Book Description
Excerpt from Peronnik the Fool At these words Peronnik lifted his head from the wooden bowl out of which he was feeding, and with his eyes on the knight he hearkened, hearing that the Diamond Spear and the Gold en Bowl were the greatest treasures the world could bestow on any man. For in the Golden Bowl, said the knight, he will find all food and drink that he may wish for and every kind of wealth. Faith and troth! That bowl is the bowl for me, said Peronnik to himself. Every kind of wealth, the knight continued, and also health, for if he eat and drink from the Golden Bowl he shall be healed, whatever his sicknesses may be; and though he may be dead, if not for more than three days, life will come back to him if the Bowl be put to his lips. What a wonderful bowl this is! Said Peronnik. I would have it for myself. Well, tell us now about the Spear, good knight.

Love in a Green Shade
Author: Richard F. Hardin
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 9780803223943
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Love in a Green Shade examines for the first time in depth the reception history of Daphnis and Chloe in literature, beginning with its Renaissance rediscovery and working through its various transformations in English, French, Spanish, and other literatures. At the same time, Richard F. Hardin launches a groundbreaking exploration of the idyllic romance tradition in fiction and drama. While Virgil and Theocritus beget a tradition of poetry concerned with male eroticism, idyllic romance centers on the couple in a story pointing toward marriage. In addition to Daphnis and Chloe, this study considers numerous works influenced by the idyllic romance tradition, including Shakespeare?s The Tempest, Milton?s Paradise Lost, Bernardin?s Paul et Virginie, Stowe?s The Pearl of Orr?s Island, Cather?s O Pioneers!, novels by Sand, Hardy, and Pardo Bazan, Louis Hemon?s Maria Chapdelaine, and Mishima?s The Sound of Waves.
