Chaucer, Langland, and Fourteenth-Century Literary History (Paperback): Anne Middleton, edited by Steven Justice Chaucer, Langland, and Fourteenth-Century Literary History (Paperback)
Anne Middleton, edited by Steven Justice
R1,336 Discovery Miles 13 360 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Anne Middleton's essays have been among the most vigorous, learned, and influential in the field of medieval English literature. Their 'crux-busting' energies have illuminated local obscurities with generous learning lightly wielded. Their historically- and theoretically-informed meditations on the nature of poetic discourse traced how the generation of Chaucer and Langland devised a category of the literary that could embody a ethos of engaged, worldly consensus and make that consensus available to imaginative and rational consideration. And their reflections on the enterprise of literary study found a rational way, free of cant, to understand the work of the literary scholar. This volume reprints eight essays: 'The Idea of Public Poetry in the Reign of Richard II,' 'Chaucer's 'New Men' and the Good of Literature in the Canterbury Tales,' 'The Physician's Tale and Love's Martyrs: 'Ensamples Mo than Ten' as a Method in the Canterbury Tales,' 'The Clerk and His Tale: Some Literary Contexts,' 'Narration and the Invention of Experience: Episodic Form in Piers Plowman,' 'Making a Good End: John But as a Reader of Piers Plowman,' 'William Langland's 'Kynde Name': Authorial Signature and Social Identity in Late Fourteenth-Century England,' 'Life in the Margins, or, What's an Annotator to Do?' It includes one essay previously unpublished, 'Playing the Plowman: Legends of Fourteenth-Century Authorship.'

In Mother Stone Anne Middleton Wagner looks anew at the carvings of the first generation of British modernists, a group centered around Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, and Jacob Epstein. Wagner probes the work of these sculptors, discusses their shared avant-garde materialism, and identifies a common theme that runs through their work and that of other artists of the period: maternity. Why were artists for three turbulent decades after the First World War seemingly preoccupied with representations of pregnant women and the mother and child? Why was this the great new subject, especially for sculpture? Why was the imagery of bodily reproduction at the core of the effort to revitalize what in Britain had become a somnolent art? Wagner finds the answers to these questions at the intersection between the politics of maternity and sculptural innovation. She situates British sculpture fully within the new reality of "bio-power"-the realm of Marie Stopes, Brave New World, and Melanie Klein. And in a series of brilliant studies of key works, she offers a radical rereading of this sculpture's main concerns and formal language. Published for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art

A Room without Walls is a memoir detailing my life after being diagnosed with a series of mental disorders. The memoir's narrative is stream of consciousness and poetry. The audiences I hope to reach with this novel are those who have mental illness, addiction, and those who have loved ones afflicted with these conditions. I also hope to reach a young adult audience, with the intent to reduce some of the stigma associated with mental illness. Other novels that have been published on the subject are Prozac Nation, I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, and Girl Interrupted.

A House Divided - American Art since 1955 (Paperback): Anne Middleton Wagner A House Divided - American Art since 1955 (Paperback)

In this exhilarating book, Anne Middleton Wagner challenges readers to rethink the work of a range of post-World War II artists - Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Maya Lin, Bruce Nauman, and Agnes Martin among them - and thus to re-assess the relationship of art to politics and social life. The art of U.S. empire, she argues, is marked by deep dividedness. Painters and sculptors seemed entranced by American symbols, yet used them to enigmatic ends - exuberant, nightmarish, or both. Nor could postwar culture decide if it preserved sites devoted to productive withdrawal - for artists, the special zone called the studio - or simply maintained a margin where numbed subjects rehearsed the rites of vanished self-expression. This book charts the to-and-fro in recent American art between acknowledging the facts of nation and consumerism, and searching for meaningful models. And it shows that this process engages - even structures - national history and the citizen's self.
