Minor Shelfwear; The New Middle Ages; 0.7 x 8.3 x 5.5 Inches; 176 pages; Geoffrey Chaucer was not a writer primarily but a privileged official place-holder. Prone to violence including rape assault and extortion the poet was employed first at domestic personal service and subsequently at policework of various sorts protecting the established order during a period of massive social upset. Chaucer's Jobs shows that the servile and disciplinary nature of the daily work Chaucer did was repeated in his poetry which by turns flatters his aristocratic betters and deals out discipline to malcontent others. Carlson contends that it was this social and political quality of Chaucer's writings rathen than artistic merit that made him the "Father of English Poetry." . 1403966257 .

Book appears unread. Very light shelfwear.; 0.63 x 9.21 x 6.14 Inches; 264 pages; This is an entirely new and original reading of 'Pearl' placing the anonymous masterpiece in the context of the Cheshire coterie that flourished at the court of Richard II during the 1390s. The brilliance of its poetic construction has long been acknowledged but here 'Pearl' is also shown to engage with the social religious and political events of the late fourteenth century. The poem's defense of infant baptism is seen as countering Lollard criticism of the sacraments its retelling of the Parable of the Vineyard as offering scriptural support to the aims of the Statute of Labourers. The poem's dazzling representation of aristocratic magnificence - jewelled crowns gem-embroidered gowns livery badges civic processions and monumental architecture - studied in this context relates to the spectacular royal culture of one of England's most ambitious monarchs. The courtly elegy offered consolation after the death of Anne of Bohemia while its vision of a royal child-bride figured in the intense national debate over the king's prospective marriage to the six-year-old Isabelle of France. Richard II's fall from power brought to an end not simply Cheshire privilege but also a poetic tradition that produced some of the finest works of English literature most notably 'Pearl' and 'Gawain and the Green Knight'. . 0859915999 .

List3684Folio 9 ½ x 13 inches 5 pp. Margins trimmed quite tight to title with some loss to publisher information on rear cover small chips else near fine with the hand colored lithographic cover by H.C. Maguire in fine condition. Near Fine. An interesting piece of sheet music perhaps shedding light on the term “guinea†as it applies to Italians which though it originated in Europe migrated to the United States. Lingard’s song begins “I’m poor Italian guinea pig boy Straight from Florence I come with my stock.†The song was anthologized later in Lingard songsters. The song is proof that the term was being used in performance and theater circles before the mass arrival of Italians in the United States. “Guinea†was also widely used to describe people of dark complexion during the period stemming from the Guinea region of West Africa. With an attractive lithographic cover of a cheerful enough looking boy extending his hand. We find two copies of this sheet at Oxford and the British Library with none held in the United States. unknown
