Edward Ii And The Tactics Of Kingship, Carolyn P. Schriber
Edward Ii And The Tactics Of Kingship, Carolyn P. Schriber
Quidditas
Edward II (1307-1327) succeeded to the throne of England at a crucial time. In 1307 England was at war with Scotland and faced threats of further trouble in Wales and Gascony. In addition his father had left him a debt-ridden country in which the barons were beginning to recognize their potential for governmental control through financial blackmail. The country's finances were overextended, but the baronage and clergy had been resisting royal demands for increased taxation. If Edward II were to continue his father's policies and pursue the war in Scotland, as the barons wished, he would be forced to give …

"With Holy Importunitie, With A Pious Impudencie": John Donne's Attempts To Provoke Election, Raymond-Jean Frontain
"With Holy Importunitie, With A Pious Impudencie": John Donne's Attempts To Provoke Election, Raymond-Jean Frontain
Quidditas
Donne's use of the imperative when addressing God in the Divine Poems is a maneuver designed to resolve a particularly Protestant dilemma, the same dilemma confronted by the speaker of Elegy 19 under another guise. As C. L. barber and Richard P. Wheeler have pointed out, the reformers' dismantling of "much of the Catholic apparatus of worship in order to isolate the individual worshiper in direct rapport with God through faith...put worshippers at risk in new ways. In areas where the Reformation triumphed, extraordinary anxiety could be generated by the absolute importance conferred upon the individual's faith in the grace …
The Mystic As Pilgrim: Margery Kempe And The Tradition Of Nonfictional Travel Narrative, James P. Helfers
The Mystic As Pilgrim: Margery Kempe And The Tradition Of Nonfictional Travel Narrative, James P. Helfers
Quidditas
Margery Kempe, fifteenth-century pilgrim and female mystic, stirred up controversy in her own day and continues to do so in the present. This controversy, then and now, centers on both Margery's spiritual life and its social expression. While she was alive, her contemporaries disagreed over the validity of her mystical experience and the way that experience manifested itself; now this conflict continues in contemporary critical debates over the nature of her literary and spiritual significance. The Book of Margery Kempe has heretofore been analyzed as autobiography, mystical treatise, devotional manual, and feminist tract. Clarissa Atkinson, for instance, sees the book …

The Artist As Entrepreneur: Long-Term Professional Bonds In Quattrocento Florence, Yael Even
The Artist As Entrepreneur: Long-Term Professional Bonds In Quattrocento Florence, Yael Even
Quidditas
A number of comparatively recent publications on collaboration in Quattrocento art attest to the renewed interest in reassessing the nature of professional exchange among artist. These studies continue to shed more light on the prevalence and extent of collaborative artistic undertakings in Florence during this period. Originating in archival research, the studies reject the romanticized, traditional view of Early Renaissance painters, sculptors, and architects as solitary geniuses, suggesting instead that these creative talents operated as entrepreneurs who collaborated to establish profitable careers.

Moral Lessons For Women Readers Of Jean Lemaire De Belges's Les Illustrations De Gaule Et Singularitez De Troye, Judy Kem
Quidditas
Jean Lemaire de Belges (1473-1525), poet and historiographer of the French and Burgundian courts of the early Renaissance, wrote his epic history of Troy, Les Illustrations de Gaule et singularitez de Troye (1511-1513), at the request of his patron, Margaret of Austria, to offer an "occupation voluptueuse, et non pas inutile" [sensual yet useful occupation] to the ladies of France (1:11). Lemaire dedicated each of the three books of his epic to a different noblewoman. Mercury, who narrates the prologues of all three volumes, identifies each noblewoman with one of the three goddesses of the Judgment of Paris: Margaret of …

Mythological Lovers In Chaucer's Troilus And Criseyde, Katherine Heinrichs
Mythological Lovers In Chaucer's Troilus And Criseyde, Katherine Heinrichs
Quidditas
Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde is often criticized by modern scholars for the abruptness of its epilogue rejecting earthly love. Paull Baum objects that the moral of the epilogue is not, in fact, the moral of the tale and suggests that Chaucer might better have concluded in the manner of the stilnovisti, with Criseyde as a transfigured "gloriosa donna." J. S. P. Tatlock protests that "the feeling of the Epilog is in no way foreshadowed at the beginning or elsewhere; it does not illumine or modify; it contradicts. The heartfelt worldly tale is interpreted in an unworldly sense." He is …
