Adam's Grace: Fall and Redemption in Medieval Literature
By: Murdoch, Brian
Published by: Boydell & Brewer

The theme of Adam's Grace is the interplay of theology and literature across a wide range of genres and vernaculars: in particular, the use of medieval literary texts to explain the balance of the Fall and Redemption, the universality of original sin, and the identity of mankind with its first parents, Adam and Eve. The process begins with the Christian tradition of apocryphal Adam-lives, which live on and develop in many vernaculars. Later, Adam is used as a literary model, on whom many well-known Christian figures of the middle ages - knights, popes, emperors, kings and saints - can be seen to be based. more...

All the Names of the Lord
By: Izmirlieva, Valentina
Published by: The University of Chicago Press

Christians face a conundrum when it comes to naming God, for if God is unnamable, as theologians maintain, he can also be called by every name. His proper name is thus an open-ended, all-encompassing list, a mystery the Church embraces in its rhetoric, but which many Christians have found difficult to accept. To explore this conflict, Valentina Izmirlieva examines two lists of God’s names: one from The Divine Names, the classic treatise by Pseudo-Dionysius, and the other from The 72 Names of the Lord, an amulet whose history binds together Kabbalah and Christianity, Jews and Slavs, Palestine, Provence, and the Balkans. This unexpected juxtaposition of a theological treatise and a magical amulet allows Izmirlieva to reveal lists’ rhetorical potential to create order and to function as both tools of knowledge and of power. Despite the two different visions of order represented by each list, Izmirlieva finds that their uses in Christian practice point to a complementary relationship between the existential need for God’s protection and the metaphysical desire to submit to his infinite majesty—a compelling claim sure to provoke discussion among scholars in many fields. more...

Amoral Gower
By: Watt, Diane
Published by: University of Minnesota Press

Drawing on a combination of queer and feminist theory, ethical criticism, and psychoanalytic, historicist, and textual criticism, Diane Watt focuses on the language, sex, and politics in Gower’s writing. She demonstrates that Gower engaged in the sort of critical thinking more commonly associated with Chaucer and William Langland and contributes to modern debates about the ethics of criticism. more...

Arthurian Literature XVIII
By: Busby, Keith (ed.)
Published by: Boydell & Brewer

This volume of Arthurian Literature continues the tradition of the journal, combining critical studies with editions of primary Arthurian texts. Varied in their linguistic and chronological coverage, the articles deal with major areas of Arthurian studies, from early French romance through late medieval English chronicle to contemporary fiction. Topics include Béroul's Tristan, Tristan de Nanteuil, the Anglo-Norman Brut, and the Morte, while an edition of the text of an extrait of Chrétien's Erec et Enide prepared by the eighteenth-century scholar La Curne de Sainte-Palaye offers important insights into both scholarship on Chrétien, and our understanding of the Enlightenment. more...

Buch und Text
By: Wolf, Jürgen
Published by: Max Niemeyer Verlag

The study takes as its subject the historical literary and cultural upheavals which led to the appearance of books of German literature in the vernacular. It examines them against the background of present-day theoretical discussions, taking critical account of the findings of international research on texts and manuscripts, and links these for the first time in the study of German-language works with approaches from paleography, codicology and general cultural history. The reliability of the evaluation is guaranteed by using an extraordinarily wide database – Wolf not only considers the whole of the German literature available in the vernacular from 12th and 13th century manuscripts, but also draws on a qualified selection of parallel texts in Latin and Old French. more...
