Book Description
Excerpt from Anniversary Papers by Colleagues and Pupils of George Lyman Kittredge: Presented on the Completion of His Twenty-Fifth Year of Teaching in Harvard University; June, 1913 To provide for the expenses of publication a subscription was raised among nearly three hundred of Professor Kittredge's friends, with the understanding that any surplus should be set apart as a book fund for the University Library, the income to be expended under his direction. But the publishing house of Messrs. Ginn and Company, wishing to have a share in the tribute, generously offered to bear the entire cost of publication; so that the whole sum sub scribed, after the payment of a few incidental expenses, will become available for the Library. A special bookplate to be used for works purchased from the fund has been designed by Mr. Pierre La Rose. It is now the privilege of the authors and editors of these papers to offer them to Professor Kittredge in the name of the many men who delight to honor him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Chrétien de Troyes
Author: Douglas Kelly
Publisher: Tamesis Books
ISBN: 9781855660830
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 600
Book Description
The supplement to the 1976 original bibliography reflects the expanding scope of modern Chrétien studies, including items from around the world, with the assistance of an international team of scholars. The Supplement builds on and completes the Chrétien de Troyes Bibliography first published in 1976. Together the two volumes constitute the fullest and most complete bibliographical source now available on this major medieval author. Chrétien de Troyes bequeathed a corpus of highly original and widely influential Arthurian romances. Indeed, his direct or indirect influence continued throughout the middle ages and beyond into modern times. The Bibliographypermits students of medieval romance to quickly identify the areas in which Chrétien scholarship has been active. Items are listed under twenty-two topics, with numerous sub-sections under each topic, and cross-references for items that treat more than one of the topics. The broad geographic and linguistic scope of modern Chrétien studies is evident in items not only from western Europe and North America, but also from the growing body of medieval scholarship in eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, and Australasia. To ensure accuracy and completeness, the editor has been assisted by scholars competent in the many languages in which Chrétien studies are now published, most notably in Japanese, Welsh, Rumanian, Hungarian and Polish, as well as by other scholars and librarians who generously provided assistance and information in finding items difficult to access.

American Indians in British Art, 1700-1840
Author: Stephanie Pratt
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806188847
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Ask anyone the world over to identify a figure in buckskins with a feather bonnet, and the answer will be “Indian.” Many works of art produced by non-Native artists have reflected such a limited viewpoint. In American Indians in British Art, 1700–1840, Stephanie Pratt explores for the first time an artistic tradition that avoided simplification and that instead portrayed Native peoples in a surprisingly complex light. During the eighteenth century, the British allied themselves with Indian tribes to counter the American colonial rebellion. In response, British artists produced a large volume of work focusing on American Indians. Although these works depicted their subjects as either noble or ignoble savages, they also represented Indians as active participants in contemporary society. Pratt places artistic works in historical context and traces a movement away from abstraction, where Indians were symbols rather than actual people, to representational art, which portrayed Indians as actors on the colonial stage. But Pratt also argues that to view these images as mere illustrations of historical events or individuals would be reductive. As works of art they contain formal characteristics and ideological content that diminish their documentary value.
