  • Orpheusby Ann Wroe

    Random House 2011; US$ 20.01

    For at least two and a half millennia, the figure of Orpheus has haunted humanity. Half-man, half-god, musician, magician, theologian, poet and lover, his story never leaves us. He may be myth, but his lyre still sounds, entrancing everything that hears it: animals, trees, water, stones, and men. In this extraordinary work Ann Wroe goes in search... more...

  • Guibert of Nogentby Jay Rubenstein

    Taylor and Francis 2013; US$ 100.00

    This is a well written and valuable study of the life of a familiar but still somehow shadowy figure and an important contribution to medieval intellectual history, with insights into the meaning of the twelfth-century renaissance, the monastic mindset, the invention of psychological thought, the birth of the university, and the historiography of the... more...

  • Essays on the Art of Chaucer's Verseby Alan T. Gaylord

    Taylor and Francis 2013; US$ 130.00

    These fifteen essays, four of them commissioned for this volume, along with a discursive introduction which sets each essay into place and comments on its distinctive features, represent a gathering never before attempted: a symposium on Chaucer's craft that concentrates on his poetic forms, his rhythms, his riming, his versification, his prosody. more...

  • 'The Dream' of Bernat Metge / Del Somni d'en Bernat Metgeby Bernat Metge; Antonio Cortijo Ocaņa; Elisabeth Lagresa; Antonio Cortijo Ocaņa

    John Benjamins Publishing Company 2013; US$ 135.00

    Lo Somni (The Dream) is a dream allegory divided into four chapters or books. It was written ca. 1399 and is considered Bernat Metge?s best work.

It consists of a dialogue between Metge-the-character and several participants (in fact the book... more...

  • Maps and Monsters in Medieval Englandby Asa Simon Mittman

    CRC Press 2006; US$ 70.00

    This study centers on issues of marginality and monstrosity in medieval England. In the middle ages, geography was viewed as divinely ordered, so Britain's location at the periphery of the inhabitable world caused anxiety among its inhabitants. Far from the world's holy center, the geographic margins were considered monstrous. Medieval geography, for... more...
