书目名称 | English Gothic Literature | 编辑 | Derek Brewer | 视频video | | 丛书名称 | Macmillan History of Literature | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | The centuries between 1100 and 1500 were the crucible in which English language and literature, after the blow of the Norman Conquest, were reformed with results that affected all later times. The national language and literary culture were reconstructed influences. The medieval centuries present a fascinating success story of recovery, inventiveness and major achievement in all aspects of national life..In literature, lyric verse, narrative poetry, drama and discursive prose were all established in characteristic modes. In the present book many works are discussed, while such masterpieces as the works of Chaucer, Langland‘s .Piers Plowman., the poems of the .Gawain.-poet and Malory‘s .Morte Darthur. are shown as the secular equivalent in words of the great medieval Gothic cathedrals. The forms of this varied body of literature had as characteristic a period style as contemporary Gothic art and architecture themselves. English literature may equally be described as Gothic, with assumptions and achievements which both lead to and contrast with later Neoclassical styles. Black and white photographic illustrations further the comparison and suggest some background..English Gothic lite | 出版日期 | Textbook 1983Latest edition | 关键词 | Chaucer; English literature; Fabliau; Medieval Literature; Middle Ages; novel; poem; prose; Renaissance; Roma | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-349-17037-1 | copyright | Macmillan Publishers Limited 1983 |
