Yvain
Author: Chretien de TroyesPublisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300187580
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.

Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
"Architecture and Democracy" is a thought-provoking book written by Claude Bragdon, exploring the relationship between architecture and the principles of democracy. With a keen understanding of both architectural theory and democratic ideals, Bragdon delves into the ways in which architecture can reflect and shape the social fabric of a democratic society. Bragdon explores various architectural styles, urban planning principles, and historical examples to illustrate the relationship between built environments and democratic values. He advocates for the democratization of architecture, where the design and development of public spaces are driven by the needs and aspirations of the people they serve. "Architecture and Democracy" challenges readers to reevaluate their understanding of architecture as more than just a functional endeavor, but as a means to foster social cohesion, equality, and democratic ideals. Bragdon's book serves as a call to architects, urban planners, and policymakers to consider the social and political implications of their work, and to embrace a design philosophy that prioritizes inclusivity, accessibility, and the well-being of the community.
