‎THE POLITICS OF PEARL; Court Poetry in the Age of Richard II‎

‎D. S. Brewer. 2000. Hardcover. Good in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Ex-library copy with usual stamps call numbers and pocket. 'Write-off' has been stamped to top of textblock. Book appears unread. Very light shelfwear.; 0.63 x 9.21 x 6.14 Inches; 264 pages; This is an entirely new and original reading of 'Pearl' placing the anonymous masterpiece in the context of the Cheshire coterie that flourished at the court of Richard II during the 1390s. The brilliance of its poetic construction has long been acknowledged but here 'Pearl' is also shown to engage with the social religious and political events of the late fourteenth century. The poem's defense of infant baptism is seen as countering Lollard criticism of the sacraments its retelling of the Parable of the Vineyard as offering scriptural support to the aims of the Statute of Labourers. The poem's dazzling representation of aristocratic magnificence - jewelled crowns gem-embroidered gowns livery badges civic processions and monumental architecture - studied in this context relates to the spectacular royal culture of one of England's most ambitious monarchs. The courtly elegy offered consolation after the death of Anne of Bohemia while its vision of a royal child-bride figured in the intense national debate over the king's prospective marriage to the six-year-old Isabelle of France. Richard II's fall from power brought to an end not simply Cheshire privilege but also a poetic tradition that produced some of the finest works of English literature most notably 'Pearl' and 'Gawain and the Green Knight'. . 0859915999 .

‎FROM GOOD GODDESS TO VESTAL VIRGINS; Sex and Category in Roman Religion‎

‎Routledge. 1998. Hardcover. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Very minor edgewear to top corners of DJ else Fine.; 0.79 x 8.43 x 5.67 Inches; 207 pages; The role of women in Roman culture and society was a paradoxical one. They enjoyed social material and financial independence yet they were denied basic constitutional rights. Although Roman history is not short of powerful female figures such as Agrippina and Livia their power stemmed from their associations with great men and was not officially recognized. Ariadne Staples' book examines how women in Rome were perceived both by themselves and by men through women's participation in Roman religion as Roman religious ritual provided the single public arena where women played a significant formal role. From Good Goddess to Vestal Virgins argues that the ritual roles played out by women were vital in defining them sexually and that these sexually defined categories spilled over into other aspects of Roman culture including political activity. Staples provides an arresting and original analysis of the role of women in Roman society which challenges traditionally held views and provokes further questions. . 0415132339 .

Dustjacket is protected in plastic.; Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries 11; 262 pages; An exhaustive study of Claudian's unfinished mythological epic with a text apparatus criticus and commentary. The long introduction begins with a catalogue of manuscripts; and this leads to an investigation into the manuscript tradition and the history of the poem's transmission. Dr Hall then surveys the most important printed editions of the poem. He examines various theories of dating and discusses the sources of the story. He concludes the introduction with a brief critical assessment of the form and style of the poem. Dr Hall establishes his text after an examination of all the extant manuscripts. The apparatus though very full is selective in that it records readings of younger manuscripts only when they offer something new. It also ignores trifling corruptions. The commentary is similarly selective. In general it discusses everything relevant to the establishing of the text and ignores points of purely mythological and literary interest. . 0521074428 .

Denn in der Bewegungsrichtung allein der Gestalten schon liegt etwas was außer J. D. Beazley eigentlich niemand in unserer Wissenschaft gesehen hat.

‎The University of North Carolina Press. 1994. Hardcover. Fine in Fine dust jacket. Dustjacket is protected in mylar.; 1.12 x 9.55 x 6.44 Inches; 316 pages; C. F. Konrad provides the first book-length commentary on Plutarch's Life of Sertorius the work that has shaped most modern interpretations of the man and his career. Quintus Sertorius 126-73 B. C. was a political and military leader during the period of turmoil that ended with the Roman Republic's disintegration just thirty years after his death. A major figure on the losing side in the first civil war 87-82 B. C. he went to Spain to continue the struggle against the ruling senatorial faction with the help of Roman exiles and the native population. His military skill was much admired but his increasingly despotic behavior combined with failing luck in the field eventually prompted Sertorius' assassination by his Roman staff. One of Plutarch's most austere biographies Sertoriuslacks the rich color and wealth of anecdote characteristic of his Antony or Perikles yet it is unsurpassed in its seemingly unbounded sympathy for its subject and is the most substantial source extant on Sertorius. By analyzing Plutarch's method and purpose Konrad develops a more critical and less eulogistic view of Sertorius' character and his actions during this period. The Greek text of Plutarch's biography is included in this book. . 080782139X . The University of North Carolina Press hardcover‎

Laminated cover.; 2002 Oxford reprint of 1985 Edition; Oxford Historical Monographs; 1.1 x 8.84 x 5.9 Inches; 300 pages; European history from 1480 to 1570 was a period of turbulent change political upheaval profound moral questioning and urgent philosophical speculation. This book explores the intriguing role of the almost-forgotten Congregation of Benedictine monks of Italy and southern France in the events of these tumultuous years. From archival and published records the picture emerges of a closely-knit order of humanist scholars whose religious and philosophical studies later put them in a unique position to understand the Reformers. The book also casts light on the monks' fascinating reaction to the Reformation as they poured out a stream of academic books tracts sermons and poems in their attempt to heal the deepening rift between Rome and the Reformers. Critized and misunderstood by all sides the Congregation gradually fell into decline until it was finally suppressed under the Napoleanic invasions. . 0198229348 . Oxford University Press hardcover‎
