English Literature in the Age of Chaucer by Dieter Mehl Pdf

Written in an engaging and accessible manner, English Literature in the Age of Chaucer serves as both a lucid introduction to Middle English literature for those coming fresh to the study of earlier English writing, and as a stimulating examination of the themes, traditions and the literary achievement of a number of particulary original and interesting authors. In addition to detailed and sensitive treatment of Chaucer's major works, the book includes chapters on his chief contemporaries, such as John Gower, William Langland and the Gawain-poet. It also examines the often underrated contribution to the English literary tradition of his successors John Lydgate and Thomas Hoccleve, as well as the interesting and original work of the Scottish poets, Robert Henryson, William Dunbar and Gavin Douglas, who also claim Chaucer as their model. Apart from the narrative poetry of Chaucer and his followers, the book also contains chapters on the Middle English lyric; Middle English prose, including Mandeville's travels; the most original and imaginative writings of the Middle English mystics, in particular Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe; and Thomas Malory's impressive prose compilation of Arthurian stories.

A Reference Guide for English Studies by Michael J. Marcuse Pdf

This ambitious undertaking is designed to acquaint students, teachers, and researchers with reference sources in any branch of English studies, which Marcuse defines as "all those subjects and lines of critical and scholarly inquiry presently pursued by members of university departments of English language and literature.'' Within each of 24 major sections, Marcuse lists and annotates bibliographies, guides, reviews of research, encyclopedias, dictionaries, journals, and reference histories. The annotations and various indexes are models of clarity and usefulness, and cross references are liberally supplied where appropriate. Although cost-conscious librarians will probably consider the several other excellent literary bibliographies in print, such as James L. Harner's Literary Research Guide (Modern Language Assn. of America, 1989), larger academic libraries will want Marcuse's volume.-- Jack Bales, Mary Washington Coll.

Writing on Skin in the Age of Chaucer by Nicole Nyffenegger,Katrin Rupp Pdf

Owing to its relatedness to parchment as the primary writing matter of the Middle Ages, human skin was not only a topic to write about in medieval texts, it was also conceived of as an inscribable surface, both in the material and in the figurative sense. This volume explores the textuality of human skin as discussed by Geoffrey Chaucer and other writers (medical, religious, philosophical, and literary) of the fourteenth and fifteenth century. It presents four main aspects of the complex relations between text, parchment, and human skin as they have been discussed in recent scholarship. These four aspects are, first, the (mostly figurative) resonances between parchment-making and transformations of human skin, second, parchment as a space of contact between animal and human spheres, third, human skin and parchment as sites where (gender) identities are negotiated, and fourth, the place of medieval skin studies within cultural studies and its relationship to the major concerns of cultural studies: the difficult demarcation of skin from body, the instability of any inscription, and the skin’s precarious state as an entity of its own.

The Age of Chaucer, 1346-1400 (Classic Reprint) by F. J. Snell Pdf

Excerpt from The Age of Chaucer, 1346-1400 IN compiling the present work the author has attempted to lay under contribution the labours of his predecessors in the same field, availing himself of the newest lights, but not wholly neglecting the old. Thus, whilehe has leant heavily on Professor Skeat, as every student of the period must, he has not quite forgotten Tyrwhitt. The industry of foreign scholars also has been made to pro mote whatever utility the Age of Chaucer may be con sidered to possess - for example, Ten Brink. With regard to Piers Plowman, M. Jusserand's careful and charming l'e'pope'e Mystique de William Langland has been found invaluable; and other writings of the same author have been advantageously consulted. The writer's Obligations have been, in general, acknowledged in the text, and therefore need not be recapitulated further. He must, however, record his warm appreciation of Professor Hales's courtesy and helpfulness. Without his wise counsel it is certain the book would have been far more imperfect. Although the contrast may operate to his disadvantage, the author feels a special pleasure in the inclusion of a full introduction by Mr. Hales, inasmuch as Mr. Hales's edition of Milton's Areopagitica was his present colla borator's first real lesson in English literature.
