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 02465nam 2200649 a 450 001 9910818642603321 005 20240313201800.0 010 $a9781118413326 010 $a1118413326 010 $a9781118413357 010 $a1118413350 010 $a9781118413333 010 $a1118413334 010 $a9781118413340 010 $a1118413342 035 $a(CKB)2670000000355899 035 $a(EBL)1175199 035 $a(DLC) 2013008775 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1175199 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10704067 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL493154 035 $a(PPN)176638288 035 $a(FINmELB)ELB177752 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1175199 035 $a(OCoLC)854575548 035 $a(FR-PaCSA)88816851 035 $a(FRCYB88816851)88816851 035 $a(Perlego)1001899 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000355899 100 $a20130531d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe art of data analysis $ehow to answer almost any question using basic statistics /$fKristin H.
