The Fifteen Joys of Marriage by Brent A. Pitts Pdf

The Fifteen Joys of Marriage is a new translation of the .XV. Joies de Mariage, the ironic, enigmatic, and ostensibly misogynistic tract written ca. 1400. Like many Old French fabliaux, the Fifteen Joys takes for its subject the reversals, the woes, and the deceptions of the married state. By contrast with the fableors, however, the anonymous author of the Fifteen Joys arranges his domestic scenes in series, thus parodying a well known devotional work while incanting his litany of despair. The present work revives in medieval context a classic long out of print in English translation. For the text the translator adopts the burgeoning, colloquial manner of the original French, providing commentary in his Notes. The Introduction discusses the structure and principal themes of the Joys while surveying recent studies of the text. The Bibliography marks a starting point for further study.

Marriage and Sexuality in Medieval and Early Modern Iberia by Eukene Lacarra Lanz Pdf

First published in 2002. This fascinating collection of essays examines the politics of gender and desire in premodern Iberia. Eukene Lacarra Lanz brings together a group of noted specialists in Arabic, as well as Castilian, Catalan and other Romance languages, to investigate the changes that affected marriage and sexuality over the course of the millennium, from approximately 650 to 1650 A.D. The contributors utilise a variety of literary and philosophical texts, legal documents, and medical treatises to explore a broad range of topics, such as shrew-taming, wedding rituals, wet-nursing, cross-dressing, sodomy and moral pornography. The volume's interdisciplinary approach traces the origins and genealogies of the predominant discourses on these subjects that engaged the minds of medieval and premodern writers, moralists, politicians and scientists alike. Marriage and sexuality in Medieval and Early Modern Iberia offers a rich history and insightful analysis of some of the central themes of Hispanic literary and cultural life.

Saintly Women by Nancy Nienhuis,Beverly Mayne Kienzle Pdf

This ground-breaking volume assesses the contemporary epidemic of intimate partner violence and explores how and why cultural and religious beliefs serve to excuse battering and to work against survivors’ attempts to find safety. Theological interpretations of sacred texts have been used for centuries to justify or minimize violence against women. The authors recover historical and especially medieval narratives whose protagonists endure violence that is framed by religious texts or arguments. The medieval theological themes that redeem battering in saints’ lives—suffering, obedience, ownership and power—continue today in most religious traditions. This insightful book emphasizes Christian history and theology, but the authors signal contributions from interfaith studies to efforts against partner violence. Examining medieval attitudes and themes sharpens the readers’ understanding of contemporary violence against women. Analyzing both historical and contemporary narratives from a religious perspective grounds the unique approach of Nienhuis and Kienzle, one that forges a new path in grappling with partner violence. Medieval and contemporary narratives alike demonstrate that women in abusive relationships feel the burden of religious beliefs that enjoin wives to endure suffering and to maintain stable marriages. Religious leaders have reminded women of wives’ responsibility for obedience to husbands, even in the face of abuse. In some narratives, however, women create safe places for themselves. Moreover, some exemplary communities call upon religious belief to support their opposition to violence. Such models of historical resistance reveal precedents for response through intervention or protection.

A Critical Study of the Tragedies of Robert Garnier (1545-90) by John Holyoake Pdf

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.
