Mony wylsum way: Modes of perception or stylistic conventions?
http://ceirseach.blogspot.com/2010/11/modes-of-perception-or-stylistic.html
Middle English Word of the Moment. Tuesday, November 16, 2010. Modes of perception or stylistic conventions? My supervisor recommended me last week a book that he finds has received less attention than it deserves, partly because it is awkwardly titled for its contents: William Brandt’s. The Shape of Medieval History: Studies in Modes of Perception. London: Yale UP, 1966). I have found myself alternately fascinated and frustrated by it. When we say that something is relevant to something else, we ordinar...

Middle English Word of the Moment. Sunday, March 13, 2011. The Judgement and Death of Roger d’Amory (part 1 of 2). This post was actually written a couple of weeks ago, but given the proximity of the date, I figured I might as well save it for an anniversary post! On the 13th or 14th of March, 1322, Roger d’Amory died – ‘obiit morte propria’ – at Tutbury Priory, Burton-upon-Trent,. Fineshade manuscript. [4]. Lady Elizabeth de Clare / de Burgh. [5]. Husbands of his sisters. [6]. Les queux treisouns, arsou...

Middle English Word of the Moment. Monday, September 20, 2010. Thomas the fugitive, run to ground. Well Not quite. But I know where he was in February 686 years ago. That counts for something, right? Sadly, I could find nothing more about this Thomas - until yesterday. He's back in the country! And they don't want him. The Engaynes, by the way, have a manor at Darington, so there is a connection there with at least one of the other knights in company with him. 1] He died sometime during that regnal year,...

Mony wylsum way: The Jaunts of Sirs Thomas and Thomas
http://ceirseach.blogspot.com/2011/06/jaunts-of-sirs-thomas-and-thomas.html
Middle English Word of the Moment. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. The Jaunts of Sirs Thomas and Thomas. The following is adapted from a few paragraphs of chapter 3 of my thesis - the story, so far as it can be deduced from a few records here and there, of one member of the family whose movements in the 1320s I've been piecing together. And his friend. I thought it might be fun! 2] Holland had been perceived by Lancastrians as a traitor, as his desertion of that earl on the brink of the Battle of Boroughbridge...

Middle English Word of the Moment. Tuesday, February 15, 2011. A little cheeky of me, perhaps; but I was reading Lukacs' Theory of the Novel. Trans Anna Bostock, London: Merlin Press, 1963), and felt that his writing was best answered in a medium that can respond fully to his binary worldview. And therefore. Your first problem is a simple typo. On line [page] 30 you have written:. No one has ever equalled Homer, nor even approached him - for, strictly speaking, his works alone are epics." (30)]. I do rec...

Middle English Word of the Moment. Monday, May 2, 2011. In place of actual content, I have written a bestiary entry for a kangaroo, as it could have been understood had mediaeval Europe been aware of it. Asked spontaneously about several myths of the Middle Ages (how real was King Arthur, did they think the world was flat) and managed to volunteer all of the languages spoken in mediaeval England without prompting. And when you have the answers "Middle English? No, OLD English." "French! I'm a Masters stu...
