The Bayeux Tapestry Collected Papers

The Bayeux Tapestry Collected Papers

This collection of fifteen papers ranges from the author's initial interest in the Tapestry as a source of information on early medieval dress through to her startling recognition of the embroidery's sophisticated narrative structure. Developing the work of previous authors who had identified graphic models for some of the images she argues that not just the images themselves but the contexts from which they were drawn should be taken in to account in 'reading' the messages of the Tapestry. In further investigating the minds and hands behind this the largest non-architectural artefact surviving from the Middle Ages she ranges over the seams the embroidery stitches the language and artistry of the inscription the potential significance of borders and the gestures of the figures in the main register always scrutinising detail informatively. She identifies an over-riding conception and house style in the Tapestry but also sees different hands at work in both needlecraft and graphics. Most intriguingly she recognises an sub-contractor with a Roman source and a clownish wit. The author is Professor of Anglo-Saxon Culture at The University of Manchester UK a specialist in Old English poetry Anglo-Saxon material culture and medieval dress and textiles. | The Bayeux Tapestry Collected Papers

Folk Women and Indirection in Morrison N Dhuibhne Hurston and Lavin

Folk Women and Indirection in Morrison N Dhuibhne Hurston and Lavin

Focusing on the lineage of pivotal African American and Irish women writers the author argues that these authors often employ strategies of indirection via folkloric expression when exploring unpopular topics. This strategy holds the attention of readers who would otherwise reject the subject matter. The author traces the line of descent from Mary Lavin to Éilís Ní Dhuibhne and from Zora Neale Hurston to Toni Morrison showing how obstacles to free expression though varying from those Lavin and Hurston faced are still encountered by Morrison and Ní Dhuibhne. The basis for comparing these authors lies in the strategies of indirection they use as influenced by folklore. The folkloric characters these authors depict-wild denizens of the Otherworld and wise women of various traditions-help their creators insert controversy into fiction in ways that charm rather than alienate readers. Forms of rhetorical indirection that appear in the context of folklore such as signifying practices masking sly civility and the grotesque or bizarre come out of the mouths and actions of these writers' magical and magisterial characters. Old traditions can offer new ways of discussing issues such as sexual expression religious beliefs or issues of reproduction. As differences between times and cultures affect what can and cannot be said folkloric indirection may open up a vista to discourses of which we as readers may not even be aware. Finally the folk women of Morrison Ní Dhuibhne Hurston and Lavin open up new points of entry to the discussion of fiction rhetoric censorship and folklore. | Folk Women and Indirection in Morrison N Dhuibhne Hurston and Lavin

Brümmer on Meaning and the Christian Faith Collected Writings of Vincent Brümmer

Brümmer on Meaning and the Christian Faith Collected Writings of Vincent Brümmer

This volume presents a wide-ranging selection from the writings of a leading contemporary philosophical theologian Vincent Brümmer. In his many books and articles Brümmer has demonstrated how the tools of philosophical analysis are not only fruitful but also essential for dealing with the central issues of systematic theology. The title of this volume Meaning and the Christian Faith highlights two characteristic themes that recur throughout the many writings of Vincent Brümmer. Much of his work has been devoted to exploring the meaning of the Christian faith and especially of its central claim that God is a personal being whose fellowship believers may enjoy. On the other hand Brümmer has also shown that religious belief should not be understood as an explanatory theory but rather as a way in which believers understand the meaning of their lives and their experience of the world and direct their lives accordingly. Thus in the Christian tradition believers claim that their lives are meaningful because they seek to attain ultimate happiness in the love of God. In the introductory sections throughout this volume Vincent Brümmer describes how he came to pay attention to the various themes dealt with in his writings and explains why he came to deal with them in the ways he did. | Brümmer on Meaning and the Christian Faith Collected Writings of Vincent Brümmer

Charlotte Brontë from the Beginnings New Essays from the Juvenilia to the Major Works

Charlotte Brontë from the Beginnings New Essays from the Juvenilia to the Major Works

Composed of serialized works poems short tales and novellas Charlotte Brontë's juvenilia merit serious scholarly attention as revelatory works in and of themselves as well as for what they tell us about the development of Brontë as a writer. This timely collection attends to both critical strands positioning Brontë as an author whose career encompassed the Romantic and Victorian eras and delving into the developing nineteenth century's literary concerns as well as the growth of the writer's mind. As the contributors show Brontë's authorship took shape among the pages of her juvenilia as figures from Brontë's childhood experience of the world such as Wellington and Napoleon transmuted to her fictional pages while her siblings' works and worlds both overlapped with and extended beyond her own. | Charlotte Brontë from the Beginnings New Essays from the Juvenilia to the Major Works

