Le Turpin francais, de le Turpin I - Ronald Noel Walpole - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Le Turpin francais, de le Turpin I - Ronald Noel Walpole - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Vers le milieu du douzième siècle un clerc inconnu se faisant appeler Turpin, archevêque de Reims, écrivit une ‘histoire’ de ‘Charlemagne et Roland’ en latin. L’inconnu s’identifia à Turpin, guerrier saint et aime de la Chanson de Roland; à son personnage inspire d’un Charlemagne déjà monarque légendaire et emblème vivant de cet idéal tant envié du roi bon et fort, il donna pour compagnons Roland et ses pairs et, ayant traversé avec ceux-ci et avec l’armée des croises les épreuves des guerres d’Espagne, il écrivit la vérité sur tout ce qu’ils avaient fait et enduré ensemble. Cependant, l’invention majeure du pseudo-Turpin est d’avoir fait de St Jacques le génie tutélaire de la croisade de Charlemagne en Espagne, le bon ange qui arrive miraculeusement au bon moment et enfin, l’intercesseur qui obtient le salut ultime de Charlemagne. La matière de laquelle le pseudo-Turpin puisa son récit est cette tradition épique française dont une partie nous est esquissée aujourd’hui, seulement dans son œuvre. Les épisodes de cette croisade, qui dura quatorze ans, furent empruntés à l’épopée : ici, on pense surtout à la Chanson de Roland et à sa grande tragédie de Roncevaux transformée, de poésie qu’elle était, en historie contrefaite et en fausse piété. Nous avons dans Turpin 1 cette histoire-là. Elle fut traduite vers 1210—20 en français, en prose, celle-ci devenant de plus en plus le véhicule privilégie par les raconteurs. La traduction n’existe plus dans sa forme originale, mais le manuscrit qui a servi de base au présent ouvrage reste fidèle au texte latin, en plus d’être rédigé en prose claire et incisive. Les copies du manuscrit, neuf en tout, montrent avec quelle liberté les scribes manipulaient la langue de l’original. Dans une rédaction de notre Turpin I – une rédaction représentée par six manuscrits et reproduite intégralement en appendice dans cette édition – la préméditation associée à l’intervention des scribes revêt plus d’importance. Vers la fin de la chronique, cette fois, on introduit St. Denis, que l’on pose en rival a St Jacques en lui confiant le rôle qui non seulement assure le salut de l’Empereur, mais accroit l’importance de L’Abbaye de St-Denis a la fois comme siège politique et comme véritable cœur de la France.

Giuseppe De Santis - Antonio Vitti - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Giuseppe De Santis - Antonio Vitti - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

One of the founding fathers of the Neo-realist movement and a Communist dedicated to populist filmmaking, Guiseppe De Santis (b. 1917) has been a significant force in Italian cinema. In spite of his crucial contribution De Santis has received little critical recognition and his work has been largely excluded from the canon of traditional cinematic teaching. In this first book-length study of De Santis, Antonio Vitti explores the filmmaker''s life and work, and addresses why he has been marginalized as a result of the politics of critical reception in Italian cinema and within the academy. Through critical analysis of such films as Riso amaro (Bitter Rice), Non c''è pace tra gli ulivi ( No Peace Among the Olives), and Cesta Duga Godinu Dana (The One-Year-Long Road), Vitti offers an informative profile of a director who refused to compromise what were often unpopular political and aesthetic principles. De Santis emerged as a strong opponent of government censorship in Fascist Italy and strove throughout his career to remain faithful to his political objectives: to create a genuine popular narrative voice, and to offer, through filmmaking, a form of entertainment for the masses and a means of promoting social and political change. At the same time, possessed of considerable technical abilities and a passion for formalized beauty and sensuality, De Santis resisted the rigid rules for socio-realistic representation dictated by the Soviet Union. He conformed neither to the mainstream nor to the leftist critical expectations of his day. He anticipated, in his own critical approach, the direction of contemporary film theory, and focused on the role of the medium itself as a means of mass communication and a repository of collective imagination. Vitti draws on his extensive personal interviews with De Santis as well as on the latter''s previously unpublished writings. This volume captures the intelligence, passion, aesthetic flair, and occasionally fiery temperament of this important filmmaker.

