  • Troubadour Poetry: an Intercultural Experience
    Troubadour Poetry: An Intercultural Experience By Said I. Abdelwahed Professor of English Literature English Department Faculty of Arts, Al-Azhar University Gaza - Palestine ABSTRACT: This is a reading of the intercultural experience of the medieval poetry known as the Troubadour poetry. It’s a study of the origin, meaning, music and structure of the lyric love poetry which appeared in medieval Spain, in the period from (3rd to 7th centuries A.H / 9th to 13th centuries AD), with special reference to the Muwwashah and the Kharja. It expanded to southern France, then to northern France. The early troubadour was a wondering singer or minstrel who traveled from place to place singing for gaining his living. But the French troubadours were mostly of noble birth that wrote and sang for the upper-class audience. The troubadours wrote their songs and poems of a metrical form mainly on themes of courtly love. Their poetry was influenced by Arabic poetry and it became a literary phenomenon that historians of Western literature and culture could not ignore. This paper highlights the primary role played by the Arabs in medieval poetry issues and it alludes to some salient elements of intercultural communication between the East and the West. INTRODUCTION: Generally speaking, scholars and historians of medieval Arabic literature divided the Arabic and Islamic culture and literature of medieval Spain into three major components. Scholars made divisions of that culture but Gerard Wiegers made the clearest division as follows: I. Works on religion (fiqh, tafsir, prayer books, pious miscellanies, religious polemics magic, popular medicine, and treatises).

  • Medieval English Poetry Is Not Just a Mere Literary Artifact. an In
    SOCIAL CONSCIOUSNESS AND LITERARY DISSENT IN MIDDLE ENGLISH POETRY Medieval English Poetry is not just a mere literary artifact. An in- creasing interest in the social involvement of literature as a human ac- tivity is gradually shown through poetry which reaches its climax in the fourteenth century when it was also believed to be the literary ex- pression of political dissent and social discontent.1 Thus the poet be- comes aware of the social dimensions of his craft which is also a con- sequence of the social engagement of the poet with the historical situ- ation. He tries to reveal, through the poem, his inner feelings and his critical position against injustice and abuse. The quantity and the quality of the poetical output of this period might well have been a reaction to the radical crisis of the time. Po- etry was intended to have a real effect on society with political impli- cations. It expressed the complaints and shaped the expectations of common people in an age of adversity and controversy. In this way poetry became a radical medium of social propaganda. It was the literary answer to social predominance and political incompetence. Protest and political consciousness conformed to a new understanding of medieval poems, which became weapons in the struggle to reverse contemporary social trends and to encourage the projection of dreams 1.- So we find that “poetry was a means of expressing such social discontent.” Cfr. J. Coleman, English Literature in History 1300-1400. Medieval Readers and Writers (London: Hutchinson, 1981), p. 64. 94 and utopias where man could be free from alienation.

  • An Anthology of Maritime Reading Experiences
    An Anthology of Maritime Reading Experiences A book that has been read at sea has a near claim on our friendship, and is a thing one is loath to part with, or change, even for a better book. But the well-tried friend of many voyages is, oh, so hard to part with at sea. A resting-place in the solemn sea of sameness—in the trackless ocean, marked only by imaginary lines and circles—is a cheerless spot to look to; yet, how many have treasures there! (Voyage of the Liberdade, by Joshua Slocum. Boston, Robinson & Stephenson, 1890. p. 30) Allen, Everett S. Children of the Light: The Rise and Fall of New Bedford Whaling and the Death of the Arctic Fleet. Boston: Little, Brown, 1973. A somewhat elegiac tale of the decline of whaling and New Bedford, contrasted with descriptions of the life of the Inuit, before and after the coming of the whalers to the Beaufort Sea area. Main focus at end is on the disastrous season at Pt. Barrow of the whaling fleet which abandoned over 25 ships, but managed to rescue over 1200 whalemen. p. 89: When a library was donated to New Bedford by the Friends Society in 1813, a committee of members went over the list of books and discarded many, such as several foremost English poets and Shakespeare's works, as unfit for young people to read. This opposition to certain aspects of culture and the arts, implemented by the influential Quaker leadership, was dominant in the New Bedford area for many years.

  • Middle English Lyrics: Lyric Manuscripts 1200–1400 and Chaucer’S Lyric
    Middle English Lyrics: Lyric Manuscripts 1200–1400 and Chaucer’s Lyric by Emma Kate Charters Gorst A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Emma Kate Charters Gorst 2013 Middle English Lyrics: Lyric Manuscripts 1200–1400 and Chaucer’s Lyric Emma Kate Charters Gorst Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This thesis endeavours to understand late medieval lyric poetry and song from two ostensibly separate contexts: insular manuscript witnesses of English lyric from 1200 to 1400; and the narrative effects of lyric in Geoffrey Chaucer’s longer poetry, including the Canterbury Tales, the Parliament of Fowls, and the Book of the Duchess. These two contexts yield new insights about the medieval lyric. First, an overview of the manuscripts of medieval lyric from 1200 to 1400 in England suggests that about half of anonymous lyrics in this period exist in multiple witnesses and are thus in some sense connected, providing us with the insight that lyric at this time was not so much fragmentary as embedded in rich networks of meaning. The first chapter of the thesis uses network mapping software to represent some of these networks, and discusses the relationships among lyrics that appear in Maidstone, Maidstone Museum MS A.13 and related manuscripts, such as Oxford, Jesus College MS 29, and Cambridge, Emmanuel College MS 27. ii Subsequent chapters of the thesis draw out connections between lyrics and narrative events in Chaucer’s poetry, showing in a very different sense that lyric as a literary form reaches outward from the speaker to the narrative world itself, inviting narrative events to take place.

