The Motifs and Characters in the Gest Hystoriale of the Destruction of Troy and in the Laud Troy Book
Both the alliterative Gest Hystoriale of the Destruction of Troy (c. 1400) and the Laud Troy Book (c. 1400), a metrical romance, deal with the lives and feats of chivalric heroes and place special emphasis on the psychological effects of love. This book is a study of the motifs in John Clerk's and the Laud-poet's narratives and of their characterization of the Trojan War's principal actors. Both writers used the same source, but their preferences for motifs and their attitudes toward the persons involved were often quite different. Thirteen illustrations, mainly from medieval Guido manuscripts, serve as a stimulus to those who want to know more about the medieval understanding of the Trojan War.
Linguistics and the Third Reich
This book presents an insightful account of the academic politics of the Nazi era and analyses the work of selected linguists, including Jos Trier and Leo Weisgerber. Hutton situates Nazi linguistics within the politics of Hitler's state and within the history of modern linguistics.
The Sinful Knights
This is the first detailed study of four Middle English Romance poems--Guy of Warwick, Sir Ysumbras, Sir Gowther, and Robert of Cisyle--all of which are concerned with the sin, repentance, and atonement of their heroes. Hopkins argues that the kind of penance experienced by the heroes reflects archaic traditions and views at variance with the contemporary teaching and practice of the Church. The book explores whether or not the authors consciously exploited the literary conventions of romance to teach their moral lessons and examines the nature of romance itself. Providing a detailed examination of the penitential romance, this work illuminates such frequently studied texts as Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.

A Companion to Medieval Popular Romance
Popular romance was one of the most wide-spread forms of literature in the Middle Ages, yet despite its cultural centrality, and its fundamental importance for later literary developments, the genre has defied precise definition, its subject matter ranging from tales of chivalric adventure, to saintly women, and monsters that become human. The essays in this collection provide contexts, definitions, and explanations for the genre, particularly in an English context. Topics covered include genre and literary classification; race and ethnicity; gender; orality and performance; the romance and young readers; metre and form; printing culture; and reception.
The German Joyce
"The first comprehensive account of the enormous impact of Joyce on German modernist and postmodern writers. An indispensable book on Joyce's 'German' face."—Gerald Gillespie, Stanford University In August 1919, a production of James Joyce's Exiles was mounted at the Munich Schauspielhaus and quickly fell due to harsh criticism. The reception marked the beginning of a dynamic association between Joyce, German-language writers, and literary critics. It is this relationship that Robert Weninger analyzes in The German Joyce. Opening a new dimension of Joycean scholarship, this book provides the premier study of Joyce's impact on German-language literature and literary criticism in the twentie...
