Helen Cooper traces romance motifs - quests and fairy mistresses, passionate heroines and rudderless boats and missing heirs - from the first emergence of the genre in French and Anglo-Norman in the 12th century to the early 17th century.The English Romance in Time is a study of English romance across the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. It explores romance motifs - quests and fairy mistresses, passionate heroines and rudderless boats and missing heirs - from the first emergence of the genre in French and Anglo-Norman in the twelfth century down to the early seventeenth. This is a continuous story, since the same romances that constituted the largest and most sophisticated body of secular fiction in the Middle Ages went on to enjoy a new and vibrant popularity at all social levels in black-letter prints as the pulp fiction of the Tudor age. This embedded culture was reworked for political and Reformation propaganda and for the 'writing of England', as well as providing a generous reservoir of good stories and dramatic plots. The different ways in which the same texts were read over several centuries, or the same motifs shifted meaning as understanding and usage altered, provide a revealing and sensitive measure of historical and cultural change. The book accordingly looks at those processes of change as well as at how the motifs themselves work, to offer a historical semantics of the language of romance conventions. It also looks at how politics and romance intersect - the point where romance comes true. The historicizing of the study of literature is belatedly leading to a wider recognition that the early modern world is built on medieval foundations. This book explores both the foundations and the building. Similarly, generic theory, which previously tended to operate on transhistorical assumptions, is now acknowledging that genre interacts crucially with cultural context - with changing audiences and ideologies and means of dissemination. The generation into which Spenser and Shakespeare were born was the last to be brought up on a wide range of medieval romances in their original forms, and they could therefore exploit their generic codings in new texts aimed at both elite and popular audiences. Romance may since then have lost much of its cultural centrality, but the universal appeal of these same stories has continued to fuel later works from Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress to C.S. Lewis and Tolkien.Romances, EnglishHistory and criticismEnglish literatureMiddle English, 1100-1500History and criticismEnglish literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismLiteratureeflchElectronic books.lcshRomances, EnglishHistory and criticism.English literatureHistory and criticism.English literatureHistory and criticism.Literature.821.03309Cooper Helen1947-1474109StDuBDSStDuBDSUkPrAHLSBOOK9910782863803321The English romance in time3687566UNINA03721pam 2200685 a 450 991095917140332120240430174443.01-280-84492-2(CKB)2450000000001865(MH)009482491-6(SSID)ssj0000285856(PQKBManifestationID)12070279(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000285856(PQKBWorkID)10321156(PQKB)11474781(MiAaPQ)EBC430475(EXLCZ)99245000000000186520040622d2005 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtccr"Myne owne ground" race and freedom on Virginia's Eastern Shore, 1640-1676 /T.H.

During the earliest decades of Virginia history, some men and women who arrived in the New World as slaves achieved freedom and formed a stable community on the Eastern shore. Holding their own with white neighbors for much of the 17th century, these free blacks purchased freedom for family members, amassed property, established plantations, and acquired laborers. T.H. Breen and Stephen Innes reconstruct a community in which ownership of property was as significant as skin color in structuring social relations. Why this model of social interaction in race relations did not survive makes this a critical and urgent work of history. In a new foreword, Breen and Innes reflect on the origins of this book, setting it into the context of Atlantic and particularly African history.African AmericansEastern Shore (Md. and Va.)History17th centuryAfrican AmericansVirginiaHistory17th centuryAfrican AmericansHistory17th centuryEastern Shore (Md. and Va.)African AmericansHistory17th centuryVirginiaUnited States Local HistoryHILCCRegions & Countries - AmericasHILCCHistory & ArchaeologyHILCCEastern Shore (Md. and Va.)Race relationsHistory17th centuryVirginiaRace relationsHistory17th centuryHistory.fastAfrican AmericansHistoryAfrican AmericansHistoryAfrican AmericansHistoryAfrican AmericansHistoryUnited States Local HistoryRegions & Countries - AmericasHistory & Archaeology975.5/100496073Breen T.
