Download or read book Heraldry, Pageantry and Social Display in Medieval England written by Peter R. Coss and published by Boydell Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discussion of display through a range of artefacts and in a variety of contexts: family and lineage, social distinction and aspiration, ceremony and social bonding, and the expression of power and authority. Medieval culture was intensely visual. Although this has long been recognised by art historians and by enthusiasts for particular media, there has been little attempt to study social display as a subject in its own right. And yet, display takes us directly into the values, aspirations and, indeed, anxieties of past societies. In this illustrated volume a group of experts address a series of interrelated themes around the issue of display and do so in a waywhich avoids jargon and overly technical language. Among the themes are family and lineage, social distinction and aspiration, ceremony and social bonding, and the expression of power and authority. The media include monumental effigies, brasses, stained glass, rolls of arms, manuscripts, jewels, plate, seals and coins.

Download or read book The Medieval Twelve Days of Christmas: A Musical Pageant of the Feast Days Between December 25 and January 6 as They Were Celebrated in England in the written by Karis Crawford and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-01-13 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Middle Ages, the Christmas season didn't end on December 25. Instead, the festivities were just beginning! This pageant vividly re-creates Christmas celebrations in medieval England with brief excerpts from plays, legends, sermons, poems, and liturgies. As the days of Christmas unfold, saints and sinners, wassailers and kings, noblewomen and soldiers make appearances, and a narrator provides a unifying voice. Linking the segments are merry carols and haunting chants, offered by instrumentalists and singers. On the stage, a unique Wheel of Christmastide (depicted on the cover of the book) is rotated to mark the progression of the Christmas season. The Medieval Twelve Days of Christmas pageant will be a popular addition to the performance lineups of living history groups, churches, church-affiliated high schools and colleges, early music ensembles, and local theater companies. Complete production instructions are included, covering casting, costumes, props, venue, printed programs, scholarly background, and more. Adults and older children perform and are also the targeted audience for the pageant, which runs about 60 to 80 minutes. Although the narratives and songs in this pageant are authentically medieval, the materials have been crafted in Modern English to be easily understood. The script coordinates with music and lyrics in The New Oxford Book of Carols, edited by Keyte and Parrott (1992), which should be purchased separately. Please note that this pageant is based on Christian observances in England in the Middle Ages, not on the later song about a partridge in a pear tree! The author of The Medieval Twelve Days of Christmas holds a PhD in medieval literature from the University of Toronto, as well as a License in Medieval Studies from the Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies. She served as an associate editor for the Middle English Dictionary, taught medieval and Renaissance literature at the University of Michigan, and led a graduate writing program at Hamline University. In 2002, she produced and directed a successful staging of the pageant in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for an audience of about 500.

Book excerpt: A SUNDAY TIMES HISTORY BOOK OF THE YEAR 'A triumph' Guardian 'Glorious ... makes the past at once familiar, exotic and thrilling.' Dominic Sandbrook 'A brilliant book' Mail on Sunday Just like us, medieval men and women worried about growing old, got blisters and indigestion, fell in love and had children. And yet their lives were full of miraculous and richly metaphorical experiences radically different to our own, unfolding in a world where deadly wounds might be healed overnight by divine intervention, or the heart of a king, plucked from his corpse, could be held aloft as a powerful symbol of political rule. In this richly-illustrated and unusual history, Jack Hartnell uncovers the fascinating ways in which people thought about, explored and experienced their physical selves in the Middle Ages, from Constantinople to Cairo and Canterbury. Unfolding like a medieval pageant, and filled with saints, soldiers, caliphs, queens, monks and monstrous beasts, it throws light on the medieval body from head to toe - revealing the surprisingly sophisticated medical knowledge of the time in the process. Bringing together medicine, art, music, politics, philosophy and social history, there is no better guide to what life was really like for the men and women who lived and died in the Middle Ages. Medieval Bodies is published in association with Wellcome Collection.
