2018br. Cesare De Lollis fu uno dei più importanti filologi romanzi italiani fra Otto e Novecento. Formatosi all'interno della scuola storica, visse in prima persona la crisi culturale e metodologica di inizio secolo, mettendo in discussione il metodo dei maestri e avvicinandosi all'estetica crociana. La sua concezione della filologia romanza lo portò a uscire dai confini del medioevo e a inoltrarsi nella modernità, con uno sguardo intrinsecamente comparato alle tradizioni letterarie dei paesi romanzi (Italia, Francia e Spagna in particolare). Il volume offre un'approfondita indagine sui più importanti campi di studio del filologo abruzzese, rintracciando continuità e discontinuità di un percorso critico complesso e variegato.
2017br. Il libro, chiaro e accessibile, si propone come nuovo manuale di riferimento per la filologia romanza, vale a dire la filologia delle lingue che hanno tratto origine dalla frantumazione e dalle trasformazioni del latino parlato nell'Impero romano. Nella prima parte si definisce l'oggetto di studio e si offrono i cenni indispensabili sull'origine e gli sviluppi della disciplina. La seconda parte presenta un quadro storico-linguistico dei cambiamenti avvenuti nel passaggio dal latino alle varietà romanze e descrive i sistemi delle lingue derivate. La terza parte, infine, è dedicata alla ricca letteratura romanza medievale di cui si offre al lettore una sintetica visione d'insieme.
2020br. Questa sintetica guida è un invito alla lettura del ciclo di prose cavalleresche noto come Lancillotto-Graal: la prima parte esplora la formazione della leggenda di re Artù e lo sviluppo di racconti indipendenti sul Graal, su Lancillotto e Merlino; nella seconda parte sono illustrate la struttura del ciclo in prosa e la sua trasmissione nei manoscritti, le principali tecniche narrative elaborate dagli anonimi prosatori, le questioni interpretative più salienti e, per finire, la fortuna del testo dal Medioevo ai giorni nostri.

Mackenzie's version of the German mediaeval classic was first published in 1860 as a Christmas volume, but stocks were swiftly exhausted and a second edition prepared to meet continuing demand. Mackenzie produced a lengthy additional preface to this second edition, attributing the success of the venture partly to 'the generous and unanimous verdict of the press' but also, surely, to the wonderful illustrations by 'Alfred Crowquill' (A.H. Forrester). Many would-be Christmas readers must have been disappointed for Mazkenzie dates his preface Christmas Eve, but scholars of mediaeval romance and fantasy will find this a most useful edition replete with extensive historical preface and bibliographical and other scholarly appendices. The US edition (T&F of Boston) of the same year is the first American edition of the tale in English. Scarce.
