  • LLT 180 Lecture 22 1 Today We're Gonna Pick up with Gottfried Von Strassburg. As Most of You Already Know, and It's Been Alle
    LLT 180 Lecture 22 1 Today we're gonna pick up with Gottfried von Strassburg. As most of you already know, and it's been alleged and I readily admit, that I'm an occasional attention slut. Obviously, otherwise, I wouldn't permit it to be recorded for TV. And, you know, if you pick up your Standard today, it always surprises me -- actually, if you live in Springfield, you might have met me before without realizing it. I like to cook and a colleague in the department -- his wife's an editor for the Springfield paper and she also writes a weekly column for the "Home" section. And so he and I were talking about pans one day and I was, you know, saying, "Well," you know, "so many people fail to cook because they don't have the perfect pan." And she was wanting to write an article about pans. She'd been trying to convince him to buy better pans. And so she said, "Hey, would you pose for a picture with pans? I'm writing this article." And so I said, "Oh, what the heck." And so she came over and took this photo. And a couple of weeks later, I opened Sunday morning's paper -- 'cause I knew it was gonna be in that week -- and went over to the "Home" section. And there was this color photo, about this big, and I went, "Oh, crap," you know. So whatever. Gottfried. Again, as they tell you here, we don't know much about these people, and this is really about love.

    Richard III’s Books: X. The Prose Tristan ANNE F. SUTTON AND LIVIA VISSER-FUCHS Tristan, lover, knight of the Round Table and famous huntsman, was one of the best known heroes of the later middle ages. One story can be cited to prove his popularity. Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, had a row with his son,Charles, and galloped off fugiously into the forest. The next morning when he was recovering from his night of exertions his good humour was restored by his friend and Chamberlain, Philippe Pot, who said: Good morning, monseigneur, what is this? Are you King Arthur now or Sir Lancelot? Did you think there would be no Sir Tristrams wandering around who would be a match for you?‘ The Duke was feeling rather the worse for wear, he laughed and agreed that he had had his ‘adventure, but added that despite his sorry state he was still capable of taking up arms if love or honour demanded it. To both Philip and his courtier, ‘Tristram’ was an integral part of the Arthurian stories, he was Lancelot’ 5 equal, a knight errant and one of the best knights in the world. Their ‘Tristram’ was very different from the .original character of Celtic legend. The Celtic hero had become one of the famous triangle, with Queen Isolde and King Mark of Cornwall, as developed by twelfth- ccntury poets, and that creation in its turn underwent considerable alteration at the hands of the authors of the Prose Tristan.2 Most English people still know the love story of Tristan and Isolde in a version deriving from the prose Tristan through the medium of Sir Thomas Malory, Spenser or Tennyson.

SCOTT'S USE OF "SIR TRISTREM" AFTER HIS 1804 EDITION 66 WORKS CITED 74 ni .jKlsgcTTi CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION When Walter Scott published his edition of the medieval romance "Sir Tristrem" in 1804, he was not yet tided nor a novelist, but had already achieved literary notoriety both for his poetic translations and for his monumental achievement, Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border.^ Indeed, in many ways, Scott's edition of Sir Tristrem is the culmination of his work in the Border Minstrelsey, and originally Scott had intended his edition of Sir Tristrem, which was reputed to be the work of the medieval poet and seer Thomas of Erceldoune, known as The Rhymer, to be a continuing volume of the series.^ With his edition of Sir Tristrem, Scott graduated from the annotative type of scholarship found among the ballads in the Border Minstrelsey to an analytical form of scholarship that probed controversial issues and provided new and important insights into the problems found in a particular literary work, an approach which was in many ways imique to his time.

