Medieval Woman's Song
Author: Anne L. Klinck
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 1512803812
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
The number of surviving medieval secular poems attributed to named female authors is small, some of the best known being those of the trobairitz the female troubadours of southern France. However, there is a large body of poetry that constructs a particular textual femininity through the use of the female voice. Some of these poems are by men and a few by women (including the trobairitz); many are anonymous, and often the gender of the poet is unresolvable. A "woman's song" in this sense can be defined as a female-voice poem on the subject of love, typically characterized by simple language, sexual candor, and apparent artlessness. The chapters in Medieval Woman's Song bring together scholars in a range of disciplines to examine how both men and women contributed to this art form. Without eschewing consideration of authorship, the collection deliberately overturns the long-standing scholarly practice of treating as separate and distinct entities female-voice lyrics composed by men and those composed by women. What is at stake here is less the voice of women themselves than its cultural and generic construction.

A Woman of Vienna
Author: Joachim von Kürenberg
Publisher: Pickle Partners Publishing
ISBN: 1787209814
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 413
Book Description
This is a 1955 translation of the German language biography of Katharina Schratt (1853- 1940), an Austrian actress who became “the uncrowned Empress of Austria” as a confidante of the Emperor Franz Joseph. “Katharina Schratt’s life shows her as a unique woman, an actress of not outstanding gifts, who—thanks to her strength of character, her artlessness and her frankness—became the trusted friend of one of the mightiest rulers of Europe; she did not expect any advancement for herself; she was not ambitious á la Pompadour. In Hietzing she was just known as die Gnädige Frau and was greatly esteemed and admired. “Her influence over the Emperor Franz Joseph was, without doubt, important and beneficial; and this applies particularly to political questions. It has already been said, with justification, that the historian who wishes to write about Austrian politics of the period between 1866 and 1916, will not be able to leave out of account the figure of Katharina Schratt.”—Joachim von Kürenberg, Foreword Written by renowned German author, Joachim von Kürenberg, this biography is richly illustrated throughout and will make a valuable addition to any history collection.

Imagining the Woman Reader in the Age of Dante
Author: Elena Lombardi
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192550942
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 455
Book Description
Imagining the Woman Reader in the Age of Dante brings to light a new character in medieval literature: that of the woman reader and interlocutor. It does so by establishing a dialogue between literary studies, gender studies, the history of literacy, and the material culture of the book in medieval times. From Guittone d'Arezzo's piercing critic, the 'villainous woman', to the mysterious Lady who bids Guido Cavalcanti to write his grand philosophical song, to Dante's female co-editors in the Vita Nova and his great characters of female readers, such as Francesca and Beatrice in the Comedy, all the way to Boccaccio's overtly female audience, this particular interlocutor appears to be central to the construct of textuality and the construction of literary authority. This volume explores the figure of the woman reader by contextualizing her within the history of female literacy, the material culture of the book, and the ways in which writers and poets of earlier traditions imagined her. It argues that these figures are not mere veneers between a male author and a 'real' male readership, but that, although fictional, they bring several advantages to their vernacular authors, such as orality, the mother tongue, the recollection of the delights of early education, literality, freedom in interpretation, absence of teleology, the beauties of ornamentation and amplification, a reduced preoccupation with the fixity of the text, the pleasure of making mistakes, dialogue with the other, the extension of desire, original simplicity, and new and more flexible forms of authority.
