Medieval Studies In America And American Medievalism, Herwig Wolfram
Medieval Studies In America And American Medievalism, Herwig Wolfram
Quidditas
As far as one can tell, Ernst Robert Curtius appears to have been the first Central European so fascinated by American interest in the Middle Ages that he promised a study on the subject. He called this particular interplay oof academic, amateur, and popular interest "American Medievalism." According to his bibliography, the projected work never appeared, but a lecture he was asked to present to an American audience in 1949 was published in both the North American and Hispano-American editions of his famous book European Literature and the Latin Middle Ages.
England's King Henry I And The Flemish Succession Crisis Of 1127-1128, Sandy B. Hicks
England's King Henry I And The Flemish Succession Crisis Of 1127-1128, Sandy B. Hicks
Quidditas
Historians have long appreciated the political significance of the Flemish Succession Crisis of 1127-28 upon the development of both Flanders and Capetian France. Anglo-Norman specialists, though, have generally overlooked the critical impact this crisis had upon the latter years of the reign of King Henry I and, indeed, upon the future direction of the Anglo-Norman state. This paper will examine why Henry judged the crisis as a threat to the very survival of his own realm, how he responded to it, and why is was of such importance to England and Normandy.
The Christian Context Of Rebirth In La Naissance Du Chevalier Au Cygne, George L. Evans Jr.
The Christian Context Of Rebirth In La Naissance Du Chevalier Au Cygne, George L. Evans Jr.
Quidditas
The technique of composition through analogy, a distinctive trait of the Old French romance as affirmed by Eugene Vinaver in the Rise of Romance, is a major feature of La Naissance du Chevalier au Cygne, which is structured by the epic laisse. Written in the late twelfth or early thirteenth century to serve as a preface to the Old French Crusade Cycle, the NChCy recounts the birth of the Swan Knight, the legendary grandfather of Godefroy de Bouillon, hero of the First Crusade. The poem also relates the metamorphosis of the future Swan Knight and his five …
Matrimony And Change In Webster's The Duchess Of Malfi, Margaret L. Mikesell
Matrimony And Change In Webster's The Duchess Of Malfi, Margaret L. Mikesell
Quidditas
Profound changes occurred in the institution of marriage during the Renaissance. Love was gradually replacing fiscal and dynastic considerations as the foundation considered crucial for a binding union. The love marriage was largely a middle-class phenomenon, born of the changing relationship between the family and the state, articulated and refined by Protestant divines, and diffused through aristocratic society. Drama of the period is much concerned with this shift. The bourgeois conjunction of love and marriage triumphs in the aristocratic societies of many a romantic comedy. The weddings at play's end promise a new social order. The disintegration of the old …
Catharsis In Aristotle, The Renaissance, And Elsewhere, Thomas Clayton
Catharsis In Aristotle, The Renaissance, And Elsewhere, Thomas Clayton
Quidditas
In an essay on "Shakespeare and the Kinds of Drama," Stephen Orgel presents an appealing and sympathetic view of Renaissance dramatic-generic theory and practice as original, capacious, and flexible, concluding that, "like Scaliger, Shakespeare thought of genres not as sets of rules but as sets of expectations and possibilities." In relation to this finding, we should perhaps be content to be "unclear about tragic catharsis," because "at least we know it is there, convincing us that tragedy works—even if we do not know how or on whom" (p.120). As the Renaissance read Aristotle, "tragedy achieved its end by purging …

The Celestial Sign On Constantine's Shields At The Battle Of The Mulvian Bridge, Charles Odahl
The Celestial Sign On Constantine's Shields At The Battle Of The Mulvian Bridge, Charles Odahl
Quidditas
Most scholars now accept the reality and sincerity of Constantine's conversion to Christianity during his military campaign against Maxentius for control of Rome in A.D. 312—provided that "conversion" is understood in terms of the superstitious religious environment of the times. The ancient pagan and Christian sources that described the campaign all agreed that the war was waged in an atmosphere of intense religious fervor, even superstitiosa maleficia as one source described it, and that each commander appealed to divine power for aid against his enemy. Christian accounts of the campaign reported that Constantine turned to the Christian God at this …
