 The Representation of Slavery in the Greek Novel Resistance and Appropriation【電子書籍】[ William M. Owens ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This volume offers the first comprehensive treatment of how the five canonical Greek novels represent slaves and slavery. In each novel, one or both elite protagonists are enslaved, and Owens explores the significance of the genre’s regular social degradation of these members of the elite.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Reading the novels in the context of social attitudes and stereotypes about slaves, Owens argues for an ideological division within the genre: the earlier novelists, Xenophon of Ephesus and Chariton, challenge and undermine elite stereotypes; the three later novelists, Longus, Achilles Tatius, and Heliodorus, affirm them. The critique of elite thinking about slavery in Xenophon and Chariton opens the possibility that these earlier authors and their readers included literate ex-slaves. The interests and needs of these authors and their readers shaped the emerging genre and not only made the protagonists’ slavery a key motif but also made slavery itself a theme that helped define the genre.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Representation of Slavery in the Greek Novel will be of interest not only to students of the ancient novel but also to anyone working on slavery in the ancient world.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 9,188円 |

 The Clerical Proletariat and the Resurgence of Medieval English Poetry【電子書籍】[ Kathryn Kerby-Fulton ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Despite the great literary achievements of Chaucer, Langland, and the ＜em＞Pearl＜/em＞ Poet, Ricardian English books were still a niche market in 1400. As Kathryn Kerby-Fulton shows, however, their generation was transformational in nurturing the resurgence of English writing, in part as a result of the mass underemployment of clerks originally trained for the church but unable to find steady positions in it. Surviving instead as ecclesiastical or choral "piece workers," or in secular jobs in government or private households, this "clerical proletariat" lived and worked in liminal spaces between the ecclesiastical and lay world. And there the most enterprising found new materialーand new audiencesーfor poetry in English.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Since English book production in London prior to 1380 was rare, Kerby-Fulton's study begins in the prior century with great regional poets, revealing their early experimentation with a new poetics of vocational crisis. Preoccupied with underemployment, patronage, careerist ambition, alienation, and changing literary fashion, these thirteenth-century writers were choosing the more ＜em＞avant garde＜/em＞ option of writing in English while feeling backwards to earlier tradition in works such as ＜em＞La?amon's Brut＜/em＞ and ＜em＞The Owl and the Nightingale＜/em＞. These early experimenters invoked semi-remembered literary forms in a still evolving written vernacular, breaking ground for Ricardian writers, who turned to these conventions during the massive clerical unemployment of the Great Schism era. Kerby-Fulton's is the first study of Langland's legacy of articulating an authorial employment crisis, and its echoes in Hoccleve and Audelay. It also uses new tools for uncovering proletarian writers in unattributed Middle English works, including the famous Harley 2253 lyrics, the "York Realist's" ＜em＞Second Trial＜/em＞ from the York Cycle, ＜em＞St. Erkenwald＜/em＞, and ＜em＞Wynnere and Wastour＜/em＞. Taking in proletarian themes, including class, meritocracy, the abuse of children ("Choristers' Lament"), the gig economy, precarity, and the breaking of intellectual elites (＜em＞Book of Margery Kempe＜/em＞), ＜em＞The Clerical Proletariat and the Resurgence of Medieval English Poetry＜/em＞ speaks to both past and present employment urgencies.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 9,130円 |

 The Prose Writings of Heinrich Heine Insightful Reflections on 19th-Century German Society and Culture【電子書籍】[ Heinrich Heine ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Heinrich Heine's "The Prose Writings of Heinrich Heine" is a remarkable compendium that showcases the author's mastery of prose alongside his renowned poetry. In this collection, Heine deftly navigates themes of love, politics, and the human condition, blending sharp wit with poignant social commentary. His literary style is characterized by its lyrical beauty, irony, and a distinct blend of Romantic and early Modernist influences, reflecting the tumultuous socio-political climate of 19th-century Europe. Through essays, stories, and reflections, Heine embarks on an exploration of identity and belonging, making this work significant not only in literary circles but also in understanding the cultural zeitgeist of his time.

Heine's sophisticated critique of Romantic ideals and his commitment to social justice reveal insights into the life of an intellectual caught between differing allegiances, shaping the rich tapestry of his prose. I enthusiastically recommend "The Prose Writings of Heinrich Heine" to readers interested in the intersections of poetry and prose, as well as those seeking to understand the complexities of 19th-century European literature.
