The Medieval Changeling
Author: Rose A. Sawyer
Publisher: Boydell & Brewer
ISBN: 1843846519
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
The first comprehensive study of medieval changelings and associated attitudes to the health and care of children in the period. The changeling - a monstrous creature swapped for a human child by malevolent powers - is an enduring image in the popular imagination; dubbing a child a changeling is traditionally understood as a way to justify the often-violent rejection of a disabled or ailing infant. Belief in the reality of changelings is famously attested in Stephen of Bourbon's disapproving thirteenth-century account of rites at the shrine of Saint Guinefort the Holy Greyhound, where sick children were brought to be cured. However, the focus on the St. Guinefort rituals has meant some scholarly neglect of the wealth of other sources of knowledge (including mystery plays and medical texts) and the nuances with which the changeling motif was used in this period. This interdisciplinary study considers the idea of the changeling as a cultural construct through an examination of a broad range of medical, miracle, and imaginative texts, as well as the lives of three more conventional Saints, Stephen, Bartholomew and Lawrence, who, in their infancy, were said to have been replaced by a demonic changeling. The author highlights how people from all walks of life were invested in both creating and experiencing the images, texts and artefacts depicting these changelings, and examines societal tensions regarding infants and children: their health, their care, and their position within the familial unit.

Innocent Bones
Author: Marcus O'Brien
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1662478186
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
Some crimes are ordinary (e.g. robberies, assaults, embezzlement, and the like). And then there are crimes so horrific that they almost defy description. Innocent Bones relates two such crimes. Both involve perps who plan and execute with precision and patience. Both involve multiple victims who intrigued the killer for one specific reason, although the perp's motivations could not be more different in the two cases. Both involve an intelligent, moral, hardworking family man who serves his city as a rising and ultimately distinguished detective. You may read Innocent Bones in one sitting. It's that hard to put down.

Literary Cultures and Medieval and Early Modern Childhoods
Author: Naomi J. Miller
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030142116
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
Building on recent critical work, this volume offers a comprehensive consideration of the nature and forms of medieval and early modern childhoods, viewed through literary cultures. Its five groups of thematic essays range across a spectrum of disciplines, periods, and locations, from cultural anthropology and folklore to performance studies and the history of science, and from Anglo-Saxon burial sites to colonial America. Contributors include several renowned writers for children. The opening group of essays, Educating Children, explores what is perhaps the most powerful social engine for the shaping of a child. Performing Childhood addresses children at work and the role of play in the development of social imitation and learning. Literatures of Childhood examines texts written for children that reveal alternative conceptions of parent/child relations. In Legacies of Childhood, expressions of grief at the loss of a child offer a window into the family’s conceptions and values. Finally, Fictionalizing Literary Cultures for Children considers the real, material child versus the fantasy of the child as a subject.
