Creation of Lancastrian Kingship: Literature, Language and Politics in Late Medieval England
by Jenni Nuttall
The arguments used to justify the deposition of Richard II in 1399 created new forms of political discussion which developed alongside new expectations of kingship itself and which shaped political action and debate for centuries to come. This interdisciplinary study analyses the political language and literature of the early Lancastrian period, particularly the reigns of Henry IV (1399-1413) and Henry V (1413-1422). Lancastrian authors such as ...

Chaucer, Ethics and Gender
by Alcuin Blamires
This book makes a vigorous reassessment of the moral dimension in Chaucer's writings. For the Middle Ages, the study of human behavior generally signified the study of the morality of attitudes, choices, and actions. Moreover, moral analysis was not gender neutral: it presupposed that certain virtues and certain failings were largely gender-specific. Alcuin Blamires, mainly concentrating on The Canterbury Tales, discloses how Chaucer adapts the ...

Images of Adventure: Ywain in the Visual Arts
by James A. Rushing
Exploring the relationships between literature and the visual arts in the Middle Ages, this book examines pictorial representations of the story of Ywain, knight of the Round Table, from the 13th through to the 15th centuries. Of the images studies by Rushing, only those found in manuscripts of Chretien de Troyes' Yvain are placed in any obvious relation with a written text, whilst those many images of Yvain found on wall-paintings, ...
