Since its founding in 1943, Medievalia et Humanistica has won
worldwide recognition as the first scholarly publication in America
to devote itself entirely to medieval and Renaissance studies.
Since 1970, a new series, sponsored by the Modern Language
Association of America and edited by an international board of
distinguished scholars and critics, has published interdisciplinary
articles. In yearly hardbound volumes, the new series publishes
significant scholarship, criticism, and reviews treating all facets
of medieval and Renaissance culture: history, art, literature,
music, science, law, economics, and philosophy. Volume thirty-one
in the new series contains six original and refereed articles that
represent a reengagement with history. They focus on a variety of
topics, ranging from reception theory in Andreas Capellanus and the
ideal sovereign in Christine de Pizan to peasant rebel leaders in
late-medieval and early-modern Europe. Don Monson's article makes
good usage of Jauss's reception theory and analyzes the third
Dialogue of Book I, Chapter 6 of De Amore in a thorough and
intelligent way. Important aspects of the relationship between
"scientific" Latin treaties and Provencal courtly poetry are neatly
demonstrated. Karen Gross examines structural and thematic
resemblances between the Aeneid and De Casibus, arguing that
Anchises' "pageant of future Roman worthies" (Aen. VI) is connected
to the frame structure of De casibus. The author is interested in
"global similarities, not local verbal echoes," and believes that
the "structure resonances" have implications for "how Boccaccio
understood the interaction between history and poetry, between the
living and the dead." Especially thought-provoking and original are
the discussion of the motif of father/son piety and commemoration
and the contrast of Virgil's fortuna in Roman history and
Boccaccio's in world history. Daisy Delogu's article on Christine
de Pizan is a timely one, and also represents reengagement with
history th
This book explores how educational institutions have failed to
recognize and effectively address the symptoms of trauma in
students of all ages. Given the prevalence of traumatic events in
our world, Gross argues that it is time for educational
institutions and those who work within them to change their
approaches and responses to traumatic symptoms that manifest in
students in schools and colleges. These changes can alter how and
what we teach, how we train teachers, how we structure our
calendars and create our schedules, how we address student behavior
and disciplinary issues, and how we design our physical space.
Drawing on real-life examples and scenarios that will be familiar
to educators, this resource provides concrete suggestions to assist
institutions in becoming trauma-responsive environments, including
replicable macro and micro changes.Book Features: Focuses on trauma
within the early childhood–adult educational pipeline. Explains
how trauma is often cumulative, with recent traumatic events often
triggering a revival of traumatic symptomology from decades ago.
Provides clarifications of currently used terms and scoring systems
and offers new and alternative approaches to identifying and
remediating trauma. Includes visual images to augment the
descriptions in the text.

In 1996 a record one million-plus bankruptcy cases were filed in
the United States. In this important book, an eminent legal
authority provides an accessible introduction to and evaluation of
the federal bankruptcy system governing these filings. Karen Gross
describes existing bankruptcy law, assesses what is actually
happening in practice, and makes specific-and
controversial-recommendations for reform. Gross explores the
varying and often conflicting interests of debtors, creditors, and
community in the bankruptcy system. She justifies the idea of a
"fresh start" for individual and business debtors by analyzing
notions of forgiveness and rehabilitation in a civilized society.
She offers a new perspective on how to treat certain of the
creditors that bankruptcy touches, substituting a principle of
equality of outcome for the principle of equality of treatment. She
also presents an original argument about community interests,
contending that they should be given serious weight in the
necessary balancings that make up bankruptcy law and policy, and
provides specific statutory amendments to achieve this goal.
Offering a humanitarian approach to bankruptcy rather than the law
and economic approach commonly used, this book places legal issues
of bankruptcy in their social context and opens the dialogue about
bankruptcy to lawyers and nonlawyers alike.
