Download or read book Fifteen Medieval Latin Parodies written by Martha Bayless and published by PIMS. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The fifteen medieval Latin parodies edited in this volume are among the liveliest from a lively age of satire and literary mischief. That medieval clerical life was often high-spirited and entertaining was a secret the official Church was not eager to reveal. Thus, apart from a few exceptions, such as the drinking songs of the Carmina Burana (famously and anachronistically revived by Carl Orff), the medieval Latin of religion and the schools is rarely regarded as a repository of madcap humour. Instead it typically gives the impression of a medium of sombre and utilitarian literature, the dryness relieved by occasional flights of sophisticated love poetry. As the lingua franca of the medieval world, and above all of the medieval Church, Latin can certainly lay claim to innumerable works that prize worthiness above entertainment value. But the examples of clerical and scholarly merrymaking edited in this book--representatives of a widespread tradition--are testimony that the educated were just as fond of revelry as their more secular and plebeian contemporaries."--

Download or read book Kinds of Parody from the Medieval to the Postmodern written by Nil Korkut and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book approaches parody as a literary form that has assumed diverse forms and functions throughout history. The author handles this diversity by classifying parody according to its objects of imitation and specifying three major parodic kinds: parody directed at texts and personal styles, parody directed at genre, and parody directed at discourse. The book argues that different literary-historical periods in Britain have witnessed the prevalence of different kinds of parody and investigates the reasons underlying this phenomenon. All periods from the Middle Ages to the present are considered in this regard, but a special significance is given to the postmodern age, where parody has become a widely produced literary form. The book contends further that postmodern parody is primarily discourse parody - a phenomenon which can be explained through the major concerns of postmodernism as a movement. In addition to situating parody and its kinds in a historical context, this book engages in a detailed analysis of parody in the postmodern age, preparing the ground for making an informed assessment of the direction parody and its kinds may take in the near future.

Download or read book Chaucer and Medieval Estates Satire written by Mann and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1973-06-28 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an attempt to discover the origins and significance of the General Prologue-to the Canterbury Tales. The interest of such an inquiry is many-sided. On the one hand, it throws light on the question of whether `life' or 'literature' was Chaucer's model in this work, on the relationship between Chaucer's twenty-odd pilgrims and the structure of medieval society, and on the role of their `estate' in determining the elements of which Chaucer composes their portraits. On the other hand, it makes suggestions about the ways in which Chaucer convinces us of the individuality of his pilgrims, about the nature of his irony, and the kind of moral standards implicit in the Prologue. This book suggests that Chaucer is ironically substituting for the traditional moral view of social structure a vision of a world where morality becomes as specialised to the individual as his work-life.

This book was released on 2012-10-11 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,3, University of Tubingen (English Department), course: Underground Literature in Medieval England, language: English, abstract: In this work, I examine "The Tale of Sir Thopas" by Geoffrey Chaucer regarding its verious elements of parody. The tale mocks the typical medieval romance, therefore it is first necessary to estabish what the term "romance" means in this context. Then, the various parodied aspects of content will be examined, including Sir Thopas himself, his not-so-heroic battles, and love. However, formal aspects as well have been heavily parodied in Sir Thopas and will be in focus, namely rhyming, descriptions, the minstrel's introduction as well as the general structure of the tale, including its end.

Download or read book Ambivalent Conventions written by Anne Elizabeth Cobby and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 1995 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much work has already been done on the conventions and formulae of Old French literature, particularly epic literature, and on parody in the French Middle Ages. This book links these approaches, widens the concept of 'formula', and aims to show that certain authors, far from being enslaved by the conventions within which they worked, were conscious of them and could master them with sufficient independence to exploit them for calculated literary effect, and in particular for parody. It studies the fabliaux, Aucassin et Nicolette and Le Pèlerinage de Charlemagne, texts in which formulae play a varied and subtle part. In the fabliaux we find that formulae borrowed from serious literature add parodic depth to the often simple humour of these tales, but that the genre as a whole is not essentially parodic. Aucassin et Nicolette uses conventions to arouse expectations which may or may not be satisfied; parody proves to be fundamental to this work. The approach shows its full potential when applied to Le Pèlerinage de Charlemagne; study of this text's use of formulae of the epic and romance traditions reveals a high degree of complexity and a finely nuanced parody.

Download or read book Medieval Crossover written by Barbara Newman and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2013-05-15 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sacred and the secular in medieval literature have too often been perceived as opposites, or else relegated to separate but unequal spheres. In Medieval Crossover: Reading the Secular against the Sacred, Barbara Newman offers a new approach to the many ways that sacred and secular interact in medieval literature, arguing that (in contrast to our own cultural situation) the sacred was the normative, unmarked default category against which the secular always had to define itself and establish its niche. Newman refers to this dialectical relationship as "crossover"—which is not a genre in itself, but a mode of interaction, an openness to the meeting or even merger of sacred and secular in a wide variety of forms. Newman sketches a few of the principles that shape their interaction: the hermeneutics of "both/and," the principle of double judgment, the confluence of pagan material and Christian meaning in Arthurian romance, the rule of convergent idealism in hagiographic romance, and the double-edged sword in parody. Medieval Crossover explores a wealth of case studies in French, English, and Latin texts that concentrate on instances of paradox, collision, and convergence. Newman convincingly and with great clarity demonstrates the widespread applicability of the crossover concept as an analytical tool, examining some very disparate works. These include French and English romances about Lancelot and the Grail; the mystical writing of Marguerite Porete (placed in the context of lay spirituality, lyric traditions, and the Romance of the Rose); multiple examples of parody (sexually obscene, shockingly anti-Semitic, or cleverly litigious); and René of Anjou's two allegorical dream visions. Some of these texts are scarcely known to medievalists; others are rarely studied together. Newman's originality in her choice of these primary works will inspire new questions and set in motion new fields of exploration for medievalists working in a large variety of disciplines, including literature, religious studies, history, and cultural studies.

Download or read book Writing Gender and Genre in Medieval Literature written by Elaine Treharne and published by DS Brewer. This book was released on 2002 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medievalists demonstrate how a focus on gender can transform an approach to literary texts and genres. The essays in this annual English Association volume provide useful examples of how the conventions behind and the expectations evoked by literary modes and genres help to shape what purports to be an entirely essential and/or socially constructed aspect of identity of the 'he', 'she', or 'I' of the literary text. Ranging across materials from Old English Biblical poetry and hagiography to the late Middle English romances and fabliaux, the essays are united by a commitment to a variety of traditional scholarly methodologies. But each examines afresh an important aspect of what it means to be man or women, husband, son, mother, daughter, wife, devotee or love in the context of particular kinds of medieval literary texts.

Download or read book Parody written by Margaret A. Rose and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993-09-09 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this definitive work Margaret Rose presents an analysis and history of theories and uses of parody from ancient to contemporary times and offers a new approach to the analysis and classification of modern, late-modern, and post-modern theories of the subject. The author's Parody/Meta-Fiction (1979) was influential in broadening awareness of parody as a 'double-coded' device which could be used for more than mere ridicule. In the present study she both expands and revises the introductory section of her 1979 text and adds substantial new sections on modern and post-modern theories and uses of parody and pastiche which also discuss the work of theorists and writers including the Russian formalists, Mikhail Bakhtin, Hans Robert Jauss, Wolfgang Iser, Julia Kristeva, Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Ihab Hassan, Jean Baudrillard, Fredric Jameson, A. S. Byatt, Martin Amis, Charles Jencks, Umberto Eco, David Lodge, Malcolm Bradbury and others.
