The Lady and the Virgin
Author: Penny Schine Gold
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226300897
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Penny Schine Gold provides a bold analysis of key literary and artistic images of women in the Middle Ages and the relationship between these images and the actual experience of women. She argues that the complex interactions between men and women as expressed in both image and experience reflect a common pattern of ambivalence and contradiction. Thus, women are seen as both helpful and harmful, powerful and submissive, and the actuality of women's experience encompasses women in control and controlled, autonomous and dependent. Vividly recreating the rich texture of medieval life, Gold effectively and eloquently goes beyond a simple equation of social context and representation. In the process. she challenges equally simple judgments of historical periods as being either "good" or "bad" for women. "[The Lady and the Virgin] presents its findings in a form that should attract students as well as their instructors. The careful and controlled use of so many different kinds of sources . . . offers us a valuable medieval case study in the inner-relationship between the segments of society and its ethos or value system."—Joel T. Rosenthal, The History Teacher "Something of a tour de force in an interdisciplinary approach to history."—Jo Ann McNamara, Speculum "[A] well-written, extremely well-researched book. . . . The Lady and the Virgin is useful, readable, and well informed."—R. Howard Bloch, Modern Philology

A tour de force of history and imagination, The Lady and the Unicorn is Tracy Chevalier’s answer to the mystery behind one of the art world’s great masterpieces—a set of bewitching medieval tapestries that hangs today in the Cluny Museum in Paris. They appear to portray the seduction of a unicorn, but the story behind their making is unknown—until now. Paris, 1490. A shrewd French nobleman commissions six lavish tapestries celebrating his rising status at Court. He hires the charismatic, arrogant, sublimely talented Nicolas des Innocents to design them.

There, master weaver Georges de la Chapelle risks everything he has to finish the tapestries—his finest, most intricate work—on time for his exacting French client. The results change all their lives—lives that have been captured in the tapestries, for those who know where to look. In The Lady and the Unicorn, Tracy Chevalier weaves fact and fiction into a beautiful, timeless, and intriguing literary tapestry—an extraordinary story exquisitely told.

Pages : 168
Book Description
"What is your opinion about the meaning of Bible prophecy? Is the book of Revelation a prophecy about the future of this earth that is still yet to come -- or is it prophecy that has mostly already been fulfi lled through this passing Christian Age? Christians living in our world today are familiar with the many futuristic interpretations of the prophetic books of the Bible that have been offered to us by the publishing industry -- especially some of the wild and radical interpretations of the Book of Revelation. There are rivers turning to blood, stars falling to the earth, a ""last chance to go to heaven"" theology, and on and on it goes. Every few years, as the passing history of our world takes new turns, these predictions that are supposedly based upon Bible prophecy have to be revised again and again to make them suit the changing world scene. This means that there were some wrong interpretations somewhere along the line. But there is a better way. Before the middle of the 20th century when futurism developed such an amazing acceptance into the Christian community, there was another method of interpretation that was very prominent called ""historicist"". This simply means that the Book of Revelation is really prophecy about events that have been happening for about 2,000 years now, and that agree in description and in timely order with the chapters of Revelation. The same is true with much of the Book of Daniel. Loren Wilson, with his academic background in history and his preaching experience as a pastor, has updated the writings of the old historicist Bible commentators by including events of the 20th and 21st centuries into the mix. The results may change your perspective of what Daniel and Revelation is all about."
