Masculine Identity in Modernist Literature
Author: Allan Johnson
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319655094
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
This book is about the modernist narrative voice and its correlation to medical, mythological, and psychoanalytic images of emasculation between 1919 and 1945. It shows how special-effects of rhetoric and form inspired by outré modernist developments in psychoanalysis, occultism, and negative philosophy reshaped both narrative structure and the literary depiction of modern masculine identity. In acknowledging early twentieth-century Anglo-American literature’s self-conscious and self-reflexive understanding of the effect of textual production, this engaging new study depicts a history of writers and readers understanding the role of textual absence in the development and chronicling of masculine anxiety and optimism.

Eternal Chalice
Author: Juliette Wood
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0857712438
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
The sacred allure of the Holy Grail has fascinated writers and ensnared knights for over a thousand years. From Malory to Monty Python, the eternal chalice--said to be the very cup from which Christ drank at the Last Supper--has the richest associations of any icon in British myth. Many different meanings have been devised for the Grail, which has been linked to the Celts and King Arthur, the eucharistic rites of Eastern Christianity, ancient mystery religions, Jungian archetypes, dualist heresies, Templar treasure and even the alleged descendants of Christ himself and Mary Magdalene. The common thread running through all these stories is the assumption that the Grail legend has a single source with a meaning that--if only we could decode it--is concealed in the romances themselves. That meaning has become the subject of coded, secret documents and is the central feature of a vast conspiracy supposedly stretching back to the dawn of western civilization. Juliette Wood here reveals the elusive and embedded significance of the Grail story in popular consciousness--as myth, medieval romance, tangible holy relic and finally as the centre of an esoteric theory of global conspiracy. The author shows how various interpretations of the Grail, over the centuries, reflect changing cultural needs and desires. Her book will enthral those who, like Sir Perceval, seek to unlock the mysterious secrets of western mythology's most extraordinary and tantalising enigma, and will delight students of history, myth and religion alike.

Kings of the Grail
Author: Margarita Torres Sevilla
Publisher: Michael O'Mara Books
ISBN: 1782433465
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Recently discovered parchments in the Egyptian University of Al-Azhar have finally made it possible to retrace the spot where the Holy Grail has been kept for the last 1,000 years. The authors, a medieval history lecturer and an art historian, came across the clues leading to the Grail's discovery by chance when carrying out research in Cairo. The evidence in the ancient Egyptian parchments led them on a three-year investigation as they traced the Grail's journey across the globe and discovered its final resting place in the Basilica of San Isidoro in León, Spain. This is the definitive guide to one of history's most sought-after treasures, the origin and object of both Arthurian myth and Christian legend, offering objective information to support an extraordinary discovery, and looks back at the origins of Judaism and Catholicism, the significance of the Last Supper, and relics previously associated with the Grail. The Kings of the Grail presents the new, definitive historical and scientific facts that have come to light, unravelling the mystery that has surrounded the Holy Grail and taking the reader on a compelling and thought-provoking journey.
