Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - To what extent can imaginative events be situated in time and history From the medieval to the early modern period, this question is intriguingly explored in the expansive literary genre of romance. This collective study, edited by Jon Whitman, is the first systematic investigation of that formative process during more than four hundred years. While concentrating on changing configurations of romance itself, the volume examines a number of important related reference points, from epic to chronicle to critical theory. Recalling but qualifying conventional approaches to the three 'matters' of Rome, Britain, and France, the far-reaching inquiry engages major works in a variety of idioms, including Latin, French, English, German, Italian, and Spanish. With contributions from a range of internationally distinguished scholars, this unique volume offers a carefully coordinated framework for enriching not only the reading of romance, but also the understanding of changing attitudes toward the temporal process at large.

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Discoloration on dust jacket under plastic and endpapers in the front and back, actual binding somewhat rubbed, small pencil note on mock title, otherwise very good. / Verfärbungen auf Schutzumschlag unter Folie und auf Vorsatzblättern am Anfang und Ende, Einband selbst etwas berieben, kleine Bleistiftanmerkung auf Schmutztitel, sonst sehr gut. - Allegory is both a strategy for interpreting texts and a method for composing them. This book investigates the interplay between these interpretive and compositional traditions at critical points in their development. Jon Whitman analyzes a range of works in which the allegorical impulse develops, from the Stoic moral essay and the Roman mythological epic to the Neoplatonic exegetical treatise and the Christian spiritual encyclopedia. By examining important changes in approach to the logic of a text, the design of the world, and the organization of events, Whitman shows how the interpretive and poetic strategies of allegory increasingly overlap and broaden in scope in antiquity and the early Middle Ages. He explains how this interaction acquires an intensive form in the twelfth-century Cosmographia, which explicates the story of creation by devising allegorical characters to act out the narrative. Relating this early convergence of analytic and imaginative methods to broader critical concerns, Whitman shows how allegory constantly promotes the reassessment of its own formulations, a process that stimulates the complex allegorical movement of the late Middle Ages. Students and teachers of literature, philosophy, and theology will appreciate this close analysis of ancient and medieval allegory, an investigation that combines important recent research with new perspectives on the interplay of early thought and expression. - Jon Whitman teaches English literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
