Narrative in the Feminine
What does it mean to tell a story from a woman’s point of view? How have Canadian anglophone and francophone writers translated feminist literary theory into practice? Avant-garde writers Daphne Marlatt and Nicole Brossard answer these, and many more questions, in their two groundbreaking works, now made more accessible through the careful, narratological readings and theoretical background in Narrative in the Feminine. Susan Knutson begins her study with an analysis of the contributions made by Marlatt and Brossard to international feminist theory. Part Two presents a narratological reading of How Hug a Stone, arguing that at the deepest level of narrative, Marlatt constructs a gender-inc...
Landscape of the Megaliths
This volume describes the results of the Longstones Project , a joint-universities programme of excavation and survey designed to develop a fuller understanding of the context and dynamics of monument construction in the later Neolithic (3rd millennium BC) of the Avebury region, Wiltshire. Several elements of this internationally important prehistoric monument complex were investigated: an early-mid 3rd millennium BC enclosure at Beckhampton; the recently re-discovered Beckhampton Avenue and Longstones Cove; a section of the West Kennet Avenue; the Falkner's stone circle; and the Cove within Avebury's Northern Inner Circle. The research sheds new light on the complexities and development of ...
A Saxon Bed Burial on Swallowcliffe Down
Excavation of a Bronze Age barrow on Swallowcliffe Down, Wiltshire in 1996, revealed that it had been reused in the seventh century AD for a richly furnished Anglo-Saxon inhumation. The burial was that of a young female aged between 18 and 25, laid on an ash-wood bed with elaborate iron-work fittings, and surrounded by a collection of grave-goods of high quality. These included an iron-bound bucket and an iron pan at her head, a maple-wood casket containing a sprinkler and a spoon together with several other personal items laid at one side, and an orate satchel on the other. At the foot of the grave was a bronze mounted bucket. This full account of the grave, the circumstances of its discovery, and of its contents, describes these finds in detail and sets the material fully within its seventh-century context in art-historical terms. The significance of the bed burial is examined in the light of other examples of similar burial practices both locally and nationally. Examination of the documentary and topographical evidence for the Swallowcliffe barrow in the seventh century leads to the suggestion that it may be identified as Posses Hlaewe, recorded in a charter of AD940.
Stonehenge in Its Landscape
