  • Paratexts

    Thresholds of Interpretation

    door Gerard Genette ...
    Vertaald door Jane E. Lewin ...
    Serie Boek 20 - Literature, Culture, Theory
    Paratexts are those liminal devices and conventions, both within and outside the book, that form part of the complex mediation between book, author, publisher and reader: titles, forewords, epigraphs and publishers' jacket copy are part of a book's private and public history. In this first English translation of Paratexts, Gérard Genette shows how the special pragmatic status of paratextual ... Meer lezen

  • Knowing Poetry

    Verse in Medieval France from the "Rose" to the "Rhétoriqueurs"

    In the later Middle Ages, many writers claimed that prose is superior to verse as a vehicle of knowledge because it presents the truth in an unvarnished form, without the distortions of meter and rhyme. Beginning in the thirteenth century, works of verse narrative from the early Middle Ages were recast in prose, as if prose had become the literary norm. Instead of dying out, however, verse took on ... Meer lezen

  • The Oxford Handbook of Montaigne

    Bewerkt door Philippe Desan ...
    Serie series Oxford Handbooks
    In 1580, Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) published a book unique by its title and its content: Essays"R. A literary genre was born.

  • Controlling Readers

    Guillaume de Machaut and His Late Medieval Audience

    Guillaume de Machaut (1300-1377) was the master poet of fourteenth-century France.

In particular, his longest and most important work, the Voir dit, calls attention to the coexistence of public and private reading practices through its intensely ... Meer lezen

  • Where is Medieval Philosophy going?

    Inaugural Lecture delivered on Thursday 13 February 2014

    door Alain de Libera ...
    Serie series Leçons inaugurales
    Where is medieval philosophy going? It is going to where philosophy is. And it is there where philosophy is going. It became medieval once the Middle Ages were over. It was only philosophy when the Middle Ages were still saeculum modernorum, the “century of the Moderns”, for those living in it. Today, it is going there where she or he who wants to recount, that is, to relate its history, must go. ... Meer lezen
