‎Old English Poetry from Manuscript to Message‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, xviii + 398 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, 14 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503600314.‎

‎Summary By comparison with Latin Europe, Anglo-Saxon civilization is notable for the amount of literature preserved in contemporary manuscripts in the vernacular language, formerly called ?Anglo-Saxon' but now more usually called ?Old English'. This literature includes some remarkable poetry, which is the subject of the present collection of essays. Some of the earliest poems may well have been written at a time when northern England held the intellectual leadership of Europe. The approach is holistic, investigating important issues in the manuscripts that affect the integrity of the texts to be studied or the way they relate to each other, examining metrical issues that affect the way the poems are appreciated for their compositional skill, studying particular textual problems that require elucidation or even emendation to make the meaning clear, and finally offering readings of particular poems focussing on themes that are central to Old English poetry. A postscript examines Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky, which is presented as a ?Stanza of Anglo-Saxon Poetry'. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Section A: Manuscripts Foreword 1. The Place of Judith in the Beowulf-Manuscript 2. The Vercelli Book Revisited 3. The Structure of the Junius Manuscript, with a Survey of Places of Possible Loss 4.

‎M: The Man Who Became Caravaggio‎

‎Hardcover, 571 pages, ENG, 240 x 170 x 48 mm, dustjacket, in very good condition, with some b/w illustrations, red/black linen with golden imprint, . ISBN 9780805063561. The short, violent life of Michelangelo Merisi -- sometimes called simply M, and known to us as Caravaggio -- changed art forever. In the words of Robert Hughes, 'There was art before him and art after him, and they were not the same.' M threw out accepted technique and dogma to paint from life with dazzling clarity. In the process he laid bare his own sexual longings and the brutal realities of life with shocking frankness. M: The Man Who Became Caravaggio is strikingly different from the usual artist's life: The Times Literary Supplement writes, 'Its hero is wholly, richly alive.' With 'tremendous vigor, dash and swagger' Peter Robb evokes the seething and dangerous world of Italy at the end of the sixteenth century. Caravaggio is seen as a provocateur to a culture riven by the Inquisition and the Counter-Reformation, a background of ideological cold war against which, despite all odds and at great cost to their creators, brilliant feats of art and science were achieved. M was imprisoned for criminal libel and saw his work rejected by Roman churches. A savage street fight nearly killed him and left his enemy bleeding to death. Later, with a price on his head, Caravaggio fled south to Naples and beyond, where he experienced four years of creative triumph and personal catastrophe. After being jailed in Malta for an unnamed crime, and pursued by killers through Sicily and Naples, he disappeared in the summer of 1610. Refuting standard accounts, Robb presents Caravaggio's death in a gripping scenario of sexual vendetta, betrayal, ambush and state collusion -- a startling conclusion to a groundbreaking book.‎
