The poem is written in a series of octaves (huitains in the French) each line of which contains eight syllables (octosyllabes), which is also the style of the poet François Villon in the "Ballade des dames du temps jadis" written later in the 15th century. In the debate between the Lover and the Lady, the alternating octaves delineate their arguments. The rhyme scheme is ABABBCBC of crossed rhymes (rimes croisées).

This book offers a new reading of early modern romance in the light of historically contemporary accounts of mind, and specifically the medical tradition of love-melancholy. The book argues that the medical profile of the melancholic lover provides an essential context for understanding the characteristic patterns of romance: narrative deferral, epistemological uncertainty, and the endless quest for a quasi-phantasmic beloved. Unlike many recent studies of romance, this book establishes a detailed historical basis for investigating the psychological structure of romance. Wells begins by tracing the development of the medical disorder first known in the Latin west as amor hereos (lovesickness) from its earliest roots in Greek and Arabic medicine to its translation into the Latin medical tradition. Drawing on this detailed historical material, the book considers three important early modern romances: Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, Tasso's Gerusalemme Liberata, and Spenser's The Faerie Queene, concluding with a brief consideration of the significance of this literary and medical legacy for Romanticism. Most broadly, the interdisciplinary nature of this study allows the author to investigate the central critical problem of early modern subjectivity in substantially new ways.

On several counts, one particular collection of French lyrics made in France in the late fourteenth century, University of Pennsylvania MS 15, is the most likely repository of Chaucer's French poems. It is the largest manuscript anthology extant of fourteenth-century French lyrics in the formes fixes (balade, rondeaux, virelay, lay, and five-stanza chanson) with by far the largest number of works of unknown authorship. The known authors represented in the manuscript and the texts themselves have notable associations with England and with Chaucer. And intriguingly there are fifteen lyrics each headed by the initials Ch, very likely indications of authorship, neatly inserted between rubric and text. . . . [The] rubrics, together with other substantial manuscript evidence and the intrinsic worth of the poems, make them easily the best candidates among extant French lyrics for Chaucer's authorship, appropriate representatives of his French work. - from the Introduction

This comprehensive anthology attempts to give the common reader possession of six centuries of great British and American poetry. The book features a large introductory essay by Harold Bloom called "The Art of Reading Poetry," which presents his critical reflections of more than half a century devoted to the reading, teaching, and writing about the literary achievement he loves most. In the case of all major poets in the language, this volume offers either the entire range of what is most valuable in their work, or vital selections that illuminate each figure's contribution. There are also headnotes by Harold Bloom to every poet in the volume as well as to the most important individual poems. Much more than any other anthology ever gathered, this book provides readers who desire the pleasures of a sublime art with very nearly everything they need in a single volume. It also is regarded as his final meditation upon all those who have formed his mind.

Two totally different women. One summer that will change their lives forever. A dark and humorous suspense story. Isabella makes a living conning wealthy men out of their fortunes. She's been raised to be a cold, heartless, manipulation machine and she does pretty well for herself. Isabella isn't bothered about finding love or starting a family, she prefers to keep things simple by looking out for herself and acting in her own best interests, only. There is one problem though...when Isabella loses her temper from time to time, bad things happen. The kind of bad things that mean somebody goes missing. She normally has her guardian, Vivian, to keep her straight but Isabella's been left to her own devices lately and things are starting to get out of control. We meet Isabella on holiday with her sugardaddy, Albert. She's embroiled in a very niche dilemma: she wants to get rid of him but maintain access to his funds. Should she kill him? Marry him? Rob him? She can't decide, and without Vivian's guidance, her imagination runs wild. Meanwhile, Emma Whitmore is as opposite to Isabella as a person can be. She's Albert's patient and long-suffering wife. She suspects things aren't right with her marriage but is too deeply in love with Albert to think about leaving. What happens when she's confronted with the truth? Will she give up or decide to fight for her family? ✔Includes the prequel short story 'Sugarbabies & Sociopaths'.

Full woman, fleshly apple, hot moon, thick smell of seaweed, crushed mud and light, what obscure brilliance opens between your columns? What ancient night does a man touch with his senses? Loving is a journey with water and with stars, with smothered air and abrupt storms of flour: loving is a clash of lightning-bolts and two bodies defeated by a single drop of honey. The poetry of Pablo Neruda is beloved worldwide for its passion, humor, and exceptional accessibility. The nearly fifty poems selected for this collection and translated by Stephen Mitchell—widely praised for his original and definitive translations of spiritual writings and poetry—focus on Neruda's mature period, when the poet was in his fifties. A bilingual volume, with Neruda's original Spanish text facing Mitchell's English translation, it will bring Neruda's sensuous work to vibrant life for a whole new generation of readers.

Taking as its subject three Middle English texts, The Romaunt of the Rose (anon.), The Belle Dame Sans Mercy (Richard Roos), and An ABC to the Virgin (Geoffrey Chaucer), this book examines these texts in terms of their status as translations from French into English. It develops a critical framework through which to situate the texts in relation to their French sources: Le Roman de la Rose (Guillaume de Lorris/Jean de Meun), La Belle Dame sans mercy (Alain Chartier), and Le Pelerinage de la Vie humaine (Guillaume de Deguilleville), focusing on a consideration of the act of translation as broad, cultural, and bibliographical transfer, as well as precise, linguistic exercise.All three French texts sparked contest or debate, and this book investigates the contributions made to these debates by their English translations, in terms of language used and presentation in MS and print. All three middle English translations are 'Chaucerian' - that is to say, linked to Chaucer in different ways - and this book reconsiders the centrality of 'the Chaucerian' as the defining lens through which we approach them.In so doing, it develops new ways of reading these late-medieval Franco-English verse translations, and redefines critical notions of 'the Chaucerian text'.
