1996 Allen D. Breck Award Winner: Narration And Quattrocento Annunciation Paintings, Joseph D. Parry Jan 1995

1996 Allen D. Breck Award Winner: Narration And Quattrocento Annunciation Paintings, Joseph D. Parry

Quidditas

Quattrocento Annunciation paintings are particularly useful in offering us a better understanding of the nature of narration in Renaissance art. When we describe the narration in Renaissance art. When we describe the narrative construction of the Annunciation in the work of quattrocento painters, a Fra Angelico, a Fra FIlippo Lippi, or a Sandro Botticelli, we know, of course that the Annunciation as a narrative ultimately resides in the language of St. Luke's Gospel; though in being told and retold, it easily takes on a life of its own in oral transmissions, in paraphrasings in sermons, in elaborations in scriptural commentaries, …

The Cavendishes, The Evelyns, And Teasing In Verse And Prose, James Fitzmaurice Jan 1995

The Cavendishes, The Evelyns, And Teasing In Verse And Prose, James Fitzmaurice

Quidditas

It is often noted by those who study seventeenth-century women writers that Mary Evelyn, wife to the famous diarist, pronounced Margaret Cavendish, duchess of Newcastle, "rambling as her books, aiming at science, difficulties, high notions, terminating commonly in nonsense, oaths, and obscenity." Such evidence is sometimes used to show that Margaret Cavendish deserved to be called "Mad Madge of Newcastle," an epithet that frequently made its way into biographical references to her in after ages. Nevertheless, it as easily might be the case Mary Evelyn was merely a little miffed with the attentions her husband, John, paid the not unattractive …

The Trinity Gild Of Coventry And The Royal Affinity, 1392-1413, Douglas Biggs Jan 1995

The Trinity Gild Of Coventry And The Royal Affinity, 1392-1413, Douglas Biggs

Quidditas

Perhaps the principal difficulty that all late-medieval monarchs faced centered on the process by which royal wishes and needs were transformed into governmental reality in local communities throughout the kingdom. This process, long ignored by historians, has in the past forty years received increasing attention. Most of this attention, following K. B. McFarlane's "Bastard Feudal" construct, has focused on personal relationships between the king or a magnate and local gentry.

The Rest After The Desert: Ending Confessions, George S. Tate Jan 1995

The Rest After The Desert: Ending Confessions, George S. Tate

Quidditas

Augustine, it seems, ends the Confessions twice: the first time neatly at the conclusion of Book 9; the second, problematically, at the end of Book 13. The first ending is an autobiographical ending, but what of the second? The structural and generic unity of the Confessions is a vexed issue, even though its coherence of theme is increasingly recognized. If the work is unified, is it unified as autobiography? If (as I argue) Augustine had come to find the conversion paradigm of his first ending to be unsatisfactory and had exploded it by adopting a new and dangerous strategy in …

"Withoute Words": The Medieval Lady Dreams In The Assembly Of Ladies, Colleen Donnelly Jan 1994

"Withoute Words": The Medieval Lady Dreams In The Assembly Of Ladies, Colleen Donnelly

Quidditas

Two poems, The Assembly of Ladies and The Floure and the Leafe, are unique among Middle English dream visions due to the gender of their narrators; both are narrated by women. In his edition of these two poems, Derek Pearsall argues that whether they were told by women or not is really of little importance. There are many examples of men, such as Lydgate and Deschamps, writing as women. However, while men may speak for women in other types of poems, a woman narrator of Middle English dream vision survives only in these two poems. Moreover, as Alexandra Barratt …

Guinevere's Kidneys, Or The Lancelot–Grail Cycle And The Rise Of Realism, Norris J. Lacy Jan 1994

Guinevere's Kidneys, Or The Lancelot–Grail Cycle And The Rise Of Realism, Norris J. Lacy

Quidditas

One of the most remarkable monuments of medieval literature in any language is the thirteenth-century French Lancelot–Grail Cycle (also called the Prose Lancelot, the Vulgate Cycle of Arthurian Romance, or the Pseudo-Map Cycle—the last because the texts identify the author as Walter Map, who complicated matters, however, by dying well before the cycle was written). Before turning to the subject indicated in my title, I'll situate the cycle and offer a few details about its phenomenal importance.