The argument focuses on the development of the songbook as a concrete, communal object that establishes a system of values for the reception of medieval lyric, including rhetorical, bibliographical, and phenomenological horizons. Moreover, this comparative study examines the role of songbooks in poetic attribution, canon formation and the concept of courtliness amidst the assimilation of new historical realities and material

    !!I SPANO-ARABIC POETRY, THE E_ROVENS:AL MEDIUM, AND MIDDLE ID'JGLISH LYRICS: SOME SIMILARITIES IN THEIR METRICAL PATTI:RNS, MOTIFS, IMAGERY, AND PHRASEOLOGY By ABDUL-SALAAM YACOOB YOUSIF I Bachelor of Arts University of Baghdad Baghdad, Iraq 1969 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS July, 1980 HISPANO-ARABIC POETRY, THE PROVEN9AL MEDIUM, AND MIDDLE ENGLISH LYRICS: SOME SIMILARITIES IN THEIR METRICAL PATTERNS, MOTIFS, IMAGERY, AND PHRASEOLOGY Thesis Approved: ii PREFACE In this paper I advance the thesis that certain aspects of Hispano­ Arabic poetry have influenced Medieval English poetry principally by way of the Proven9al poetry of the troubadours and of other European poetries. Although extensive studies have been published on the Arabic theory on the genesis of European vernacular poetry as well as on the influence of the troubadours on Medieval English poetry, no serious study, as far as I can ascertain, has been published showing the link between Hispano-Arabic and Middle English poetry. This thesis, I hope, should make a specific contribution to the field of comparative studies in Medieval European lit­ erature by demonstrating that some Hispano-Arabic elements can be seen in Middle English lyrics. The· thesis first discusses the impact of Medieval Arabic culture on Medieval Europe and the means through which the transmission of Arabic knowledge was effected. In it I review the theories on the origins of Romance vernacular poetry and of the courtly love tradition and examine the characteristics of Hispano-Arabic poetry, showing its influence on Romance vernacular poetries, especially on the Proven9al.

  • The Medieval Poetry Lecture No: 26 By: Prof. Sunita
    1 Subject: ENGLISH Class: B.A. Part 1 English Hons., Paper-1, Group B Topic: The Medieval Poetry Lecture No: 26 By: Prof. Sunita Sinha Head, Department of English Women’s College Samastipur L.N.M.U., Darbhanga Email: [email protected] Website: www.sunitasinha.com Mob No: 9934917117 “THE MEDIEVAL POETRY” INTRODUCTION: • With regard to the poetry of the Medieval epoch, it can be said that the literature created in those times is the guideline for the modern world. Understanding that the people living so long ago practically did not differ from the population of the modern world and had the same and sometimes even deeper perception of the beauty and the nature is something that each of us should learn. • Poems during the medieval era were religious in nature and written by clerics. They were used mostly in church and other religious events. Medieval poems were mainly read by minstrels. • According to scholars, literature in the Middle Ages was international rather than local. 2 • Medieval poetry was divided by lines of class and audience rather than language although, Latin was the language of the church and education. Medieval poetry in itself was very diverse. • The poetry of the medieval times can tell more than the history books taken altogether. It shows not only the facts of the Medieval Epoch, but also the way people saw the world, the way they shaped their relationship to the others, to the world and to the events that took place. CHARACTERISTICS OF MEDIEVAL POETRY • It is located in Europe. • It begins with the fall of the Roman Empire and ends at the beginning of the Renaissance.

  • THE IMAGE of the FOREST in the CARMINA BURANA Svetlana
    THE IMAGE OF THE FOREST IN THE CARMINA BURANA Svetlana Tsonkova Ever since its discovery in 1803, the poetry of Carmina Burana has fascinated and challenged scholars. A great deal of research has been dedicated to different aspects of this collection of medieval goliard poetry, especially to the love songs which made it justly famous. It seems, however, that with advancing research problems and questions continue to arise concerning the Carmina Burana. Surprising as it may seem, certain elements of the love songs have not yet been taken into consideration. The representation of the forest appears to be one of them. In this paper I examine the imaginary and mythical image of the forest and of sylvan space in two love songs of the Carmina Burana. It seems that the forest (called either nemus or silva) had both positive and negative aspects for medieval poets.1 What are the positive and the negative features in the image of the forest?
