An invigorating annual for those who are interested in medieval
textual cultures and open to ways in which diverse post-modern
methodologies may be applied to them. Alcuin Blamires, Review of
English Studies New Medieval Literatures - now published by Boydell
and Brewer - is an annual of work on medieval textual cultures,
aiming to engage with intellectual and cultural pluralism in the
Middle Ages and now. Its scope is inclusive of work across the
theoretical, archival, philological, and historicist methodologies
associated with medieval literary studies, and embraces both the
British Isles and Europe. Topics in this volume include the
political ecology of Havelok the Dane: Thomas Hoccleve and the
making of "Chaucer"; and Britain and the Welsh Marches in Fouke le
Fitz Waryn. Contributors: Alexis Kellner Becker, Emily Dolmans,
Marcel Elias, PhilipKnox, Sebastian Langdell, Jonathan Morton,
Marco Nievergelt, George Younge.
The stirring tale of a legendary royal family's fall and ultimate
redemption, the Theban trilogy endures as the crowning achievement
of Greek drama. Sophocles' 3-play cycle, chronicling Oedipus's
search for the truth and its tragic results, remains essential
reading for English and classical studies majors as well as for all
students of Western civilization.
Essays on the writing and textual culture of Europe in the middle
ages. Medieval Europe was characterized by a sophisticated market
for the production, exchange and sale of written texts. This volume
brings together papers on a range of topics, centred on manuscript
studies and textual criticism, which explore these issues from a
pan-European perspective. They examine the prolonged and varied
processes through which Europe's different parts entered into
modern reading, writing and communicative practices, drawing on a
range ofapproaches and perspectives; they consider material
culture, multilingualism in texts and books, book history, readers,
audience and scribes across the Middle Ages. Dr Aidan Conti teaches
in the Department of Linguistic, Literary and Aesthetic Studies,
University of Bergen; Dr Orietta Da Rold teaches in the Faculty of
English, University of Cambridge; Dr Philip Shaw teaches at the
School of English, University of Leicester. Contributors: Rolf H.
Bremmer Jr, Stewart Brookes, Aidan Conti, Orietta Da Rold, Helen
Fulton, Marilena Maniaci, Debora Matos, Annina Seiler, Peter A.
Stokes, Nadia Togni, Svetlana Tsonkova, Matilda Watson, George
Younge.
Over sessions which lasted two to three hours each time, every week
for half a year, George Yeo met and mused over a wide range of
topics with writer Woon Tai Ho and research assistant Keith Yap.
Speaking from notes, he began with himself and his hope for
Singapore, and then spanned over a wide range of subjects — from
the importance of human diversity and Singapore's reflection within
itself of the world, to history, politics, economics, philosophy,
taijigong and religion. He gives his views on India, China, ASEAN,
Europe, the US and other parts of the world, and how Singapore's
history and destiny are connected to all of them. The style is
conversational and anecdotal.George Yeo: Musings is exactly that
— musings. Some themes recur throughout the book which reflect
his view of life. But there is no grand theory. He does not expect
all of his reflections to be of interest to everyone, but he hopes
that everyone will find something of interest.This is the third of
a three-part series.
