Mary of Nemmegen, a prose condensation in English of the Middle Dutch play Mariken van Nieumeghen, is an important example of the literature that was imported from Holland in the early part of the sixteenth century. It also may be compared to Everyman, described as a treatise "in the manner of a moral play." Mary of Nemmegen is an analogue of the Faustus story. As such, it is also a window on the obsession in its own time with the occult.

Milman Parrys comparative study of Homer and Southslavic oral song had demonstrated the existence of an oral tradition behind and within the Homeric Epic, thus establishing an indisputable link between Homer and oral poetry. Yet its exact nature has remained a moot point. For equally indisputable is the fact of the coexistence of oral and literate features within the Homeric Epic. Thus not behaving as either a straight oral song or as a straight literate text tout court, the Homeric Epic calls into question the prevailing Parryist axiom of the oral Homer. The link between Homer and oral poetry has thus become an open question again: it is, in fact, the New Homeric Question that turns on the roles of orality and literacy in the genesis of the Homeric Epic. To clarify it this e-book experiments with a third term: postorality. As a postoral poet, having initially been trained as an oral bard absorbing the Hellenic oral tradition, Homer would have acquired literacy in the course of his career as an oral singer. It enabled him to widen, deepen, and refine his epic art, thereby giving rise to an epic as complex and unique, in terms of structure, characterization, and intellectual substance, as the Iliad.

In the first century BCE, Greek intellectuals had to come to terms with the stability of Roman power. Many of them were active in Rome, which became the cultural centre of the Greek world; others were connected with Roman patrons. Their work became important for the emergence of Greek identity in the Roman Empire. Bringing together an international group of leading Classical scholars, this volume represents the first attempt at a comprehensive study of Greek cultural identity in the first century: how did the Romans influence the Greeks view(s) of themselves and of their classical heritage? How did the Greeks interpret the Romans and their role in the world? Covering such different genres as historiography, literary criticism, the novel, and epigram, as well as archaeological material, the contributions explore the intellectual diversity of one of the most significant periods in history and situate the authors active under Augustus within their broader intellectual-historical context.

The book explores the significance and dissemination of monstrous anatomies in British and German culture by investigating how and why scientific and literary representations and descriptions of abnormal bodies were proposed in the late Enlightenment, during the Romantic and the Victorian Age. Since the investigations of late 18th-Century natural sciences, the fascination with monstrous anatomies has proved crucial to the study of human physiology and pathology. Featuring essays by a number of scholars focusing on a wide range of literary texts from the long nineteenth century and foregrounding the most important monstrous anatomies of the time, this book intends to offer a significant contribution to the study of the representations of the abnormal body in modern culture.

Ancient literature abounds with portrayals of and reflections on sensory experience, yet there has been no systematic study of its more extreme and marginal phenomena, be it a loss of the senses or their overstimulation. This volume on Graeco-Roman perceptions of sensory experience therefore investigates the aspect of the extreme from multiple angles, encompassing philosophical, social, and literary perspectives. The contributions analyse texts spanning from the Greek Classical period to Roman Late Antiquity and from epigram to epic. They investigate both textual strategies of evoking sensory experiences that were considered extreme by certain agents or groups and the discourses that evolved around them in their socio-cultural context. The volume thereby adds to the flourishing field of sensory studies within Classics by mapping out the sensory extreme and exploring its interrelation with affect and emotion.

Stevens began identifying and collecting colloquialisms in Tragedy in 1937, refined his definitions in 1945 and finished his work with the monograph upon Euripides of 1976. This revised and enlarged edition assesses the contribution to the field by subsequent scholars. It adds many expressions to Stevenss list, which is now divided into two categories: expressions that are confidently identified as colloquial, and almost as many that are probable or possible. An unexpected finding is that Sophocles used hardly fewer such expressions than Euripides. The e-books chief aim is to broaden the evidential basis for colloquialisms in Tragedy, and to attempt a more useful evaluation of their usage: statistics are gathered on their distribution and location, and their frequent concentration in types of dramatic and stylistic context. Many individual passages, and the possible use of colloquialisms for characterization, are discussed. The e-book includes full indices locorum for expressions and usages.

