R1,219 Discovery Miles 12 190 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

New research into medieval English literature, with a particular focus on manuscripts and writing. This acclaimed study of English medieval manuscripts and early printed books - many items from Professor Takamiya's own collection - quickly sold out in hardcover. The subjects range from Saint Jerome to Tolkien, with particular concentrations on Chaucer, Gower, Malory and religious and historical writings of the late middle ages. There are essays examining the work of early printers such as Caxton and de Worde, and of bibliophiles and antiquarians in modern times. Befitting a tribute to a bibliophile, this volume has been handsomely designed by Lida Kindersley of the Cardozo Kindersley Workshop in Cambridge, and is extensively illustrated. The volume as a whole constitutes a substantial body of research on medieval English literature, and early books and manuscripts. Contributors: Richard Barber, Nicolas Barker, Richard Beadle, N.F.

Joan of Arc and Spirituality (Hardcover, 2004 ed.): Bonnie Wheeler, A. Astell Joan of Arc and Spirituality (Hardcover, 2004 ed.)
Bonnie Wheeler, A. Astell
R1,481 Discovery Miles 14 810 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Joan of Arc is an unusual saint. Canonized in 1920 as a virgin, she died in 1431 as a condemned heretic. Uneducated, militant, and youthful, she obeyed "Voices" that counseled her to pursue an unprecedented vocation. The various trial records provide a wealth of evidence about how Joan and others understood her spiritual life. This collection explores multiple facets of Joan's prayerful life. Two-thirds of the essays focus on Joan in her own time; the later chapters study Joan's formative influence upon modern women. Taken together, these essays offer new perspectives on the heroism of Joan's original way of sanctity.

Fresh Verdicts on Joan of Arc (Paperback): Bonnie Wheeler, Charles T. Wood Fresh Verdicts on Joan of Arc (Paperback)
Bonnie Wheeler, Charles T. Wood
R1,396 Discovery Miles 13 960 Ships in 12 - 17 working days


Joan of Arc has long piqued the historical imagination, for it seems impossible that a peasant-maid could have led the French army, crowned her king, and then been burned as a heretic, only later to be found a saint. This volume of original essays employs the latest tools of historical analysis, literary criticism, and feminist inquiry to reveal why veterans of her military campaigns found her to have been a remarkable commander; why so many of her contemporaries, churchman and poets alike, found it possible to accept the validity of her mission and her voices; why modern politicians and artists have used her as a symbol; and why the Catholic Church finally decided to canonize her in 1920.

Medieval Mothering (Paperback): Bonnie Wheeler Medieval Mothering (Paperback)
Bonnie Wheeler
R1,237 Discovery Miles 12 370 Ships in 12 - 17 working days


In 19 original essays, this study offers a broad range of approaches to medieval society's understanding of mothering and the uses to which the practice and imagery of mothering could be assumed by females and males alike. The study also focuses on representations of motherhood in Old Norse and Icelandic literatures, and on record evidence for the maternal behaviour of actual mothers in medieval France, England and Spain.

Bonnie Wheeler, Robert L. Kindrick, Michael Salda
R2,984 Discovery Miles 29 840 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Seminal essays on one of the most crucial issues in Arthurian studies. For the past fifty years, debates about which text of Malory scholars and teachers should prefer have sparked much controversy: which is the most authentic or authoritative, Caxton, the Winchester version, or a mixture of both (asproposed by Vinaver)? The papers in this volume represent the most important contributions to the dialogue; previously published articles have been updated where relevant and new issues are presented in several original essays, while the introductions place the argument in its theoretical and historical contexts. Professor BONNIE WHEELER teaches at the Southern Methodist University; Professor MICHAEL SALDA teaches at the University of SouthernMississippi; Professor ROBERT KINDRICK teaches at the University of Montana. Contributors: MICHAEL N. SALDA, KEVIN GRIMM, SHUNICHI NOGUCHI, CHARLES MOORMAN, P.J.C. FIELD, WILLIAM MATTHEWS, ROBERT KINDRICK, HELEN COOPER, TOSHIYUKI TAKAMIYA, YUJI NAKAO, NORMAN BLAKE

Bonnie Wheeler
R1,671 Discovery Miles 16 710 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The essays in this volume have a common theme and preoccupation: an intention to present medieval women - in life, literature, hagiography and art - as they thought of themselves, teased from the work of theirintermediaries (Hildegard of Bingen, Christine of Pisan) or from the works, words and social milieux of men (Chaucer's women, Chretien's patrons, the empress Theodora and others). Feminea Mediaevalia is designed to foreground feminine and feminist topics and issues in the field of medieval studies. Contributors: DEBORAH EVERHART, STEPHEN STALLCUP, JENNIFER R.
