396 pages ., 5 b/w ill., 156 x 234 mm,Languages: French, Paperback. ISBN 9782503532059. Le Francais medieval est un manuel specifiquement adapte aux besoins du chercheur en histoire du Moyen Age. Evitant le recours systematique a une terminologie linguistique complexe, il se veut une introduction accessible et complete qui devrait faciliter l?acces aux textes les plus varies, quelles qu?en soient la date et l?origine geographique. Pour atteindre son objectif, l?ouvrage se divise en trois parties. La premiere est un parcours rapide, largement bibliographique et critique, de l?histoire du francais au Moyen Age. Elle insiste sur des definitions-clefs, comme celles de ?« dialecte ?» et de ?« scripta ?», ainsi que sur la variation du francais ecrit. La deuxieme partie reproduit le mouvement de comprehension d?un texte, de l?identification des mots a l?analyse syntaxique. Enfin, une anthologie commentee de plus de cinquante extraits brosse un vaste panorama de la production textuelle en francais medieval, des sources litteraires aux documents de la pratique, du XIIe a la fin du XVe siecle.
Hardback, 444 p., 318 b/w ill., 230 x 315 mm. ISBN 02010174. Dans ce volume, ce sont surtout les verrieres conservees dans la ville de Liege (eglise Saint-Jacques, basilique Saint-Martin, cathedrale Saint-Paul) qui permettent de realiser la facon dont les edifices de l'epoque devaient etre decores. A l'epoque, sous le regne du prince-eveque Erard de la Marck, la richesse de la Principaute de Liege permettait un important developpement des arts. Les vitraux liegeois conserves montrent, d'une part, des liens indeniables avec la production contemporaine dans d'autres regions des anciens Pays-Bas meridionaux et, d'autre part, une richesse ornementale extraordinaire et inventive. Certains autres vitraux etudies presentent une facture plus populaire mais qui devait se manifester tres frequemment dans toutes les regions. Languages : French.

Onoto Watanna, Winnifred Eaton (1875-1954) may have been the first Asian American woman to publish a novel. Although she was of Chinese-British ancestry, she published under the Japanese pseudonym, Onoto Watanna. She began writing stories at a very early age. She was only fourteen years old when one of her stories was accepted for publication by Montreal newspaper. Before long she had articles published in the United States in several popular magazines, notably the Ladies' Home Journal. Eventually, her compositions were accepted by the prestigious Saturday Evening Post as well as by other popular periodicals. She moved from this to writing novels, capitalizing on her mixed ancestry to pass herself off as a Japanese American by the name of "Onoto Watanna." Under this pseudonym she published Japanese romance novels and short stories, becoming widely read throughout the United States. A wonderful example of the American enthusiasm for all things Japanese around the turn of the century. NW60
