Languages Of Power In The Age Of Richard II 电子书下载
``Lynn Staley?’s new book is informed by an impressive command of Middle English culture and is chockablock with new insights. Few scholars could of-fer such a rich confrontation of literature and history for this important and distinctive period.`` ?—Ralph Hanna, Keble College, Oxford In this book the distinguished medievalist Lynn Staley turns her attention to one of the most dramatic periods in English history, the reign of Richard II, as seen through a range of texts including literary, political, chronicle, and pictorial. Richard II, who ruled from 1377 to 1399, succeeded to the throne as a child after the fifty-year reign of Edward III, and found himself beset throughout his reign by military, political, religious, economic, and social problems that would have tried even the most skilled of statesmen. At the same time, these years saw some of England?’s most gifted courtly writers, among them Chaucer and Gower, who were keenly attuned to the political machinations erupting around them. In Languages of Power in the Age of Richard II Staley does not so much ``read`` literature through history as offer a way of ``reading`` history through its refractions in literature. In essence, the text both isolates and traces what is an actual search for a language of power during the reign of Richard II and scrutinizes the ways in which Chaucer and other courtly writers participated in these attempts to articulate the concept of princely power. As one who took it upon himself to comment on the various means by which history is made, Chaucer emerges from Staley?’s narrative as a poet without peer.
