Book Synopsis The Lily and the Thistle by : William Calin
Download or read book The Lily and the Thistle written by William Calin and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Lily and the Thistle, William Calin argues for a reconsideration of the French impact on medieval and renaissance Scottish literature. Calin proposes that much of traditional, medieval, and early modern Scottish culture, thought to be native to Scotland or primarily from England, is in fact strikingly international and European. By situating Scottish works in a broad intertextual context, Calin reveals which French genres and modes were most popular in Scotland and why. The Lily and the Thistle provides appraisals of medieval narrative texts in the high courtly mode (equivalent to the French dits amoureux); comic, didactic, and satirical texts; and Scots romance. Special attention is accorded to texts composed originally in French such as the Arthurian Roman de Fergus, as well as to the lyrics of Mary Queen of Scots and little known writers from the French and Scottish canons. By considering both medieval and renaissance works, Calin is able to observe shifts in taste and French influence over the centuries.
Book Synopsis The Vision of Rome in Late Renaissance France by : Margaret M. McGowan
Download or read book The Vision of Rome in Late Renaissance France written by Margaret M. McGowan and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The French vision of Rome was initially determined by travel journals, guide books and a rapidly developing trade in antiquities. Against this background, Margaret McGowan examines work by writers such as Du Bellay, Grevin, Montaigne and Garnier, and by architects and artists such as Philibert de L'Orme and Jean Cousin, showing how they drew upon classical ruins and reconstructions not only to re-enact past meanings and achievements but also, more dynamically, to interpret the present. She explains how Renaissance Rome, enhanced by the presence of so many signs of ancient grandeur, provided a fertile source of artistic creativity. Study of the fragments of the past tempted writers to an imaginative reconstruction of whole forms, while the new structures they created in France revealed the artistic potency of the incomplete and the fragmentary.

Book Synopsis A Critical Study of the Tragedies of Robert Garnier (1545-90) by : John Holyoake
Download or read book A Critical Study of the Tragedies of Robert Garnier (1545-90) written by John Holyoake and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1987 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Garnier is by common consent the greatest tragedian of the French Renaissance. The core of this book consists of detailed critical commentaries on each of his seven tragedies. The stress is placed on the individual qualities of each separate tragedy, although some attention is given to the need to synthesize as well as to Garnier's characteristic qualities. The introduction deals with possible approaches to sixteenth-century tragedy in general while a preliminary chapter traces the historical development of tragedy before Garnier; there are sections on imitation, originality, sources, rhetoric and performance. The author concludes that Garnier does not conform to norms as much as has been claimed and that it is misleading to divide his development so neatly into three phases.
Book Synopsis Representing France and the French in Early Modern English Drama by : Jean-Christophe Mayer
Download or read book Representing France and the French in Early Modern English Drama written by Jean-Christophe Mayer and published by Associated University Presse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide-ranging collection of essays, written by leading specialists, furnishes previously unpublished evidence of France's role and importance in the early modern English literary and dramatic fields. Its chapter-length introduction offers an up-to-date critical presentation of the issues involved: representation, cultural identity, the construction of otherness, Frenchness, and the social and cultural dynamics of theater. The essays in the five sections of the book continue the debate with a series of in-depth studies touching on important critical themes such as intertextuality; old and new historicisms; language, semiotics, and nationhood; imagined geographies; and stereotypes and social satire. The book will appeal to students and specialists of Renaissance literature, to scholars working on the construction of national identity and will be required reading for anyone interested in cultural exchange or comparative literature. Jean-Christophe Mayer is a senior research fellow at the French National Center for Scientific Research.
Book Synopsis The Renaissance Discovery of Violence, from Boccaccio to Shakespeare by : Robert Appelbaum
Download or read book The Renaissance Discovery of Violence, from Boccaccio to Shakespeare written by Robert Appelbaum and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many have wondered why the works of Shakespeare and other early modern writers are so filled with violence, with murder and mayhem. This work explains how and why, putting the literature of the European Renaissance in the context of the history of violence. Personal violence was on the decline in Europe beginning in the fifteenth century, but warfare became much deadlier and the stakes of war became much higher as the new nation-states vied for hegemony and the New World became a target of a shattering invasion. There are times when Renaissance writers seem to celebrate violence, but more commonly they anatomized it and were inclined to focus on victims as well as warriors on the horrors of violence as well as the need for force to protect national security and justice. In Renaissance writing, violence has lost its innocence.
