This important book distils the essence of developmental
Transactional Analysis (TA) frameworks that are most useful to
bring alive professional coaching competencies. Karen Pratt offers
clear outlines of TA frameworks as well as describing how they are
applied in coaching, with snippets of coaching conversations as
illustrations of the theory in practice. Pratt highlights key TA
frameworks in enough detail to be easily grasped but with a focus
on application in coaching and other developmental conversations. A
TA approach powerfully guides coaches in their listening and
questioning. TA is not used as a coaching 'technique' - it offers
psychological understanding of human beings and the meaning they
make of who they are in the world. Such awareness is key for both
professionals and clients in meaningful partnerships for
development. Transactional Analysis Coaching will be key reading
for professionals working within present-centered contracts for
change - coaches, trainers, facilitators, supervisors, teachers,
mentors and managers - seeking to understand how TA can impact
their development. It will be of great interest to coaches in
training and will provide a useful resource for clients in their
ongoing development.

The image, status and function of queens and empresses, regnant and
consort, in kingdoms stretching from England to Jerusalem in the
European middle ages. Did queens exercise real or counterfeit
power? Did the promotion of the cult of the Virgin enhance or
restrict their sphere of action? Is it time to revise the early
feminist view of women as victims? Important papers on Emma of
England, Margaret of Scotland, coronation and burial ritual,
Byzantine empresses and Scandinavian queens, among others, clearly
indicate that a reassessment of the role of women in the world of
medieval dynastic politics is under way. Contributors: JANOS BAK,

Charles the king, our emperor great, Has been a full seven years in
Spain. As far as the sea he conquered this haughty land. Not a
single castle remains standing in his path Charlemagne (768-814)
was crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 800 and presided over a huge
empire. He frequently appears in literature as a great warlord and
pious crusading figure. In 778, the rearguard of Charlemagne's
retreating army was ambushed and defeated at the battle of
Roncevaux. This became the inspiration for songs and poems
celebrating deeds of valour in the face of overwhelming odds,
through the character of Charlemagne's nephew (the imaginary)
Roland. The Song of Roland is the most stirring and moving epic
poem of the European Middle Ages, offering a particularly heady
mixture of history, legend, and poetry. Presented here in a lively
and idiomatic new translation, the Song of Roland offers
fascinating insights into medieval ideas about heroism, manhood,
religion, race, and nationhood which were foundational for modern
European culture. The Song of Roland is accompanied here by two
other medieval French epics about Charlemagne, both of which show
him to be a far more equivocal figure than that portrayed by the
Roland: the Occitan Daurel and Beton, in which he is a corrupt and
avaricious monarch; and the Journey of Charlemagne to Jerusalem and
Constantinople, which gives the heroes of the Roland a comic
makeover.
This major reference work is the fourth volume in the series
"Arthurian Literature in the Middle Ages". Its intention is to
update the French and Occitan chapters in R.S. Loomis' "Arthurian
Literature in the Middle Ages: A Collaborative History" (Oxford,
1959) and to provide a volume which will serve the needs of
students and scholars of Arthurian literature. The principal focus
is the production, dissemination and evolution of Arthurian
material in French and Occitan from the twelfth to the fifteenth
century. Beginning with a substantial overview of Arthurian
manuscripts, the volume covers writing in both verse (Wace, the
Tristan legend, Chretien de Troyes and the Grail Continuations,
Marie de France and the anonymous lays, the lesser known romances)
and prose (the Vulgate Cycle, the prose Tristan, the Post-Vulgate
Roman du Graal, etc.).
This sourcebook of texts in modern translation makes accessible key anti-feminist works, together with a surprising range of early texts championing women.
