Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT)…. - Lediglich der Schutzumschlag ist leicht berieben, sonst ein tadelloses Exemplar / Only the dust jacket is slightly rubbed, otherwise a pristine copy. - Calling into question the common assumption that the Middle Ages produced no secondary epics, Ann W. Astell here revises a key chapter in literary history. She examines the connections between the Book of Job and Boethius Consolation of Philosophytexts closely associated with each other in the minds of medieval readers and writersand demonstrates that these two works served as a conduit for the tradition of heroic poetry from antiquity through the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance. As she traces the complex influences of classical and biblical texts on vernacular literature, Astell offers provocative readings of works by Dante, Chaucer, Spenser, Malory, Milton, and many others. Astell looks at the relationship between the historical reception of the epic and successive imitative forms, showing how Boethius Consolation and Joban biblical commentaries echo the allegorical treatment of epic truth in the poems of Homer and Virgil, and how in turn many works classified as romance take Job and Boethius as their models. She considers the influences of Job and Boethius on hagiographic romance, as exemplified by the stories of Eustace, Custance, and Griselda; on the amatory romances of Abelard and Héloise, Dante and Beatrice, and Troilus and Criseyde; and on the chivalric romances of Martin of Tours, Galahad, Lancelot, and Redcrosse. Finally, she explores an encyclopedic array of interpretations of Job and Boethius in Miltons Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, and Samson Agonistes. / CONTENTS Preface Abbreviations Introduction 1.
