  • A Study of the British Library Manuscripts of the Roman De Troie by Benoit De Sainte-Maure: Redaction, Decoration, and Reception
    A Study of the British Library Manuscripts of the Roman de Troie by Benoit de Sainte-Maure: Redaction, Decoration, and Reception Sian Prosser Doctor of Philosophy University of Sheffield Department of French January 2010 IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa/ Wetherby West Yorkshire/ LS23 7BQ www.bl.uk THIS THESIS CONTAINS A CD IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa, Wetherby West Yorkshire, LS23 7BQ www.bl.uk PAGE NUMBERING AS ORIGINAL Summary Recent studies of the Roman de Troie have highlighted the need for more research on the extant manuscripts, because of the unreliable nature of the critical edition and the importance of the text to scholars of twelfth -century literature. This study seeks to contribute to knowledge of one of the most popular versions of the Troy legend in medieval France by describing and analysing two little-known manuscripts of the text. London, British Library, Additional 30863 (L2) presents an abridged version of the poem that provides insights into the reception of the poem in the early thirteenth century. London, British Library, Harley 4482 (L 1) contains a series of decorated initials which exhibit a higher than suspected level of engagement with the text on the part of the manuscript's makers. Part I of the thesis concentrates on L2, beginning in chapter 1 with a codicological and palaeographical description, and a discussion of its likely provenance. Chapter 2 develops the codicological analysis, looking at specific evidence of scribal editing and comparing the manuscript with its closest relative to see which abridgments are unique to L2. It concludes with case studies that illustrate the scribe's abridgement techniques via the presentation of the principal female characters.

  • The Comedies on Film1
    The Comedies on Film1 MICHAEL HATTAWAY Compared with screen versions of the tragedies and histories, there have been few distinguished films based on the comedies. Max Reinhardt’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1935) may be the only film in this genre to be acclaimed for its pioneering cinematography,2 and Franco Zeffirelli’s The Taming of the Shrew (1967), Kenneth Branagh’s Much Ado About Nothing (1993) 3, and Michael Radford’s The Merchant of Venice (2004) are the only three to have achieved popular (if not necessarily critical) success: the first for its use of actors (Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor) who were the co-supremes of their age, the second for cameo performances by photogenic stars, high spirits, and picturesque settings,4 and the third for fine cinematography and superb performances from Jeremy Irons and Al Pacino. Shakespeare’s comedies create relationships with their theatre audiences for which very few directors have managed to find cinematic equivalents, and it is not surprising that some of the comedies (The Comedy of Errors, The Merry Wives of Windsor, and The Two Gentlemen of Verona) have not been filmed in sound and in English for the cinema (although a couple have been the basis of adaptations). The problem plays or ‘dark comedies’ been have not been filmed for the cinema: presumably their sexual politics and toughness of analysis have never been thought likely to appeal to mass audiences, while The Taming of the Shrew, open as it is to both the idealisation and subjugation of women, has received a lot of attention, including versions from D.W.

    The Nine Worthies and other Ternionen A survey of the literature and iconography by Steen Clemmensen 2nd Revised Edition Personalized virtues 2 Variations in iconography 3 Representations of the Nine Worthies and other Ternionen 4 References 7 Variations of arms ascribed to the Ternionen 10 Ordinary of arms 36 © 2017 Steen Clemmensen, Farum, Denmark, www.armorial.dk 1 Personalized virtues The imagery of the Ternionen or three best of each is one of several forms of presentation of knightly virtues and the bases of society. In this case based on the magical number three, as found in arts (The three Graces), constitutions (parliament, executive, judicial), behaviour (faith, hope, and charity), and life (youth, middle age, old age) &c. Though coats-of-arms were assigned to imaginary heroes from the early 13th century (Charlemagne), the first known occurrence of the triad: pagan law – jewish law – christian law, was the French poem Voeux du paon or Vows of the peacock from 1312 by Jean de Longuyon. Law is here including virtues and commendable social behaviour. Longuyon selected nine champions to represent the triads: Hector, Alexander, and Caesar for the pagans; David, Joshua and Judas Maccabeus for the jews; and Charlemagne, Arthur of Britain, and Godfrey of Bouillon for the christians. This theme of the Nine Worthies / Neuf Preux / Neun Helden / Nove Prodi rapidly became a common and enduring theme in Western Europe, being repeated in artworks and literature through England, France, Germany, Spain and Italy. From time to time the worthies were in competition as well as union with other real or fabulous groupings: e.g.

