Book Synopsis A Life Both Public and Private by : Brent R. LaPadula
Download or read book A Life Both Public and Private written by Brent R. LaPadula and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of the individual or the self, central in so many modern-day contexts, has not been investigated in depth in the Anglo-Saxon period. Focusing on Old English poetry, the author argues that a singular, Anglo-Saxon sense of self may be found by analyzing their surviving verse. The concept of the individual, with an identity outside of her community, is clearly evident during this period, and the widely accepted view that the individual as we understand it did not really exist until the Renaissance does not stand up to scrutiny.
Book Synopsis Cognitive Approaches to Old English Poetry by : Antonina Harbus
Download or read book Cognitive Approaches to Old English Poetry written by Antonina Harbus and published by DS Brewer. This book was released on 2012 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offers an entirely new way of interpreting and examining Anglo-Saxon texts, via theories derived from cognitive studies. A major, thoughtful study, applying new and serious interpretative and critical perspectives to a central range of Old English poetry. Professor John Hines, Cardiff University Cognitive approaches to literature offernew and exciting ways of interpreting literature and mentalities, by bringing ideas and methodologies from Cognitive Science into the analysis of literature and culture. While these approaches are of particular value in relation to understanding the texts of remote societies, they have to date made very little impact on Anglo-Saxon Studies. This book therefore acts as a pioneer, mapping out the new field, explaining its relevance to Old English Literary Studies, and demonstrating in practice its application to a range of key vernacular poetic texts, including Beowulf, The Wanderer, and poems from the Exeter Book. Adapting key ideas from three related fields - Cognitive Literary/Cultural Studies, Cognitive Poetics, and Conceptual Metaphor Theory - in conjunction with more familiar models, derived from Literary Analysis, Stylistics, and Historical Linguistics, allows several new ways of thinking about Old English literature to emerge. It permits a systematic means of examining and accounting for the conceptual structures that underpin Anglo-Saxon poetics, as well as fuller explorations, at the level of mental processing, of the workings of literary language in context. The result is a set of approaches to interpreting Anglo-Saxon textuality, through detailed studies of the concepts, mental schemas, and associative logic implied in and triggeredby the evocative language and meaning structures of surviving works. ANTONINA HARBUS is Professor in the Department of English at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia.
Book Synopsis Anglo-Saxon Psychologies in the Vernacular and Latin Traditions by : Leslie Lockett
Download or read book Anglo-Saxon Psychologies in the Vernacular and Latin Traditions written by Leslie Lockett and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2017-05-08 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Old English verse and prose depict the human mind as a corporeal entity located in the chest cavity, susceptible to spatial and thermal changes corresponding to the psychological states: it was thought that emotions such as rage, grief, and yearning could cause the contents of the chest to grow warm, boil, or be constricted by pressure. While readers usually assume the metaphorical nature of such literary images, Leslie Lockett, in Anglo-Saxon Psychologies in the Vernacular and Latin Traditions, argues that these depictions are literal representations of Anglo-Saxon folk psychology. Lockett analyses both well-studied and little-known texts, including Insular Latin grammars, The Ruin, the Old English Soliloquies, The Rhyming Poem, and the writings of Patrick, Bishop of Dublin. She demonstrates that the Platonist-Christian theory of the incorporeal mind was known to very few Anglo-Saxons throughout most of the period, while the concept of mind-in-the-heart remained widespread. Anglo-Saxon Psychologies in the Vernacular and Latin Traditions examines the interactions of rival - and incompatible - concepts of the mind in a highly original way.
Book Synopsis Bede and the Cosmos by : Eoghan Ahern
Download or read book Bede and the Cosmos written by Eoghan Ahern and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bede and the Cosmos examines Bede’s cosmology—his understanding of the universe and its laws. It explores his ideas regarding both the structure and mechanics of the created world and the relationship of that world to its Creator. Beginning with On the Nature of Things and moving on to survey his writings in other genres, it demonstrates the key role that natural philosophy played in shaping Bede’s worldview, and explores the ramifications that this had on his cultural, theological and historical thought. From questions about angelic bodies and the destruction of the world at judgement day, to subtle arguments about free will and the meaning of history, Bede’s fascinating and unique engagement with the natural world is explored in this comprehensive study.

Book Synopsis The Life of the Mind in Old English Poetry by : Antonina Harbus
Download or read book The Life of the Mind in Old English Poetry written by Antonina Harbus and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ideas about the human mind are culturally specific and over time vary in form and prominence. The Life of the Mind in Old English Poetry presents the first extensive exploration of Anglo-Saxon beliefs about the mind and how these views informed Old English poetry. It identifies in this poetry a particular cultural focus on the mental world and formulates a multivalent model of the mind behind it, as the seat of emotions, the site of temptation, the container of knowledge, and a heroic weapon. The Life of the Mind in Old English Poetry treats a wide range of Old English literary genres (in the context of their Latin sources and analogues where applicable) in order to discover how ideas about the mind shape the narrative, didactic, and linguistic design of poetic discourse. Particular attention is paid to the rich and slippery vernacular vocabulary for the mind which suggests a special interest in the subject in Old English poetry. The book argues that Anglo-Saxon poets were acutely conscious of mental functions and perceived the psychological basis not only of the cognitive world, but also of the emotions and of the spiritual life.

Book Synopsis Alternative Readings in Old English Poetry by : Jerome Mandel
Download or read book Alternative Readings in Old English Poetry written by Jerome Mandel and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1987 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Mandel examines four Old English elegies--The Wanderer, The Seafarer, Deor, and The Wife's Lament--from a point of view that combines rhetorical analysis (the contrastive collocation of words, phrases, and ideas) with a penetrating reading of the text. He points to new relationships among the parts of these poems and shows how they can be read in ways different from those currently accepted by the community of scholars. These «alternative readings» of Old English poetry will greatly modify the perception of all students and scholars interested in Anglo-Saxon life and culture.