God's Order and Natural Law The Works of the Laudian Divines

God's Order and Natural Law The Works of the Laudian Divines

This title was first published in 2002. This book fills an important gap in the theological interpretation of the Laudian divines. Iain MacKenzie presents the theology of the Anglican theologians of the early 17th century exploring the concept of order first in God but then in creation in its relation to the Creator and then examining the working out of this concept based in theology in civil and ecclesiastical structures and practice. Mapping the Laudian divines' perceptions of how order primarily and necessarily resides in God existing as Father Son and Holy Spirit this book sets out the essential and necessarily practical application of theology as seen by 17th century theologians and traces the legacy which they have left. This theological as opposed to a merely historical or literary study of this important period for the development of society will be of particular value to theologians historians and those concerned with the intellectual history of the 17th century. | God's Order and Natural Law The Works of the Laudian Divines

Jungian Analysis Depth Psychology and Soul The Selected Works of Thomas B. Kirsch

Jungian Analysis Depth Psychology and Soul The Selected Works of Thomas B. Kirsch

Thomas Kirsch is one of the foremost architects of the contemporary Jungian scene and has influenced the evolution and organization of analytical psychology worldwide. His works on the history of Jungian analysis and his memoir of a Jungian life have been widely appreciated and this book contains important examples of these interests. Gathered together in The Selected Works are Kirsch’s original and humane contributions to diverse areas such as: training and the dynamics of analytical institutions; clinical themes in Jungian analysis and how these differ from what typically happens in psychoanalytic treatment; as well as a continuation of his remarkable work into the personalities and prejudices that characterize the profession of Jungian analysis. As Andrew Samuels observes in his foreword In these chapters we see Tom’s humanity generosity and flexibility. Given the multifarious dynamics of the training community Kirsch accepts that things can sometimes go wrong and he is open about his experiences in this regard. For Kirsch rather than a simple question of psychologically damaged people becoming analysts the figure of the Wounded Healer is always present in depth psychology. Kirsch is an exceptionally gifted communicator and several of these chapters stem from lectures and conference presentations. However behind the appearance of informality emerges not only a formidable intellect at work but a warm and compassionate perspective on the human condition. The Selected Works will be of vital interest to analysts therapists trainees academics and students working in the areas of Jungian analysis and Jungian studies around the world. | Jungian Analysis Depth Psychology and Soul The Selected Works of Thomas B. Kirsch

Place and Progress in the Works of Elizabeth Gaskell

Place and Progress in the Works of Elizabeth Gaskell

Critical assessments of Elizabeth Gaskell have tended to emphasise the regional and provincial aspects of her writing but the scope of her influence extended across the globe. Building on theories of space and place the contributors to this collection bring a variety of geographical industrial psychological and spatial perspectives to bear on the vast range of Gaskell’s literary output and on her place within the narrative of British letters and national identity. The advent of the railway and the increasing predominance of manufactory machinery reoriented the nation’s physical and social countenance but alongside the excitement of progress and industry was a sense of fear and loss manifested through an idealization of the country home the pastoral retreat and the agricultural south. In keeping with the theme of progress and change the essays follow parallel narratives that acknowledge both the angst and nostalgia produced by industrial progress and the excitement and awe occasioned by the potential of the empire. Finally the volume engages with adaptation and cultural performance in keeping with the continuing importance of Gaskell in contemporary popular culture far beyond the historical and cultural environs of nineteenth-century Manchester. | Place and Progress in the Works of Elizabeth Gaskell

For Robert Cooper Collected Work

For Robert Cooper Collected Work

Robert Cooper who died in 2013 was the leading theorist of organization working in England over the past few decades. Describing himself as a ‘social philosopher ’ he was one of the first writers to introduce post-structuralist and post-modern thought into theories of organization but was always reluctant to reduce what he did to being part of ‘Management. ’ Instead he concentrated on thinking about organizations and organizing working with ideas about entity and process views of organizations and also the dualisms of organization/environment organization/disorganization and concentrating particularly on ideas of the boundary or seam which divides and conjoins. He wrote about and was influenced by systems theory and post-structuralist philosophy particularly Whitehead Bateson Deleuze Derrida Foucault and Simmel. Cooper has already been the subject of much commentary but much of his work is not well known and it deserves a wider readership. The purpose of this collection is to gather together a body of essays which are widely dispersed in journals and edited collections. This is a repository of pieces and extracts which stand the test of time and scholars will benefit from a collection which pulls together some of his most influential work. The collection also contains two essays one biographical and one intellectual about Cooper and his work. | For Robert Cooper Collected Work
