ISBN: 1646546741
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 25
Book Description
The Falcon and the Prince is, first of all, a fabulous look at the power of magic. Our young falcon, who roosted for the night on a windowsill of a fine residence on the edge of a town in the south of Ireland, is suddenly awakened by the terrible crying of a young miss. He knows he will get no sleep if that keeps up, so he tries to find out what the matter could be, causing her wailing. The young lass is very startled, to be sure, that a bird is talking to her. But she soon learns that he isn't just any ordinary bird, and he insists that once he knows what is causing her fitful crying, he can come up with a very satisfying solution. What ensues is a very surprising turn of events, leaving the reader and their young listener with mouths agape in wonder and hearts filled with joy.

Early Modern Zoology: The Construction of Animals in Science, Literature and the Visual Arts (2 vols.)
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9047422368
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 717
Book Description
The new definition of the animal is one of the fascinating features of the intellectual life of the early modern period. The sixteenth century saw the invention of the new science of zoology. This went hand in hand with the (re)discovery of anatomy, physiology and – in the seventeenth century – the invention of the microscope. The discovery of the new world confronted intellectuals with hitherto unknown species, which found their way into courtly menageries, curiosity cabinets and academic collections. Artistic progress in painting and drawing brought about a new precision of animal illustrations. In this volume, specialists from various disciplines (Neo-Latin, French, German, Dutch, History, history of science, art history) explore the fascinating early modern discourses on animals in science, literature and the visual arts. The volume is of interest for all students of the history of science and intellectual life, of literature and art history of the early modern period. Contributors include Rebecca Parker Brienen, Paulette Choné, Sarah Cohen, Pia Cuneo, Louise Hill Curth, Florike Egmond, Karl A.E. Enenkel, Susanne Hehenberger, Annemarie Jordan-Gschwendt, Erik Jorink, Johan Koppenol, Almudena Perez de Tudela, Vibeke Roggen, Franziska Schnoor, Paul J. Smith, Thea Vignau-Wilberg, and Suzanne J. Walker.

The Growth of Literature: Volume II
Author: H. Munro Chadwick
Publisher: CUP Archive
ISBN: 9780521310185
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 808
Book Description
The Growth of Literature is a key work for all scholars and students of comparative literature, and will also interest those involved with other fields of literary studies as well as sociology, anthropology and related disciplines. The three volumes, hailed as classics when they first appeared between 1932 and 1940, were last reprinted in 1968. Now available for the first time in paperback, they remain the definitive study of their subject. The work contains an examination of comparative literatures in various countries and at various times, with a view to demonstrating what literature (oral and written) consists of at different stages of its growth and what, if any, general principles can be applied to its development under diverse conditions. In the first volume Professor and Mrs Chadwick establish the categories of literature which are used throughout as a means of classification, and discuss the heroic age in Europe, focusing on Classical, Anglo-Saxon and Celtic cultures. In the second volume they deal with Russian oral literature, Yugoslav oral poetry, early Indian literature and early Hebrew literature. Volume III examines the oral literature of the Tatars, of Polynesia, and of Africa, concluding with a general survey which makes use of the categories developed in the first volume.

The Growth of Literature
Author: H. Munro Chadwick
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108016154
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 808
Book Description
First published between 1932 and 1940, this is a three-volume study of the historical development of literature. It explores the oral and written literatures of regions from Iceland and the British Isles, to Russia, the Balkans, Africa, India and the Pacific, placing them in their historical context and examining similarities between them. The authors discuss both ancient and recent texts, illustrating the connections within each group and considering the question of whether all literary growth is influenced by common factors. Praised on publication as ' ... a work that is not, probably could not be, superseded' (International Journal of Comparative Sociology), the book remains a benchmark for those studying comparative literature or the history of literary criticism. Volume 2 focuses particularly on Russia and the Balkans, and also surveys both early Indian and early Hebrew literature.
