        Rereading Chaucer and Spenser

        Dan Geffrey with the New Poete

        by Rachel Stenner, Tamsin Badcoe, Gareth Griffith

        Rereading Chaucer and Spenser is a much-needed volume that brings together established and early career scholars to provide new critical approaches to the relationship between Geoffrey Chaucer and Edmund Spenser. By reading one of the greatest poets of the Middle Ages alongside one of the greatest poets of the English Renaissance, this collection poses questions about poetic authority, influence, and the nature of intertextual relations in a more wide-ranging manner than ever before. With its dual focus on authors from periods often conceived as radically separate, the collection also responds to current interests in periodisation. This approach will engage academics, researchers and students of Medieval and Early Modern culture.

        Data Leaks (1). Wer macht die Wahrheit?

        by Mous, Mirjam

        Der Kampf um die Macht der Daten hat begonnen … Big Data und KI verändern unsere Welt schon heute - doch das ist erst der Anfang. Ein schonungsloser Thriller über die Zukunft der Digitalisierung für Jugendliche ab 14 von Mirjam Mous, der Erfolgsautorin von Boy 7. Zwischen Regierung und Hackern tobt ein Kampf um die persönlichen Daten der Menschen. Zwei Geschwister werden in das brisante Spiel hineingezogen, doch die Regeln sind undurchschaubar - und tödlich. Der siebzehnjährige Holden und seine Schwester Prissy leben in Paradise - einer Stadt, in der es keine Armut, keine Umweltverschmutzung und keine Verbrechen gibt. Während Prissy mit ihren Freundinnen im Camchat abhängt und per ID-Armband auf Shopping-Tour geht, rebelliert Holden gegen die starren Regeln der Gesellschaft. Heimlich streift er durch abgesperrte Naturreservate und schmuggelt von dort verbotene Gegenstände in die Stadt - bis er ins Visier der Ordnungskräfte gerät. Sie wissen alles über seine Streifzüge und sperren ihn als Straftäter ins berüchtigte Cliffton Institut. Als Holden abgeführt wird, gerät Prissys heile Welt ins Wanken. Da taucht plötzlich der undurchschaubare Hacker Mo auf und bietet ihr seine Hilfe an. Im Gegenzug soll Prissy bei einem riskanten Daten-Coup mitmachen, der ganz Paradise in Trümmer legen könnte. Während Prissy sich immer tiefer in die illegalen Machenschaften hineinziehen lässt, erkennt Holden im Institut, dass die Regierung von Paradise ein falsches Spiel mit ihnen allen spielt - und dass Prissy und er keineswegs zufällig zwischen die Fronten geraten sind. Data Leaks - Wer macht die Wahrheit? ist der Auftakt eines atemlos spannenden Zweiteilers. Das Finale Wer kennt deine Gedanken? erscheint im Frühjahr 2021

        Transporting Chaucer

        by Anke Bernau, Helen Barr

        Drawing on the work of British sculptor Antony Gormley, alongside more traditional literary scholarship, this book argues for new relationships between Chaucer's poetry and works by others. Chaucer's playfulness with textual history and chronology anticipates how his own work is figured in later - and earlier - texts. Responding to this, the book presents innovative readings of the relationships between medieval texts and early modern drama, literary texts and material culture. It re-energises conventional models of source and analogue study to reveal unexpected - and sometimes unsettling - literary cohabitations. At the same time, it exposes how associations between architecture, pilgrim practice, manuscript illustration and the soundscapes of dramatic performance reposition how we read Chaucer's oeuvre and what gets made of it. An invaluable resource for scholars and students of all levels with an interest in medieval English literary studies and early modern drama, Transporting Chaucer offers a new approach to how we encounter texts through time.

        The gift of narrative in medieval England

        by Nicholas Perkins

        This invigorating study places medieval romance narrative in dialogue with theories and practices of gift and exchange, opening new approaches to questions of storytelling, agency, gender and materiality in some of the most engaging literature from the Middle Ages. It argues that the dynamics of the gift are powerfully at work in romances: through exchanges of objects and people; repeated patterns of love, loyalty and revenge; promises made or broken; and the complex effects that time works on such objects, exchanges and promises. Ranging from the twelfth century to the fifteenth, and including close discussions of poetry by Chaucer, the Gawain-Poet and romances in the Auchinleck Manuscript, this book will prompt new ideas and debate amongst students and scholars of medieval literature, as well as anyone curious about the pleasures that romance narratives bring.
