Reprint of 1988. With its informative introduction, collects the major medieval versions of the story of Troilus and Criseyde, each putting its own "spin" on the plot and characterization. Benoît's 12th-cent. Roman de Troie is the first version we know. Boccaccio used Troilus's woes as a medium for expressing his own grief over a lost love; his poem, Il Filostrato ("the one prostrated by love") is the raciest version, in which Criseyde eagerly joins in the lovemaking. Boccaccio also added Pandarus as the go-between. Key books from Chaucer's poem are included, as well as Henryson's Testament of Cresseid (1490). ; Mediaeval Academy Reprints for Teaching; 0.81 x 8.96 x 6.04 Inches

Light bump to 1 corner. Faint foxing to top of textblock. Very light shelfwear to DJ. Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; 1.25 x 9.75 x 6.75 Inches; 492 pages; In this masterly interpretation of narrative sequence in the Iliad, Keith Stanley not only sharpens the current debate over the date and creation of the poem, but also challenges the view of this work as primarily a celebration of heroic force. He begins by studying the intricate ring-composition in the verses describing Achilles' shield, then extends this analysis to reveal the Iliad as an elaborate and self-conscious formal whole. In so doing he defends the hypothesis that the poem as we know it is a massive reorganization and expansion of earlier "Homeric" material, written in response to the need for a stable text for repeated performance at the sixth-century Athenian festival for the city's patron goddess. Stanley explores the arrangement of the poem's books, all unified by theme and structure, showing how this allowed for artistically satisfying and practically feasible recitation over a period of three or four days. Taking structural emphasis as a guide to poetic discourse, the author argues that the Iliad is not a poem of "might"--as opposed to the Odyssean celebration of "guile"--but that in advocating social and personal reconciliation the poem offers a profound indictment of a warring heroic society.

White octavo, Trade Paperback, 107 pages ; 24 cm. The Sanctified Church is a collection of Hurston's ground-breaking essays on Afro-American folklore, legend, popular mythology, and, in particular, the unique spiritual character of the Soouthern Black Christian Church. Along with preserving the customs, music, speech, and humor of rural Black America, The Sanctified Church introduces us to such extraordinary figures as Mother Catherine, matriarchal founder of a highly personal Voodoo Christian sect; Uncle Monday, healer, conjurer, and powerful herb doctor; and High John de Conquer, the trickster/shaman figure of freedom and laughter still honored in parts of rural Black America today. A pioneering ethnographer and floklore scholar, the great Zora Neale Hurston captured the exuberance, vitality and genius of Black culture with a vividness and authority unmatched by any other writer. (Rear cover). Contents: Father Abraham -- Cures and beliefs -- Mother Catherine -- Uncle Monday -- Daddy Mention -- Characteristics of negro expression -- High John de Conquer -- Spirituals and neo-spirituals -- Conversions and visions -- Shouting -- Sermon -- Sanctified church.
