Cloth has a tear along bottom of spine-- (2") but does not cut through the actual board. ; The essays in this volume offer a general overview and a number of detailed examinations of Arthur's fortunes, in two senses. First is the role of Fortune itself, often personified and consistently instrumental, in accounts of Arthur's court and reign. More generally the articles trace the trajectory of the Arthurian legend - its birth, rise and decline - through the middle ages. The final essay follows the continued turning of Fortune's wheel, emphasizing the modern revival and flourishing of the legend. The authors, all distinguished Arthurian scholars, illustrate their arguments through studies of early Latin and Welsh sources, chronicles, romances [in English, French, German, Italian, Latin and Welsh], manuscript illustration and modern literary texts. ; Arthurian Studies LXIV; 1.02 x 9.21 x 6.22 Inches; 288 pages

Una selezione degli scritti di uno dei maggiori filologi contemporanei. Un itinerario di grande ricchezza, che spazia dalla genesi delle lingue romanze alla storia linguistica della Sicilia e dell'Italia meridionale, alle vicende del maltese e del giudeo-spagnolo; dall'elaborazione e fruizione di testi epici, lirici e narrativi di area iberica, francese e italiana ai temi folclorici che in essi saltuariamente affiorano, fino ai problemi cruciali nella critica del testo, il lavoro del copista, il concetto stesso di autore di un testo medievale. Il tutto caratterizzato da una continua attenzione alla storia, sociale e culturale, del tempo e dell'ambiente in cui i testi vengono prodotti e utilizzati. Autori: Alberto Varvaro.
In his lifetime, Harry was a rogue and a rake. Now he's a ghost--visible only to those in love. He roams the halls of Steadford Abbey, atoning for his romantic sins by helping others find romance.sometimes with the most unexpected--and charming--results. Giles Steadford has inherited the Abbey--and is about to see it for the first time. He arrives, having been wounded in battle, and creates instant chaos. Giles is put under the care of Elizabeth, a nurse who finds him as cantankerous a patient as she's ever had. Giles, in turn, is too jaded from war to appreciate her tender ministrations. But if Harry has his way, Elizabeth will not only heal Giles' pain, but heal his heart--and open it to at true and lasting love. Book