A Frenchman in Search of Franklin - Emile Frederic De Bray - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

A Frenchman in Search of Franklin - Emile Frederic De Bray - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

In April 1852 Emile Frederic de Bray sailed down the Thames on board the Resolute, part of Sie Edward Belcher''s Arctic Squadron in search of Sir John Franklin and his men, missing since the summer of 1845. De Bray''s diaries of his years with Resolute have not been published before, in any language, and only one other account of this particular Franklin search expedition exists. Enseigne-de-vaisseau de Bray, seconded at his own request from the French navy, was something of a rarity among those who made up the search parties: he was not British. (One of his shipmates hopes for the best: ''The Frenchman does not seem an Englishman,'' he observed, ''but I suppose he will improve on acquaintance.'') Cape de Bray on the northwest coast of Melville Island commemorates the efforts of this intrepid French officer, who gained the respect of his fellows, was made an officer of the Legion d''Honneur by Napolean III, and was awarded the Arctic Medal by Queen Victoria. William Barr provides an introduction, postscript, and extensive notes, placing de Bray and the expedition in context. This volume tells us much about the life the Europeans led in the unexplored and frozen northern waters.

Andres Gonzalez de Barcia and the Creation of the Colonial Spanish American Library - Jonathan Carlyon - Bog - University of Toronto Press -

Andres Gonzalez de Barcia and the Creation of the Colonial Spanish American Library - Jonathan Carlyon - Bog - University of Toronto Press -

One of early Enlightenment Spain's most important scholars, Andrés González de Barcia (1673-1743) produced more than two dozen critical editions of some of Spain's most significant works on the New World, many of which were already rare when he published them. In this highly original new book, Jonathan E. Carlyon traces González de Barcia's work as editor, bibliographer, and author, focusing on his program of scholarly republication that resulted in the creation of the first comprehensive colonial Spanish American library. González de Barcia established his collection to provide the historiography of the period with an order and clarity. He sought to underline what he considered to be the truth regarding colonial Spain by supplying his editions with marginal notes, prefatory writings, and scholarly indices. In so doing, he prepared the foundation for the modern study of colonial Spanish American letters. Andrés González de Barcia and the Creation of the Colonial Spanish American Library is an investigation into González de Barcia and his editorial agenda. It is essential to understanding the nature and importance of this great scholar and his contribution to the development of Spanish historiography, bibliography, and book history.

Social Working - Gerald De Montigny - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Social Working - Gerald De Montigny - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

In this unique work directed at social workers, Gerald A.J. de Montigny maintains that they, along with other professionals, create an `institutional'' reality through their day-to-day practices. He traces the practical ways that social workers, when involved in child protection, struggle to produce a world which can be ordered, systematized, and subjected to their powers. It is a penetrating and sensitive analysis of how social workers in their everyday practice make sense from a confusing collection of case details to create organizationally defined problems and cases. De Montigny uses the tension between his experience of growing up ''working class'' and the difficult process of becoming a social worker to explore the practical activities professionals use to secure organizational power and authority over clients. This tension has forced him to confront the dilemma of how to stand on the side of clients when standing inside professional and organizational realities. In the first half of the book, de Montigny focuses on the practices social workers use to produce a universalized professional form of knowledge. He examines social workers'' use of ideological practices; fetishization of the social work profession; insertion of details from clients'' lives into discursive order; accounting for front-line practice as a problem solving scientific practice; and naming of their own frustrations, conflicts, tensions, and pain as professionally manageable phenomena. In the second half of the book, based on his own work in child protection, he systematically examines how such reality-producing practices come to be expressed as child protection. He develops a synthetic account of his social work interventions on cases of child abuse and neglect. This book should be read by all practitioners and students of social work. It is an original and practical application of theoretical arguments to the everyday reality of social work.

Two Women of the Great Schism – The Revelations of Constance de Rabastens by Raymond de Sabanac and Life of the Blessed Ursulina of Parma by Simone Za

Two Women of the Great Schism – The Revelations of Constance de Rabastens by Raymond de Sabanac and Life of the Blessed Ursulina of Parma by Simone Za

The Great Schism (1378–1417) divided Western Christendom into two groups: those who recognized a pope in Rome and those who recognized one in Avignon. It was a crisis of authority that brought with it spiritual anxiety and political uproar. This book presents the responses of two fascinating women whose experiences demonstrate the impact of the Schism on ordinary Christians. Constance de Rabastens (active 1384–1386), who lived in a village in rural Languedoc, had dramatic visions indicting the Avignon pope Clement VII, despite his being recognized in her region. Ursulina of Parma (1375–1408), a diminutive young woman from an urban milieu in Italy, believed that she was commanded by Christ to engage in shuttle diplomacy between the Roman and Avignon papacies in order to end the Schism. Two Women of the Great Schism translates an account of Constance’s visionary experiences as recorded by her confessor Raymond de Sabanac and a posthumous biography of Ursulina by Simone Zanacchi, a pious abbot who wrote some sixty years after his subject’s death. These texts bring to life the extraordinary spiritual and political engagement of two late medieval women who refused to be passive bystanders as rival papal factions tore Christendom apart.

