Middle English Literature

This book provides a boldly original account of Middle English literature from the Norman Conquest to the beginning of the sixteenth century. It argues that these centuries are, in fundamental ways, the momentous period in our literary history, for they are the long moment in which the category of literature itself emerged as English writing began to insist, for the first time, that it floated free of any social reality or function. This book also charts the complex mechanisms by which English writing acquired this power in a series of linked close readings of both canonical and more obscure texts. It encloses those readings in five compelling accounts of much broader cultural areas, describ...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...no truer words have ever been written or spoken. The way an individual looks at life through their eyes changes as they travel this road called life. From the innocence we view as a child to the experience we view as an elder, the things we see along the way make up what we know and believe. To some a field of flowers is the most beautiful sight in the world while others may see the beauty in a graveyard...the interpretation of the view is in the beholder. In this book you will see of my interpretations and my views I have seen in life and have been lucky enough to capture in photo. I hope you enjoy it and that it inspires you to let your vision and interpretation be shared by all.
