Locating the Middle Ages: The Spaces and Places of Medieval Culture (Kings College London Medieval Studies (KCLMS), 23)

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (33043 ratings)

Description:This interdisciplinary collection of sixteen essays explores the significance of space and place in Late Antique and medieval culture, as well as modern reimaginings of medieval topographies. Its case studies draw on a wide variety of critical approaches and cover architecture, the visual arts (painting and manuscript illumination), epic, romance, historiography, hagiography, cartography, travel writing, as well as modern English poetry. Challenging simplistic binaries of East and West, self and other, Muslim and Christian, the volume addresses the often unexpected roles played by space and place in the construction of individual and collective identities in religious and secular domains. The essays move through world spaces (mappaemundi, the exotic and the mundane East, the Mediterranean); empires, nations, and frontier zones; cities (Avignon, Jerusalem, and Reval); and courts, castles and the architecture of subjectivity, closing with modern visions of the medieval world. They explore human movement in space and the construction of time and place in memory. Taking up pressing contemporary issues such as nationalism, multilingualism, multiculturalism and confessional relations, they find that medieval material provides narratives that we can use today in our negotiations with the past. Contributors: Richard Talbert, Paul Freedman, Sharon Kinoshita, Luke Sunderland, Julian Weiss, Sarah Salih, Konstantin Klein, Katie Clark, Elizabeth Monti, Elina Gertsman, Elina Rasanen, Geoff Rector, Nicolay Ostrau, Andrew Cowell, Joshua Davies, Chris Jones, Matthew Francis.Contents:1 Peutinger's Map Before Peutinger: Circulation and Impact, AD 300-15002 Locating the Exotic3 Locating the Medieval Mediterranean4 Multilingualism and Empire in L'Entrée d'Espagne5 Remembering Spain in the Medieval European Epic: A Prospect6 Lydgate's Landscape History7 The Politics of Holy Space: Jerusalem in the Theodosian Era (379-457 CE)8 Redefining Space in Early Fourteenth-Century Avignon: The St-Etienne Episode9 Locating Legitimacy: Architectural Patronage in Schismatic Avignon10 Locating the Body in Late Medieval Revival11 Literary Leisure and the Architectural Spaces of Early Anglo-Norman Literature12 Enclosures of Love: Locating Emotion in the Arthurian Romances Yvain/Iwein13 The Subjectivity of Space: Walls and Castles in La Prise d'Orange14 Relocating Anglo-Saxon England: Places of the Past in Basil Bunting's Briggflatts and Geoffrey Hill's Mercian Hymns15 Recycling Anglo-Saxon Poetry: Richard Wilbur's `Junk' and a Self Study16 Rewriting Mandeville's TravelsWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
