Syme, Sir Ronald
AMMIANUS AND THE HISTORIA AUGUSTA
Book has very light shelfwear. Minor foxing to top of textblock. DJ spine browned with light edgewear (a couple of tiny chips). ; Sir Ronald Syme gives us a highly entertaining characterization of the author and his work, together with a sketch of the literary, social and religious context. By comparing it with the Historiae of Ammianus Marcellinus he puts the probable publication date between 392 and 395. For Sir Ronald Syme, it is a historical fiction about gods and bad emperors. The author chose to pass himself off as six biographers. He invented a whole school of precursors as rivals to cite, to confute, to mock and to expose. ; 313 pages

CHAUCER'S HOUSE OF FAME The Poetics of Skeptical Fideism
Dustjacket has shelf wear and minor soiling covered in mylar. ; Author examines Chaucer's unfinished and puzzling work House of Fame, and finds its author struggling to establish a rhetorical and intellectual stance for the artist that can accomodate traditional material while reserving a skeptical attitude toward it. Skeptical Fideism is rooted and reflected in the work of thirteenth and fourteenth century philosophers such as Boetius, Siger of Barbant, William of Ockam and others. ; 134 pages

Edwards, Robert R.
ART AND CONTEXT IN LATE MEDIEVAL ENGLISH NARRATIVE Essays in Honor of Robert Worth Frank, Jr.
Dustjacket is protected in mylar. Moderate bump to top of spine of both DJ and book. Otherwise this would be NF; A collection of essays offering original arguments in a number of areas. Papers cluster around two topics: the writing of Langland and Chaucer, and writing as historical process. These reflect Frank's own wide-ranging work. The papers contain a refreshing ideological diversity while maintaining coherence of intellectual concerns. There is a discussion of the working of memory in The Knights Tale. On debt, on Langland's Christology and on revelry, some very interesting ideas are put foward. In addition, literary contexts for the two major poets are usefully and thoroughly mapped out, and three papers illustrate how historical events and processes may be perceived in stimulatingly different ways. Included is an introduction from the editor and bibliography of Robert Worth Frank, Jnr. Contributors: ELIZABETH KIRK, C. DAVID BENSON, ANNA BALDWIN, M. TERESA TAVORMINA, MONICA McALPINE, MARY CARRUTHERS, KATHRYN L. LYNCH, CAROLYN P. COLLETTE, MARY HAMEL, PAUL STROHM, THOMAS J. HEFFERMAN, PEGGY KNAPP; 219 pages

AMPLIFICATION AS GLOSS IN TWO TWELFTH-CENTURY TEXTS Robert De Boron's Joseph D'Arimathie and Renaut De Beaujeu's LI Biaus Descouneus
Appears unread. Inner cover is date-stamped, otherwise as New condition. ; Where does a literary text originate and how is it formed? This book focuses on the author as the motivating agent of the text. It is conducted with reference to two texts from the end of the twelfth century in which the material selected by the author operates as the vehicle for the central ideas. The structure and amplification of the material bring the author's intention to the fore, clarifying and enhancing the initial conception of the work. Far from being a contrived and artificial framework, fiction is defined as a craft which organizes and glosses material, creating unity through authorial perspective. ; Studies in the Humanities: Literature-Politics-Society; Vol. 59

LITERATURE AS RECREATION IN THE LATER MIDDLE AGES
Dustjacket is protected in mylar. Light soiling to DJ. Book is very slightly edgeworn. ; Although intended principally as a contribution to the history of medieval literary theory and criticism, the book makes use of medical, psychological, and sociological insights that lead to a fuller understanding of late medieval secular attitudes. It will appeal to specialists in medieval literature or history of literary criticism, historians of medicine, and students of late medieval culture. Treats works such as: Boccaccio's Decameron and Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, as well as others. ; 248 pages

FIGURES OF LIFE AND DEATH IN MEDIEVAL ENGLISH LITERATURE
Dustjacket is protected in mylar. Ex-library copy with usual stamps, call numbers and pocket. ; 245 pages; Most studies of medieval literature concentrate on writers or genres. Here, for the first time, the figures themselves are studied as a coherent group. Each figure is explored first in the minor works of literature, whether lyric, drama, romance, or sermon, and then in its fulfilment in the genius of Chaucer, Langland, and the Gawain-poet.

Anderson, George Kumler
LITERATURE OF THE ANGLO-SAXONS
Ex-library copy with usual stamps, call numbers and pocket. ; 431 pages; Anderson provides in this single volume a descriptive history of the entire canon of Old English literature, from its beginnings to the Norman Conquest. The emphasis throughout is more on literature than on linguistics, and readings from Anglo-Saxon writings are quoted extensively, mainly in Anderson's own translations. The extensive notes at the end of each chapter constitute a critical review of published research up to the time of writing.
