Studies in Medieval English Romances
Author: Derek Brewer
Publisher: Boydell & Brewer Ltd
ISBN: 9780859912471
Category : English literature
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
Interest in the literary form of romance has greatly increased over the past few years and begins to equal that of tragedy. Romance is seen as a potent model of life equal but opposite to tragedy. The modern widespread realisation that art its most powerful is not necessarily a direct realistic 'imitation' or mimesis of ordinary life, together with the accompanying interest in fantasy, folktale and science fiction, have all opened out new vistas of literary experience.

Romance and the Gentry in Late Medieval England
Author: Michael Johnston
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191669210
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Romance and the Gentry in Late Medieval England offers a new history of Middle English romance, the most popular genre of secular literature in the English Middle Ages. Michael Johnston argues that many of the romances composed in England from 1350-1500 arose in response to the specific socio-economic concerns of the gentry, the class of English landowners who lacked titles of nobility and hence occupied the lower rungs of the aristocracy. The end of the fourteenth century in England witnessed power devolving to the gentry, who became one of the dominant political and economic forces in provincial society. As Johnston demonstrates, this social change also affected England's literary culture, particularly the composition and readership of romance. Romance and the Gentry in Late Medieval England identifies a series of new topoi in Middle English that responded to the gentry's economic interests. But beyond social history and literary criticism, it also speaks to manuscript studies, showing that most of the codices of the "gentry romances" were produced by those in the immediate employ of the gentry. By bringing together literary criticism and manuscript studies, this book speaks to two scholarly communities often insulated from one another: it invites manuscript scholars to pay closer attention to the cultural resonances of the texts within medieval codices; simultaneously, it encourages literary scholars to be more attentive to the cultural resonances of surviving medieval codices.

A Companion to Medieval Popular Romance
Author: Raluca L. Radulescu
Publisher: DS Brewer
ISBN: 184384270X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Popular romance was one of the most wide-spread forms of literature in the Middle Ages, yet despite its cultural centrality, and its fundamental importance for later literary developments, the genre has defied precise definition, its subject matter ranging from tales of chivalric adventure, to saintly women, and monsters that become human. The essays in this collection provide contexts, definitions, and explanations for the genre, particularly in an English context. Topics covered include genre and literary classification; race and ethnicity; gender; orality and performance; the romance and young readers; metre and form; printing culture; and reception.