  • A HISTORY of the PAINTED CEILING of Balquhidder
    A HISTORY OF THE PAINTED CEILING of Balquhidder The Renaissance that swept through Europe changed everything that it touched. Effecting everything from social mores to art, architecture, literature and a rather extravagant lifestyle, especially for the nobility and gentry. As the power of the Catholic Church began to wane, a new artistic freedom was unleashed. Music, art, fashion, all fell under the spell of the wild doings at the King’s Court of France. Under the reign of King James the VI, the Scottish Renaissance reached its zenith. The arts especially took on a joyous glow of freedom from the Church. Castles and manors were rebuilt or re-dressed to suit the style of the day. One of the most striking examples of this new view of art was the painted ceiling. From manors to great halls, the marvelous painted ceilings of Scotland showed off in indulgent detail the most popular designs of the time. The Scottish painted ceiling is, in a way, also the story of the fantastic change, the very attitude of the upper classes to reach the very top level of display. From Court costumes to the castellated style of buildings, done more for show than defense, this was just a taste of the intricate interior decoration. The Renaissance was not all fun and games however. The lords and ladies walked a fine ecclesiastical tight rope. Outwardly supporting the just birthing concepts of Protestant theology, while inwardly holding on to the generational life based in catholic teachings, these centuries old beliefs would not surrender easily. The Painted Ceiling followed the newest trends from Paris using images of parables, fables, bestiaries and scenes from the Bible-copied from Flemish pattern books.

Denton, Texas August, 1995 Appel, Nona Faye, The Confident Amazon: Warrior-Women in the Collected Works of Christine de Pizan. Master of Arts (Art History), August, 1995. 115 pp., 23 illus- trations, references, 52 titles. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze and discuss the relationship between the images and texts concerning Amazons and warrior-women in the collected works of Christine de Pizan (London, BL, Harley MS 4431). It evaluates Christine's interpretation of the ancient story in light of her career as an author and publisher, and it compares her imagery to other representations of Amazons and warrior-women. This study indicates that Christine reworked the myth in a way that reflects her positive view of women and her desire to influence the queen of France, Isabeau de Baviere, who was the original owner of the manuscript.

    Published on Great Writers Inspire (http://writersinspire.org) Home > Arthurian Afterlives Arthurian Afterlives While Caxton promotes the text as a piece of enjoyable literature that will instruct its readers in the correct way to behave as gentlemen if they 'do after the good and leave the evil', by the sixteenth-century it became seen as an actively bad influence on its readers. Courtier and schoolteacher Roger Ascham rails against the corrupting influence of Malory's text in The Scholemaster, begun in 1563 but published after his death in 1570: In oure forefathers tyme, whan Papistrie, as a standying poole, couered and ouerflowed all England, fewe books were read in our tong, sauyng certaine bookes of Cheualrie, as they sayd, for pastime and pleasure, which, as some say, were made in Monasteries, by idle Monkes, or wanton Chanons: as one for example, Morte Arthure: the whole pleasure of which booke standeth in two speciall poyntes, in open mans slaughter, and bold bawdrye (In our forefathers' time, when Catholicism covered and overflowed over all England like a stagnant pool, few books were read in our language except for certain books of chivalry which were read for pastime and pleasure. These, as some say, were made in monasteries by idle monks or wanton canons: for example, Morte Darthur, the whole pleasure of which book lies in two points: in open manslaughter, and in bold bawdiness.) Ascham also stresses that while Malory may provide 'good stuffe, for wise men to laughe at' ('good stuff for wise men to laugh at'), it is utterly inappropriate for children: 'What toyes, the dayly readyng of such a booke, may worke in the will of a yong ientleman, or a yong mayde..
