Medieval Romance is the first study to focus on the deep philosophical underpinnings of the genre's fictional worlds. James F. Knapp and Peggy A. Knapp uniquely utilize Leibniz's "possible worlds" theory, Kant's aesthetic reflections, and Gadamer's writings on the apprehension of language over time, to bring the romance genre into critical dialogue with fundamental questions of philosophical aesthetics, modal logic, and the hermeneutics of literary transmission. The authors' compelling and illuminating analysis of six instances of medieval secular writing, including that of Marie de France, the Gawain-poet, and Chaucer demonstrates how the extravagantly imagined worlds of romance invite reflection about the nature of the real. These stories, which have delighted readers for hundreds of years, do so because the impossible fictions of one era prefigure desired realities for later generations."--$cProvided by publisher 606 $aRomances, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$yMiddle English, 1100-1500$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aRomances, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a821.109 700 $aKnapp$b James , $01803629 702 $aKnapp$b Peggy, 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970726603321 996 $aMedieval Romance$94351264 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02935nam 22005775 450 001 9910255228803321 005 20251030102150.0 010 $a9781137510570 010 $a1137510579 024 7 $a10.1057/978-1-137-51057-0 035 $a(CKB)4340000000061374 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4901601 035 $a(DE-He213)978-1-137-51057-0 035 $a(Perlego)3487822 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6237189 035 $a(EXLCZ)994340000000061374 100 $a20170706d2016 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe Literary Culture of Plague in Early Modern England /$fby Kathleen Miller 205 $a1st ed. 2016. 210 1$aLondon :$cPalgrave Macmillan UK :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2016. 215 $a1 online resource (247 pages) $cillustrations 225 1 $aEarly Modern Literature in History,$x2634-5927 311 08$a9781137510563 311 08$a1137510560 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $a1.

Conclusion: Recalling the Plague of 1665 in Later Literary Culture -- Bibliography -- Index.-. 330 $aThis book is about the literary culture that emerged during and in the aftermath of the Great Plague of London (1665). Textual transmission impacted upon and simultaneously was impacted by the events of the plague. This book examines the role of print and manuscript cultures on representations of the disease through micro-histories and case studies of writing from that time, interpreting the place of these media and the construction of authorship during the outbreak. The macabre history of plague in early modern England largely ended with the Great Plague of London, and the miscellany of plague writings that responded to the epidemic forms the subject of this book. 410 0$aEarly Modern Literature in History,$x2634-5927 606 $aEuropean literature$yRenaissance, 1450-1600 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aEuropean Literature 615 0$aEuropean literature 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 14$aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature. 615 24$aLiterary History. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 676 $a820.93561 700 $aMiller$b Kathleen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063636 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255228803321 996 $aThe Literary Culture of Plague in Early Modern England$92533311 997 $aUNINA