When we think about Platos philosophy, his Laws is usually not the first work that comes to mind. Platos final magnum opus is a perplexing text in many ways, even apart from the fact that its very existence forces us to reflect on the question of how it relates to Platos other major political work, Republic. The debate about Platos Laws usually disregards its composition and the way in which the legislation takes shape in the dialogue. This e-book offers a fresh reading of Platos Laws that treats its form as an integral part of its philosophy, and asks what the way in which Platos legislative project is given shape in the text suggests about the status of that project. It argues that the legislative project is strikingly pragmatic for a work of Platonic philosophy and should therefore be understood in its own terms. Rather than laying down a definitive law code for a new colony (Magnesia) that is based on, or at least in some way presupposes, a metaphysical norm, Platos last work creates its own moral framework, in which lawgiving provides a convenient practical test for a notion of virtue understood as social conditioning.

La gran obra de Almudena Grandes. Las cinco novelas de una serie que ha marcado nuestra memoria colectiva, y la historia de la literatura española.Cuando en 2010 Almudena Grandes publicó Inés y la alegria, en la que novelizo de manera inolvidable el episodio desconocido de la toma del valle de Aran en 1944 por un ejercito de republicanos españoles, anuncio que con ella iniciaba una serie de novelas independientes con las que querian trazar la historia olvidada de los que resistieron y lucharon en la clandestinidad durante la posguerra y el franquismo. Asi aparecieron El lector de Julio Verne, sobre el maquis en la sierra de Jaen, Las tres bodas de Manolita, sobre la organizacion de la resistencia en Madrid, entre carceles, tablaos y Cuelgamuros, Los pacientes del doctor Garcia, sobre la red de evasion de nazis en la España franquista, y La madre de Frankenstein, en el que un manicomio se convierte en microcosmos de un regimen represor. Esas cinco novelas forman el ultimo gran friso de la literatura española, una obra titanica que ha logrado una repercusion irrepetible, y que ahora ofrecemos en un pack de lujo.

A 12th-century opera, Ordo Virtutum was originally written in plainchant. This edition features the complete score transcribed in modern notation with bilingual text (Latin and English), as well as a facsimile of the original work. The translation by Dr. Zoltan Paulinyi preserves the musical and prosodic correspondence of the words. This edition also includes stage directions and presents a well-organized vocal register chart for musical production. The Order of Virtues remains one of the most captivating philosophical themes of the last millennium. Saint Hildegard posed the question in an artistically elegant form in this sublime opera, inspiring hundreds of intellectuals, including Saint Thomas Aquinas himself, to seek more complete answers. ARGUMENT. On a battlefield, patriarchs and prophets admire the personified virtues. The Virtues wish to protect three incarnated souls: the Happy, the Unhappy and the Penitent ones. Out of 23 characters and members of the choirs, 18 virtues appear successively. Following the cavalrys customs, the virtues seek to coat the souls with appropriate armour and encourage them to honour their garments fighting against the devil. Each virtue aims to consolidate a leading position in the order of virtues to strengthen the souls at the battlefield, which symbolizes the life.The Penitent Soul converts with the help of the Virtues and struggles against the ancient serpent. The Unhappy Soul, who desisted from the fight, reveals the great Gods miracle when aided after calling for help. The virtues come together to arrest the devil, and to show souls the right path for God. The opera ends by glorifying the magnificent divine wisdom and requesting for God s blessings.

Ten experts in premodern literature and history examine the style, genre, and performance of sixteenth century Ottoman poetry. A large number of poems, including a newly discovered imperial poem collection and the work of a poet fallen into oblivion, are discussed with regard to their multifarious functions and their contemporary lyrical appeal. Though most of these poets worked in conventional settings many of the articles in this volume point out how they broke taboos, glossed over violence, and promoted or questioned political rule, even as they appealed to their listeners on an emotional level. The authors provide ample evidence for the importance attributed to certain cities and places, as well as local affiliations and networks. These analyses show how premodern poetry operated as a tool of communication and formed an integral part of premodern social and political life.