  • Sword in the Middle: the Iconography of Courtly Love in the Arthurian Romance
    중세르네상스영문학 21권 2호 (2013): 215-230 Sword in the Middle: The Iconography of Courtly Love in the Arthurian Romance Hyonjin Kim Seoul National University Since Gaston Paris gave it a controversial but surprisingly enduring name in 1883, courtly love, or amour courtois, has come a long way.1 It was once hailed as the revolutionary sentiment that “erected impassable barriers between us [the Western ‘us,’ in fact] and the classical past or the Oriental present” (Lewis 4). In the course of the twentieth century, the barbarous Orient had been enlightened by this great Western invention, while new barriers had been gradually erected between the now globalized us and the courtly-patriarchal nexus. The evolution of Feminism and gender studies in the last quarter of the century brought about a major reorientation of scholarship on courtly love.2 The collusion of courtly ideology and medieval misogyny has been mapped in detail. The lady has stepped down 1 For a chronological survey of modern scholarship on courtly love from 1800 to 1975, see Boase 18-61. 2 For a critical review of Feminist scholarship up to 2000, see Burns, “Courtly Love.” I am much indebted to her thorough, well-balanced survey. 216 Hyonjin Kim from the pedestal and vanished, in whose absence the male lover has emerged as the sole subject of desire and beneficiary of patriarchal sexual economy. With its ideological armor stripped down to the bone, we now see more transparently how courtly love registers male fantasy, traffic in women, or even masochistic narcissism beneath the surface of Frauendienst, or lady-worship.3 Recently, there has been a series of revisionist efforts to rediscover female subjectivity or resistance in male-authored courtly texts.4 As far as the Arthurian romance—the courtly narrative par excellence—is concerned, however, one big question still remains unanswered, all progresses and paradigmatic shifts notwithstanding.

If, in your speech, the words finger and singer rhyme, [ŋ] is probably not phonemic for you. z The phoneme /w/ actually has a dual articulation; it is bilabial by virtue of the rounding and near closure of the lips and velar by virtue of the raising of the back of the tongue toward the velum.

  • Adapting Conventions of Courtliness 177

Thomas makes an inescapable contradiction of the latent tension between public and private loyalties, refusing optimistic harmony for a tragic vision of love refined by inner torment. His strained but magisterial union of humanity to absolute love recognizes an op­ position deeper than the typical interplay of courtly code and ad­ venturing knight. Hue's treatment of the interdependence of love and chivalry strikes at the motif's heart by reading the plot doubly and by giving the alternate reading a world of its own, a local milieu that engulfs the traditional reading. There is nothing in twelfth- century romance to match Hue's full context of anecdotes and atti­ tudes enclosing and commenting on the characters' world. Two young men seeking brides illustrate what happens to ideas of Yet Thomas and Hue remain committed to the principle of heroic love and chivalry between the twelfth and the fourteenth centuries. self-determination and to the process of confronting heroes with The first, Arnulf of Guines, pursued a very wealthy widow, Count­ challenges raised by their own aspirations.

  • The Evolving Iconography of the Tristan Legend from the Middle Ages to the Present, with Special Emphasis on the Arthurian Reviv
    66 arthuriana the 2018 loomises lecture The Evolving Iconography of the Tristan Legend from the Middle Ages to the Present, with Special Emphasis on the Arthurian Revival in British Art joan tasker grimbert In this essay, I explore how the iconography of the legend of Tristan and Iseult evolved through the ages, noting how each epoch favored a specific episode that seemed to emblemize the lovers’ plight. Although I consider various cultural influences, I emphasize the particular works (mostly literary) from which artists, musicians, and filmmakers appear to have drawn their primary inspiration. (JTG) he legend of Tristan and Iseult has had a long and remarkable history.1 TOriginating apparently as an oral tale to which the troubadours allude as early as the eleventh century, it is preserved in fragments of narrative poems in Anglo-Norman, Middle High German, Middle English, and Old Norse dating back to the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. It was transformed decisively in the thirteenth century when it merged with the legend of King Arthur in the French prose Tristan, a work which then spawned variations in Italian and Spanish. The prose Tristan was later preserved in abbreviated form in late fifteenth-century printed editions and—quite differently—in the vast middle section of Sir Thomas Malory’s Morte Darthur. After experiencing a lull in the early modern period, the legend was again revived in the nineteenth century with the appearance of new editions of Malory’s work and inaugural editions of the medieval verse romances, which inspired contemporary poets and artists. In the later decades of that century, Richard Wagner’s opera, Tristan und Isolde, left its powerful imprint on poets, artists, and eventually filmmakers, and, in the early twentieth century, Joseph Bédier’sRoman de Tristan et Iseut likewise influenced primarily book illustrators and filmmakers.
