Sinossi
Based on papers delivered at the 2006 International Medieval Congress, held in Leeds, the UK, the 13 essays of this collection describe individual examples of the popular figure of the fool in art and literature. Gawain and the green knight, Der Pfaffe Amis, Wace's Roman de Rou, Lawman's Brut, Tristan romances, and, of course, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales are among the texts investigated. A unifying theme to the papers is the nature of laughter, humor, and folly and how historical examples can still be found funny today. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.

Behaving Like Fools (Hardcover)
Da: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The period from 1200 to 1600 was the golden age of fools. From representations of irreverent acts to full-blown insanity, fools appeared on the misericords of gothic churches and in the plots of Arthurian narratives, before achieving a wider prominence in literature and iconography in the decades around 1500. But how are we to read these figures appropriately? Is it possible to reconstruct the fascination that fools exerted on the medieval and early modern mind? While modern theories give us the analytical tools to explore this subject, we are faced with the paradox that by striving to understand fools and foolishness we no longer accept their ways but impose rational categories on them. Together these essays propose one way out of this dilemma. Instead of attempting to define the fool or trying to find the common denominator behind his many masks, this volume focuses on the qualities, acts, and gestures that signify foolishness. By investigating different manifestations of foolery rather than the figure of the fool himself, we can begin to understand the proliferation of fools and foolish behaviour in the texts and illustrations of manuscripts and early books. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9782503531571
