Book Synopsis Jaufre (Routledge Revivals) by : Ross G. Arthur
Download or read book Jaufre (Routledge Revivals) written by Ross G. Arthur and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This translation, first published in 1992, presents one of the most memorable medieval ballads, largely because it contains a number of surprises and falsified expectations. Jaufre, the hero, arrives at the court of King Arthur with a total and naïve faith in the King and his ability to effect a total transformation in his followers by inducting them into the order of knighthood. As his quest proceeds, he learns the mistake in his idealised view of chivalry and his uncompromising view of pure justice, untempered by mercy. By charting the choices Jaufre makes in military and amorous encounters and the effectiveness of his responses to social trials and temptations, the audience discerns the route to independent adulthood, prestige and virtue, as the poet conceives of them. This fascinating reissue will be of particular value to students and academics researching the concepts typically explored within medieval ballads and romances.

By charting the choices Jaufre makes in military and amorous encounters and the effectiveness of his responses to social trials and temptations, the audience discerns the route to independent adulthood, prestige and virtue, as the poet conceives of them.

Book Synopsis Ovid (Routledge Revivals) by : William S. Anderson
Download or read book Ovid (Routledge Revivals) written by William S. Anderson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ovid: The Classical Heritage, first published in 1995, contains a diverse collection of reflections, ranging from the first century, through the Middle Ages, to the twentieth, on a poet who has been adored and reviled in equal measure. With the entire notion of ‘Western culture’ under duress, the need to establish continuity from antiquity to modernity is as pressing as ever. Each essay, selected by Professor Anderson, indicates an Ovidian theme or perspective which remains relevant to our self-understanding today. An enormous range of topics is investigated, in a variety of modes and styles: contemporary reaction, reception by Medieval Schoolmen, Ovid’s influence on Chaucer, and his importance for the ‘New Mythologists’. Overall, Ovid: The Classical Heritage offers a rich selection of essays, which cumulatively demonstrate the continuing importance and fascination of this great Roman poet.

Book Synopsis Routledge Revivals: Metropolis London (1989) by : David Feldman
Download or read book Routledge Revivals: Metropolis London (1989) written by David Feldman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1989, this book seeks to demonstrate the social and political images of late-twentieth century London -- the post-big-bang city, docklands, trade union defeats, a mounting north-south divide -- do not mark as decisive break with the past as they may appear to. It argues that the most striking thing about London's history since 1800 is the continuities and recurrences which punctuate it. The essays collected in this book focus on these themes and address important questions about class, nationality, sexual difference, and radical politics. They combine the established strengths of social history with more innovative approaches such as the history of representations.

Book Synopsis Revival: Provence from Minstrels to the Machine (1938) by : Ford Madox Ford
Download or read book Revival: Provence from Minstrels to the Machine (1938) written by Ford Madox Ford and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Provence" may perhaps be described as the crystallisation of the main idea running through the Great Trade Route, which we published a year ago. Of that book Mr A.G. McDonnell wrote in the Observer: "It is an Indictment, a Philipic....I know of no books to compare with this since Winwood Reade's Martyrdom of Man" But if "The Great Trade Route" was the destructive onslaught on dubious aspects of contemporary civilisation, "Provence" is the celebration of what might have been and what, according to Mr. Ford, may still yet be - contrasted with what is. For in that triangle of sun-baked , wind-swept, austere yet generous land, bounded as to its base by the Mediterranean and as to its sides, by the Rhone and the Alps, Mr Ford sees all the pride of past European splendour, the small healthy core of Europe's ailing present, the only promise for her future. How and why he sees all this his book alone can reveal, with its history, its moralisings, its descriptions vitalised and clarified by art.
Book Synopsis Revival: A History of Spanish Literature (1930) by : Ernest Merimee
Download or read book Revival: A History of Spanish Literature (1930) written by Ernest Merimee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present English version, authorized by the publishers and heirs of M. Merimee, is based on the third French Edition. New material of two sorts has been added, however. First, the translator has been allowed to utlize an annotated, interleaved copy of the Precis, 1922, in which the author, and after his death his son Henri, himself a distinguished Hispanist, had set down material for the next revision. This accounts for many inserted names and phrases, and some paragraphs. Second, the translator has rewritten and added with some freedom.
