A Good Knight
Former beauty queen Robyn Brodie was still single at the age of 32. After a seven-year relationship she assumed would lead to marriage, she broke off the engagement. Robyn found herself staring at a lonely future. Yet, she wanted to be unlonely and desired the experience of marriage and family in the traditional sense. She was not encouraged at her chances however, given the tick of the biological clock, mixed with the lack of available prospects. So she took some crazy advice to put out an APB for her future husband! The advisor insisted it would only work if Robyn was committed to going out with whomever asked. Robyn wanted her dream badly enough to try this approach. Hilarity ensues as Ro...
Her Knight In Shining Armour
'A wonderful romance with a great HEA that two people really needed.' - Australian Romance Readers Association She may not need a knight in shining armour to save her, but that doesn't mean she's going to look a gift knight in the visor... Paisley doesn't need a knight in shining armour to rescue her from her high–powered, abusive ex–husband. She's got it covered on her own: she's changed her name, liquidated her assets, and has a plan to disappear in the Rocky Mountain National Park. Psychiatrist Sterling James has absolutely no intention of being anyone's saviour. The only woman he has any time for is his sister. But circumstances change when Sterling finds Paisley in an unexpected and life–threatening situation. Brought in to the drama of her escape, Sterling finds himself invested, and he can't move on until he knows Paisley is going to be safe. It should be a simple enough exercise to get Paisley out of the park and into her new life. But nothing is ever as simple as it should be, and Sterling soon discovers that even if her ex–husband buys the set–up, he might not be able to watch Paisley go...
British Outlaws of Literature and History
The medieval outlaws of Britain maintain a hold on the present-day imagination, judging by their presence in literature and on film. Exploring the nature of both historical and fictional outlaws, these twelve critical essays survey the literary, historical, and cultural environments that produced them, namely the medieval and early modern periods. Divided into three parts, the text examines the historical records of real outlawed men and women and the representation of Jews in medieval Britain as possible outlaws, outlaws associated specifically with Wales, and the popular figure of Robin Hood and the context of the late medieval poems and plays that feature him as a prominent figure.
The Gest of Robyn Hode: A Critical and Textual Commentary
The “Gest” is the earliest major writing about Robin Hood — although it tells a tale very different from that found in most modern retellings. This version attempts to produce a more accurate text of the long-lost original; it also provides a modernized parallel. To this is added an extensive historical introduction, line-by-line commentary, vocabulary study, and a selection of other texts which clarify the context of the "Gest." Dedicated to Patricia Rosenberg.
Robin Hood in Popular Culture
Studies of varied aspects of Robin Hood legends and associated topics: the greenwood, archery, outlawry, and 20c response to the legends. The Robin Hood tradition has had a continuing appeal from the middle ages to the present day, the hero himself holding a distinctive place within popular culture, his exploits, and those of his companions, being celebrated in multiple forms, from the earliest rituals, plays and ballads to musical theatre, lyric poetry, modern popular fiction, cinema and TV. The essays in this volume provide a rich and coherent perspective on this enigmatic figure and the legends which have grown up around him, offering a wide range of approaches. Topics include place-name ...
English Poetry
Originally published between 1909 and 1917 under the name "Harvard Classics," this stupendous 51-volume set-a collection of the greatest writings from literature, philosophy, history, and mythology-was assembled by American academic CHARLES WILLIAM ELIOT (1834-1926), Harvard University's longest-serving president. Also known as "Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf," it represented Eliot's belief that a basic liberal education could be gleaned by reading from an anthology of works that could fit on five feet of bookshelf. Volume XL is the first of three volumes that ambitiously survey half a milliennium of poetry in the English language. Almost 300 works by more than 75 authors in this volume alone s...
