The Arthurian legend lives on as powerfully and enduringly as ever. Yet there is an aspect to this myth which has been neglected, but which is perhaps its most potent part of all. For central to the Arthurian stories are the mysterious, sexually alluring enchantresses, the spellcasters and mistresses of magic who wield extraordinary influence over Arthur's life and destiny, bestriding the Camelot mythology with a dark and brooding presence. Carolyne Larrington brings these dangerous women vibrantly to life. Here is Morgan-le-Fay, a complex sorceress of great cunning and skill, immortalised by Helen Mirren's Morgana in John Boorman's film "Excalibur". Here too are the mystical Lady of the Lake; the beguiling Viviane, Merlin's deadly nemesis; and Morgause, Queen of Orkney, mother to Mordred, Arthur's incestuously-conceived son and his bitterest foe. Echoing the search for the Grail by the knights of the Round Table, Larrington takes her readers on an intriguing quest of her own - to discover why Arthurian enchantresses continue to bewitch us. Her journey takes in the enchantresses as they appear in poetry and painting, in politics and the theatre, on the Internet and TV, in high culture and popular culture. Whether they be chaste or depraved, necrophiliacs or virgins, benevolent or filled with hatred, the enchantresses represent a strain of femininity which continually challenges male chivalric values from within. These women are survivors. They outlive the collapse of Camelot and all it stands for. And it is as archetypal manifestations of the feared, uncontainable Other that they continue to inspire admiration, fright and fascination in equal measure. King Arthur's Enchantresses makes a unique contribution to contemporary writing on the Arthurian myths. It will intrigue and delight anyone with an interest in mythology, religion, cultural history and medieval literature."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aArthurian romances$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLegends$zGreat Britain 606 $aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMagic in literature 606 $aMorgan le Fay (Legendary character)$vRomances$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen in literature 606 $aWomen$xMythology 606 $aHistory$2BIC 615 0$aArthurian romances$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLegends 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMagic in literature. 615 0$aMorgan le Fay (Legendary character)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen in literature. 615 0$aWomen$xMythology. 615 7$aHistory. 676 $a398.352 676 $a820.9351 700 $aLarrington$b Carolyne$0222983 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777603103321 996 $aKing Arthur's enchantresses$93703969 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04101nam 2200697 450 001 9910787171703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-78238-505-3 024 7 $a10.1515/9781782385059 035 $a(CKB)3710000000244290 035 $a(EBL)1644377 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001348531 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11788658 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001348531 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11371192 035 $a(PQKB)11542512 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1644377 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10938201 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL648275 035 $a(OCoLC)891445806 035 $a(DE-B1597)637246 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781782385059 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1644377 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000244290 100 $a20141001h20152015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aWriting democracy $ethe Norwegian constitution 1814-2014 /$fedited by Karen Gammelgaard and Eirik Holmøyvik ; contributors, Kjell Lars Berge [and eleven others] 210 1$aNew York :$cBerghahn,$d2015. 210 4$d©2015 215 $a1 online resource (280 pages) 225 0 $aTime and the World: Interdisciplinary Studies in Cultural Transformations 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-322-17018-5 311 $a1-78238-504-5 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aTitle Page; Copyright; Contents; Figures; Acknowledgements; Note on Interdisciplinarity and Stylistic Conventions; Introduction - The Norwegian Constitution as a Text ; Part I: Embarking on the Matter; Chapter 1 - The Thing That Invented Norway; Chapter 2 - The Changing Meaning of "Constitution" in Norwegian Constitutional History ; Chapter 3 - The Many Textual Identities of Constitutions ; Part II: Transnational Conversations; Chapter 4 - The Norwegian Constitution and the Rhetoric of Political Poetry ; Chapter 5 - Constitution as a Transnational Genre 327 $aChapter 6 - Discursive Patterns in the Italian and Norwegian Constitutions Part III: Historical Transformations; Chapter 7 - Timing the Constitutional Moment ; Chapter 8 - The Norwegian Constitution and Its Multiple Codes ; Chapter 9 - Norwegian Parliamentary Discourse 2004-2014 on the Norwegian Constitution's Language Form ; Part IV: Freedom of Expression; Chapter 10 - Article 100 and the Evolution of a Public Opinion Text Culture in Denmark-Norway 1770-1799 ; Chapter 11 - To Speak What the Hour Demands 327 $aChapter 12 - Scholarly Texts' Influence on the 2004 Revision of the Norwegian Constitution's Article 100 Appendix A: Constitution for Kongeriget Norge; Appendix B: The Constitution of the Kingdom of Norway ; Bibliography; Contributors; Index 330 $aThe Norwegian Constitution is the oldest functioning constitution in Europe. Its bicentenary in 2014 has inspired the analyses in this volume, where contributors focus on the Constitution as a text to explore new ways of analyzing democratic development. This volume examines the framing of the Norwegian Constitution, its transformations, and its interpretations during the last two centuries. The textual focus enables new understandings of the framers' negotiations and decisions on a democratic micro level and opens new international and historical contexts to understanding the Norwegian Const 410 0$aTime and the World ;$vv. 2. 606 $aConstitutional history$zNorway 606 $aConstitutional law$zNorway$xInterpretation and construction 606 $aDemocracy$zNorway 615 0$aConstitutional history 615 0$aConstitutional law$xInterpretation and construction. 615 0$aDemocracy 676 $a342.48102/9 702 $aGammelgaard$b Karen 702 $aHolmøyvik$b Eirik 702 $aBerge$b Kjell Lars 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787171703321 996 $aWriting democracy$93735498 997 $aUNINA
