Abstract:

When Students of Western European Medieval Literature speak of the rise of the vernacular, they often do not mean what you might think they mean—neither the continued use of Latin as a written vernacular for over five hundred years after the fall of the Roman Empire nor the first texts in Celtic, Germanic, and Semitic languages, from the fourth to the tenth century. They mean something later and geographically narrower—the writing that emerges from the breakup of Latin into distinct regional speech patterns, the Romance languages and literatures, primarily in the territories of modern France,

This historiographical essay explores how scholars have analyzed depictions of the Crusades in literature.

The history of chem. literature, confined to the 20th century, written in a lesser-known language, Yiddish, is traced. The Yiddish language is a fusion language of medieval German dialect, some Slavic vocabulary and grammar, a Hebrew-Aramaic component, and even some words of Romance origins. This language is now considered endangered.

Abstract:

The Department of English at McGill University has recently lost two of its medievalists, one to early retirement and one to another institution (a decision made largely for personal reasons), and for several years has had no specialist in medieval drama. The Department now has only two full-time medievalists, with the result that its offerings in medieval literature have fallen off somewhat. A few years ago, the Department also made the effort to change all its courses to 3-credits. The 6-credit introductory course in Old English thereby fell away, as did student interest.

CHIVALRIC FRIENDSHIP IN FRENCH MEDIEVAL LITERATUREThe emergence in the Middle Ages of literature in the vernacular paralleled the emergence of the new, lay social elite — the chivalry. The new literature did not so much reflect as it shaped the attitudes and the axiological system embraced by medieval knights. This fact has been recognized by historians, however they seem to take atoo homogenic view of various narrative forms of vernacular literature. Thus, the article is an attempt to identify some crucial differences between how the two key literary genres of the times — chanson de geste an

Abstract:

In The Alchemist, Doll's faerie queen is frequently interpreted by critics as representative of Jonson's scepticism toward folkloric belief and superstition. The supernatural-monarch-come-prostitute who appears before Dapper the clerk is thought to be drawn from contemporary accounts of cozeners who would claim to be in contact with the faerie realm in order to part gullible patrons from their money. Jonson's faerie queen thus fits into wider critical discussions on the nature of faeries in Early Modern drama, in which faeries are frequently defined as deriving from rural and domestic folklori

Abstract:

ABSTRACT: This article studies three stages in the circulation of wisdom literature in Aragon and Castile in the later Middle Ages: 1) Origins: wisdom texts in romance were preceded by texts in Arabic, Hebrew and Latin. By the time these romance texts appeared there was a highly developed (in terms of aids for the reader) of florilegia in Latin which, often dependent on other florilegia, preserved a wide range of authors, both familiar and rare. 2) Manuscript context: a conspectus of the manuscripts in which the vernacular texts are found suggests that scribes (or perhaps rather editors) had a

The first decade of the nineteenth century saw an unprecedented number of publications of medieval romance in Britain, as a local manifestation of the recovery of vernacular literature taking place across Europe.

Drawing on contemporarycorrespondence, this article will use an instance of conflict and ill-humour to explore the mutually supportive collaborative networks that made

Abstract This paper examines the history of scholarship on medieval Slavonic religious literature. The bulk of these writings have been studied either by biblical scholars or by Slavicists under the name of “Slavonic Apocrypha.” The fifteenth century manuscript, Slav 29, typifies this scholarship. Slavonic translations of Hellenistic pseudepigrapha were used by textual critics for the reconstruction of biblical literature. Biblical scholars praise Slav 29 as the source of the best version of the Hellenistic romance, Joseph and Aseneth. Slavicists-medievalists celebrate it as the manuscript of

Abstract In the late fifteenth century, the arrival of the printing press in England transformed the late medieval literary scene. In this period, William Caxton, England’s first printer, cultivated a particular taste for the genre of romance amongst his audiences and attempted to establish an interconnected body of work. A close analysis of the prologues and epilogues to his prose romances reveals not only his efforts to draw explicit connections between several of these narratives but also provides glimpses into how his audience engaged with these highly popular texts.

