages have inspired artists, playwrights, filmmakers, gamers, and writers for centuries. Indeed, no other historical era has captured the imaginations of so many creators. This volume aims to uncover the many reasons why the Middle Ages have proven so flexible—and applicable—to a variety of modern moments from the eighteenth through the twenty-first century. These “medieval” worlds are often the perfect ground for exploring contemporary cultural concerns and anxieties, saying much more about the time and place in which they were created than they do about the actual conditions of the medieval period. With over 140 color illustrations, from sources ranging from thirteenth-century illuminated manuscripts to contemporary films and video games, and a preface by Game of Thrones costume designer Michele Clapton, The Fantasy of the Middle Ages will surprise and delight both enthusiasts and scholars. This title is published to accompany an exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center from June 21–September 11, 2022.

A mythical tale of honor and bravery, CAMELOT 3000 proves that some heroes are timeless.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empire of Magic offers a genesis and genealogy for medieval romance and the King Arthur legend through the history of Europe's encounters with the East in crusades, travel, missionizing, and empire formation. It also produces definitions of "race" and "nation" for the medieval period and posits that the Middle Ages and medieval fantasies of race and religion have recently returned. Drawing on feminist and gender theory, as well as cultural analyses of race, class, and colonialism, this provocative book revises our understanding of the beginnings of the nine hundred-year-old cultural genre we call romance, as well as the King Arthur legend. Geraldine Heng argues that romance arose in the twelfth century as a cultural response to the trauma and horror of taboo acts--in particular the cannibalism committed by crusaders on the bodies of Muslim enemies in Syria during the First Crusade. From such encounters with the East, Heng suggests, sprang the fantastical episodes featuring King Arthur in Geoffrey of Monmouth's chronicle The History of the Kings of England, a work where history and fantasy collide and merge, each into the other, inventing crucial new examples and models for romances to come. After locating the rise of romance and Arthurian legend in the contact zones of East and West, Heng demonstrates the adaptability of romance and its key role in the genesis of an English national identity. Discussing Jews, women, children, and sexuality in works like the romance of Richard Lionheart, stories of the saintly Constance, Arthurian chivralic literature, the legend of Prester John, and travel narratives, Heng shows how fantasy enabled audiences to work through issues of communal identity, race, color, class and alternative sexualities in socially sanctioned and safe modes of cultural discussion in which pleasure, not anxiety, was paramount. Romance also engaged with the threat of modernity in the late medieval period, as economic, social, and technological transformations occurred and awareness grew of a vastly enlarged world beyond Europe, one encompassing India, China, and Africa. Finally, Heng posits, romance locates England and Europe within an empire of magic and knowledge that surveys the world and makes it intelligible--usable--for the future. Empire of Magic is expansive in scope, spanning the eleventh to the fifteenth centuries, and detailed in coverage, examining various types of romance--historical, national, popular, chivalric, family, and travel romances, among others--to see how cultural fantasy responds to changing crises, pressures, and demands in a number of different ways. Boldly controversial, theoretically sophisticated, and historically rooted, Empire of Magic is a dramatic restaging of the role romance played in the culture of a period and world in ways that suggest how cultural fantasy still functions for us today.
