inclusive of work across the theoretical, archival, philological,
and historicist methodologies associated with medieval literary

this volume engage with real and metaphorical relations between
humans and nonhumans, with particular focus on spiders, hawks, and
demons; discuss some of the earliest Middle English musical and, it
is argued, liturgical compositions; describe the generic
flexibility and literariness of medical discourse;consider
strategies of affective and practical devotion, and their roles in
building a community; and offer an example of the creativity of
fifteenth-century vernacular religious literature. Texts discussed
include the Old English riddles and Alfredian translations of the
psalms; the lives of saints Dunstan, Godric, and Juliana, in Latin
and English; Piers Plowman, in fascinating juxtaposition with Hugh
of Fouilloy's Aviarium; medical remedybooks and uroscopies, many
from unedited manuscripts; and the fifteenth-century English Life
of Job. LAURA ASHE is Professor of English at the University of

early readers' casual annotations. Texts discussed include Beowulf,
works by Rolle, Chaucer, Langland, Gower, and Lydgate; lyrics of
the Occitan troubadour Marcabru and the French poet Richard de

An examination of how The Book of Psalms shaped medieval thought
and helped develop the medieval English literary canon. The Book of
Psalms had a profound impact on English literature from the
Anglo-Saxon to the late medieval period. This collection examines
the various ways in which they shaped medieval English thought and
contributed to the emergence of an English literary canon. It
brings into dialogue experts on both Old and Middle English
literature, thus breaking down the traditional disciplinary
binaries of both pre- and post-Conquest English and late medieval
and Early Modern, as well as emphasizing the complex and
fascinating relationship between Latin and the vernacular languages
of England. Its three main themes, translation, adaptation and
voice, enable a rich variety of perspectives on the Psalms and
medieval English literature to emerge. TAMARA ATKIN is Senior
Lecturer in Late Medieval and Early Renaissance Literature at Queen
Mary University of London; FRANCIS LENEGHAN is Associate Professor

The book begins with a brief prefatory discussion of its relation
to structuralist and post-structuralist criticism. The first
chapter, Apocryphal Voices', surveys the basis of modern critical
approaches to l>personal> and irony' in Chaucer's poetry, and
suggests that such approaches are better suited to unequivocally
written contexts. A systematic hesitation between a wholly written
and a wholly spoken context requires critical distinctions between
types of l>persona/l>, and a number of distinctions in the
range between l>persona/l> and voice. Morality in its
Context' examines the Pardoner and his tale and argues against a
dramatic' view of the tale itself, while the third chapter,
'Chaucer's Development of l>Persona/l>', is a study of
possible sources for Chaucer's handling of the narratorial '1',
looking at the English l>disour/l>', the French l>dits
amoureux/l>', Italian and Latin sources of influence, and the
l>Roman de la Rose/l>. The last two chapters apply the
principles outlined so far to l>Troilus/l> and l>The
Canterbury Tales/l>, with a particular examination of the
literary history of the Squire's tale to show that modern interest
in dramatic l>persona/l> has obscured many other important
issues and leads to drastic misreading. This is a challenging and
lucid work which questions many of the received attitudes of recent
Chaucer criticism, and offers a reasoned and approachable
alternative view.

New Medieval Literatures is an annual containing the best new interdisciplinary work in medieval textual cultures.
New Medieval Literatures is an annual containing the best new interdisciplinary work in medieval textual cultures. Volume 3 combines important work by established scholars with the results of the editors' quest for major new voices, including the prizewinning essay in their first competition for younger scholars. The themes of the volume are the production of knowledge and text, cultural change and exchange, from early medieval China to fifteenth-century England. There are also paired and contrasting essays on Dante and on Langland. The volume ends with Sarah Kay's important survey of modern medievalist scholarship, the New Philology.
New Medieval Literatures is a new annual of work on the textual cultures of medieval Europe and beyond. The focus of Volume 2 is on continental European literatures as well as Anglo-Norman and Anglo-Latin writings, in addition to exemplification of work on earlier periods. The essays in Volume 2 move from the streets of Paris, London, and English market towns to English monasteries, idealized pastoral spaces, Christian-Jewish-Muslim Spain, Rome, and fourteenth-century Oxford. The essays cohere around three important issues of cultural analysis: gender, space, and reading history.
"Il trovatore," the middle opera of Verdi's famous "trilogy" of the
1850s (with "Rigoletto" and "La traviata"), is the sixth work to be
published in "The Works of Giuseppe Verdi," Based on Verdi's
autograph score and an examination of important secondary sources
including contemporary manuscript copies and performing parts, the
edition identifies and resolves numerous ambiguities of harmony,
melodic detail, text, and phrasing that have marred previous
scores. Scholars and performers alike will find a wealth of
information in the critical apparatus to inform their research and
interpretations.
The lengthy introduction to the score discusses the work's genesis,
sources, and performance history as well as issues of instrumental
and vocal performance practice, production and staging, and
problems of notation. As an added feature of the introduction is an
original study by Carlos Matteo Mossa of the creation of the
libretto, based on the original draft and numerous other autograph
documents.
Verdi had a special fondness for "Macbeth," and the first version
of his opera based on Shakespeare's play is arguably the most
important work of his formative years. But dissatisfied with the
work of his librettist, Francesco Maria Piave, Verdi reworked the
text himself and lavished the score with particular attention. The
premiere in Florence in 1847 was a great success, but for the Paris
premiere in 1865, Verdi made substantial changes, adding dances and
an entirely new aria, duet, chorus, and death scene. Clearly, he
intended that "Macbeth II" supersede the earlier version, and today
the "Paris" version is the one generally performed.
Published in three volumes, this critical edition of "Macbeth" is
the only one based entirely on autograph sources. Containing the
later version as the principal score, it is the first edition to
consult the composer's manuscripts of the revised pieces, preserved
at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. An appendix contains the
earlier movements, and David Lawton provides a wide-ranging
introduction to the opera's complex history. This critical edition
of "Macbeth" includes here for the first time Verdi's preferred
text--the version he set to music--as well as his own stage
directions and thus offers the most vivid and dramatic reading to
date.