The development of courtly lyric in Occitan courts during the eleventh and twelfth centuries is still a subject of study for literary criticism. Some of the essays that have dealt with this matter have linked the success of courtly lyric to its apparently innovative features, such as the exaltation of human love and the depiction of women in a position of power. However, this argument is less than convincing: on the one hand, it ignores the extraordinarily varied love casuistry in troubadour lyric; on the other hand, it obviates the presence of such literary motifs in previous and contemporary

Mirandese, a minority language spoken in north-eastern Portugal, has undergone significant shifts in vitality over the past century. First brought to scholarly attention by Portuguese philologist Leite de Vasconcelos in the late nineteenth century, Mirandese descends from Astur-Leonese, a medieval Romance variety of the Iberian Peninsula. Historically, it survived in a stable diglossic framework alongside Portuguese and Spanish, serving specific communicative roles within small and close-knit communities. However, by the mid-twentieth century, social stigma and the pressure of Portuguese disru

Abstract:

Sufism began as a movement in Indian literature during the medieval period. It was during this period that a number of Sufi poets began writing in the vernacular and a new genre known as the ‘Prema kahāni’ or love story was developed. This genre, written in Hindavi, was a major development in the field of Sufi romances and marks the beginning of a new movement in the literary and devotional culture of the regional language. One of the most important features of these romances is that they are replete with emotions of love and devotion towards God. Sufi writers express these emotions through wh

Abstract:

AbstractStarting from the deficiencies of current approaches regarding the description of the hero in medieval narratives, this article aims to functionalise exorbitance (unmâze) as a new category of literary history. Unlike the conceptual and binary typing of the protagonist as ‘hero’ resp. ‘knight’, this category promotes a flexible model that operates relationally and hence enables gradual differentiations between the texts.Examples of medieval (heroic) epic (‘Nibelungenlied’) and (chivalric) romance (‘Flore und Blanscheflur’, ‘Wigalois’) will show the narrative treatment and stylisation of

Abstract:

This essay explores how female characters in historical literature written in high to late medieval England shape land claims, political history, and genealogy through their acts of childbirth. Recent scholarship has shown how medieval writers frequently imagined virginal female bodies – religious and secular – in relation to land claim, but less work exists on how they also used the non-virginal bodies of mothers and vivid descriptions of childbirth to assert rights to land and lineage. This essay examines three birth stories associated with conquest or claims to contested lands from Geoffrey

Abstract:

The present article analyses intertextual references in David Lodge’s Small World. An Academic Romance (1984), focusing on allusions to the corpus of medieval and twentieth-century Arthuriana in the representation of women characters. An analysis of Arthurian allusions in the portrayal of women characters shows that Lodge introduces Arthurian women to his academic ‘Camelot’ in response to medieval and post-medieval literature about King Arthur and the Grail quest. In this respect, his representation of academic women in Small World is different from the way they are described in Lodge’s other

Abstract:

The pre-Islamic myth of Layla and Majnun influenced world literature, particularly troubadour poetry, with regard to “mad love” and “dying of love”. However, this theme also underlies the medieval romance Tristan and Isolde and, later, Shakespeare, in the play Romeo and Juliet. Some Portuguese authors have also expressed reminiscences of the myth of Layla and Majnun and of pure and eternal love in their works, among them Camões (in some of his poems), Camilo Castelo Branco, in Amor de Perdição and the traditional romance “José Pina e Maribela”. Furthermore, in love songs (and songs of friendsh

Abstract:

<em>La pérdida de don Beltrán</em> is one of the most iconic romances (traditional Spanish ballads) of the Carolingian cycle. It has been associated with an episode of the Battle of Roncevaux and is possibly derived from a <em>chanson de geste</em> circulating in oral tradition. It tells the story of an veteran solider that returns to the battlefield in search of his son’s body. The ballad was very popular during the 16th and the 17th centuries, transmitted orally and in manuscript and print sources. Moreover, many writers of that time made adaptations of or allusions to th

The phrase “medieval studies” is virtually meaningless at a small school such as Algoma University College. One faculty member out of the entire faculty complement of just over 30 is a specialist in a medieval discipline, Medieval English Literature (especially Chaucer), and though AUC does have a handful of courses on medieval topics on its books (e.g. History of Medieval Europe, Medieval Philosophy), the only ones offered regularly are the upper-year Chaucer courses. Courses in medieval drama and romance are on the books, but only the drama course has been offered, and only as a Directed Stu

Kurt Wais ( 1907-1995) would be 100 years old on 9 January 2007. He was Professor of Romance Philology and Comparative Literature at Tübingen University until his retirement in 1975. His immense erudition spanning several literatures and epochs equipped him well for pioneering work in Comparative Literature, of which he was the leading authority in Germany. Drawing on his "Nachlass" (private papers) now deposited with the renowned German Literature Archive in Marbach/Neckar, the author, a pupil of Kurt Wais, demonstrates how the precocious scholar, who had won international recognition at the