Garcilaso de la Vega and the Material Culture of Renaissance Europe - Mary E Barnard - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Garcilaso de la Vega and the Material Culture of Renaissance Europe - Mary E Barnard - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Garcilaso de la Vega and the Material Culture of Renaissance Europe examines the role of cultural objects in the lyric poetry of Garcilaso de la Vega, the premier poet of sixteenth-century Spain. As a pioneer of the “new poetry” of Renaissance Europe, aligned with the court, empire, and modernity, Garcilaso was fully attuned to the collection and circulation of luxury artefacts and other worldly goods. In his poems, a variety of objects, including tapestries, paintings, statues, urns, mirrors, and relics participate in lyric acts of discovery and self-revelation, reveal memory as contingent and unstable, expose knowledge of the self as deceptive, and show how history intersects with the ideology of empire. Mary E. Barnard’s study argues persuasively that the material culture of early sixteenth-century Europe embedded within Garcilaso’s poems offers a key to understanding the interplay between objects and texts that make those works such vibrant inventions.

An Unamuno Source Book - Maria Elena De Valdes - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

An Unamuno Source Book - Maria Elena De Valdes - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Miguel de Unamuno (d. 1936), one of the most influential of modern Spanish writers and thinkers, has been described as Spain’s richest mind of the twentieth century. This book provides a bibliography of the approximately 5,700 books in his private library in Salamanca and includes most of his readings and acquisitions. Also listed are at least 2,000 more books from a personal catalogue kept by Unamuno, which have been collated with the present collection. Since Unamuno read in vast and indiscriminate quantities, an organized approach to his library is essential for determining the full dimensions of his intellectual stimulation. An introductory essay by Mario J. Valdes makes an original contribution to the study of Unamuno by analysing intensively the methodology used in his readings, and relating them to his thought. This source book provides answers to many diverse questions about Unamuno and his works, for example: Which newspapers did Unamuno write in? How interested was he in literature from the United States? Did he read Kierkegaard in Spanish? What about Kant?  Did he read Catalan? An appendix correlates the catalogue of readings to the Vergara edition of Unamuno’s Obras completas.

Dramatizing Dido, Circe, and Griselda - Louise Geneviev Gillot De Sainc - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Dramatizing Dido, Circe, and Griselda - Louise Geneviev Gillot De Sainc - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

One of the most acclaimed French poets from the turn of the eighteenth century and one of the rare women of the time to achieve recognition at court, Louise-Geneviève Gillot de Sainctonge was France’s first female librettist. The current volume provides not only the most in-depth biography of her ever published, but also the first appearance of any of her work in English. It features her two tragic opera libretti, both of which were set to music and staged at the Opéra, a spoken play that constitutes an important precursor of tearful comedy, and a small sampling of her poetry. The three dramatic works give thoughtful portrayals of women of high rank who exemplify traits such as fidelity, integrity and forthrightness, only to find themselves powerless in a misogynist society, where the male heroes turn out to be inglorious. —Perry GethnerNorris Professor of French, Oklahoma State University

Cervantes' Architectures - Frederick A. De Armas - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Cervantes' Architectures - Frederick A. De Armas - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Cervantes’ Architectures is the first book dedicated to architecture in Cervantes’ prose fiction. At a time when a pandemic is sweeping the world, this book reflects on the danger outside by concentrating on the role of enclosed structures as places where humans may feel safe, or as sites of beauty and harmony that provide solace. At the same time, a number of the architectures in Cervantes trigger dread and claustrophobia as they display a kind of shapelessness and a haunting aura that blends with the narrative. This volume invites readers to discover hundreds of edifices that Cervantes built with the pen. Their variety is astounding. The narrators and characters in these novels tell of castles, fortifications, inns, mills, prisons, palaces, towers, and villas which appear in their routes or in their conversations, and which welcome them, amaze them, or entrap them. Cervantes may describe actual buildings such as the Pantheon in Rome, or he may imagine structures that metamorphose before our eyes, as we come to view one architecture within another, and within another, creating an abyss of space. They deeply affect the characters as they feel enclosed, liberated, or suspended or as they look upon such structures with dread, relief, or admiration. Cervantes'' Architectures sheds light on how places and spaces are perceived through words and how impossible structures find support, paradoxically, in the literary architecture of the work.

Inscribed Power - Ryan D. Giles - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

In Inscribed Power, Ryan D. Giles explores the function of amuletic prayers, divine names, and incantation formulas that were inscribed and printed on parchment, paper and other media, and at the same time inserted into classic literary works in Spain. Giles’ insightful analysis of the intersection between amulets and literary texts offers fresh and original interpretations of well-known texts such as the Poema de mío Cid, the Libro de Alexandre, the Libro de buen amor, Celestina, Lazarillo de Tormes, and the Buscón. Inscribed Power is a fascinating work that highlights specific amuletic texts that were used to heal, protect, or otherwise provide a blessing or curse to discover how their powers could influence fictional lives at different moments in the development of Spanish literature.
