A New King
This is the story of peasant boy William, son of a farmer, who is forced to serve his lord, Robert Peldham of Rochester, where he meets his daughter, spoiled brat Margaret. While training to be a soldier and knight, William and Margaret fall in love. The story follows their romance as they grow up and William learns his father is the cousin to King Edward and he is chosen to succeed his uncle on the throne. It ends with the death of Edward and William being crowned king.
Postmodernism and Notions of National Difference
Postmodernism and Notions of National Differenceexamines the critical construction of postmodern fiction raising the question of whether the construction of postmodernism has sufficiently accounted for national difference. Geoffrey Lord argues that current meta-national conceptions of postmodernism need serious reconsideration to take national cultural contexts into account. Through a comparative investigation of the theoretical debate, literary traditions and close textual reading of a number of postmodern texts, Lord makes a persuasive case for his broad claim that national cultural differences are more persistent and powerful than usually allowed by established theories of postmodernity which claim a general collapse of traditional cultural orders and the meta-narratives that justify them.
Lord Geoffrey's Fancy
Lord Geoffrey’s Fancy is a beautifully detailed study of the world of the thirteenth century – a world of knights and crusaders, of courtly love and chilvalry. Closely following historical fact, Duggan portrays the fate and fortunes of one Sir Geoffrey de Bruyere, ‘the best knight in all Romanie’. He traces his story through hunts and brightly coloured jousting tournaments to gallant battles, fighting for God and for justice against the Infidel Turk. ‘One of the best historical novelists of this century’ Times Literary Supplement ‘What gives this novel its subtly satisfying flavour is the grasp of medieval philosophy it displays’ Daily Telegraph
