There was little chance of special treatment, except for the restrictive kind, due to superstitions and tra - ditional beliefs dating from the Romans and Greeks, and antenatal care was almost non-existent. If we also take into account the fact that many women fasted as a religious penance, for example Margery Kempe, it is easy to see that pregnancy was beset with risks and suffering that would affect the behaviour of any woman. keywords: age; alisoun; bath; birth; children; husband; margery; wife; woman cache: selim-13562.pdf plain text: selim-13562.txt item: #157 of 282 id: selim-13563 author: Serrano Reyes, Jesús title: John of Gaunt's Intervention in Spain: Possible Repercussions for Chaucer's Life and Poetry date: 2019-03-06 words: 10380 flesch: 73 summary: 1991: 466) shows, the Duke of Lancaster was claiming not the crown but the price of it: el rey don Carlos de Navarra vino al rey don Enrique a Madrid, e fabló con él, que el rey de Inglaterra e el príncipe de Gales serían sus amigos, e que se tirase de la liga del rey de Francia, e que el rey de Inglaterra e el príncipe dexarían la guerra que avían con él, e non ayudaría a las fijas del rey don Pedro que estaban en Inglaterra; e para esto el rey don Enrique diese al príncipe de Gales alguna suma de dineros por la debda que le debía el rey don Pedro de los gajes que ovieron de aver él e los otros señores e gentes de armas, los 1 “Preparing his forces for the battle.” ____________________________________________________________________ 131 quales él pagara por venir con el rey don Pedro a Castilla. 2 “ and this Duke of Lancaster was called king of Castile and Leon, and he brought coats of arms of castles and lions.” 3 He had married to Elizabeth, Constance’s little sister. ____________________________________________________________________ 132 por los cuales le facía saber cómo el rey de Castilla fuera des - baratado, e avía perdido muchas gentes suyas de las mejores que en el regno de Castilla avía, e que agora tenía tiempo de se venir el dicho duque para Castilla.1 On the other hand, the results of the Parliament of 1385 in England may have helped Gaunt to decide as is reflected in Palmer’s (1971: 480) article: There is something equally curious about the fact that no grant was made to John of Gaunt. keywords: ayala; calveley; castile; chaucer; del; don; duke; duque; england; english; gaunt; henry; john; king; lancaster; los; martín; montserrat; peter; portugal; que; rey; spain; trastamara cache: selim-13563.pdf plain text: selim-13563.txt item: #158 of 282 id: selim-13564 author: Breeze, Andrew title: Did Sir Thomas Philipps (fl. 1489-1520) write I love a flower? date: 2019-03-06 words: 1307 flesch: 72 summary: He regarded Chambers and Sidgwick’s identification of the author as the priest Thomas Phillipps as ‘doubtful’.3 Could Sir Thomas Philipps, sheriff of Pembrokeshire, thus have written the song?

From my investigation focused on Old English up and early Middle English some points have been made manifest: (i) A verb with negative import shows a tendency to invite the negative particle ne in the dependent clause it takes, owing to the negative import of the governing verb; this is a kind of correlative construction based on Old English syntax; (ii) Alternative expressions like ‘Verb (with negative import) and Verb of saying + direct speech or indirect speech (with ne)’ may suggest that the construction ‘Verb (with negative import) + þæt + ne’ is not illogical but a contracted and correlative form, meaning ‘he forbade saying, “You should not do that”’ or ‘he forbade and said that I should not do that’; (iii) ‘Verb (with negative import) + to-infinitive’ was found in Old English as an alternative of ‘Verb (with negative import) + þæt-clause’ with or without ne, which means that the shift from forbid that to forbid to is a tendency rather than a historical development; (iv) The ‘Verb (with negative import) keywords: century; clause; construction; english; examples; forbead; forbeodan; god; hit; import; man; men; negative; ogura; university; verb; þat; þæt cache: selim-15526.pdf plain text: selim-15526.txt item: #244 of 282 id: selim-15527 author: Gomes Gargamala, Miguel A. title: Borges, Solomon and Saturn: “Un diálogo anglosajón del siglo XI” (1961) date: 2020-09-29 words: 9945 flesch: 64 summary: Borges y el anglosajón.

The apposition of Christian and pagan myth in Beowulf date: 2022-07-28 words: 7793 flesch: 70 summary: The apposition of Christian and pagan myth in Beowulf1 Connor Lawhorn Independent scholar The first half of Beowulf’s speech before the dragon fight (lines 2425-2471) has often been referred to as the most pagan part of the poem, possibly containing an allusion to the god Odin and his sons Hothr and Baldr. This article, however, proposes a new Christian context for this passage, identifying, in Beowulf’s description of a hanged son on the gallows, a hitherto unnoticed allusion to Christ’s passion, evinced by a verbal association between the gallows and Christ in Old English poetry, and a broader syncretism between Odin, Baldr, and Christ in Viking-Age Anglo-Scandinavian culture. keywords: anglo; apposition; baldr; beowulf; christ; christian; cross; death; english; gallows; lines; myth; odin; pagan; poem; press; son; university cache: selim-18202.pdf plain text: selim-18202.txt item: #262 of 282 id: selim-18582 author: Minaya Gómez, Francisco Javier title: Wonder, beauty, ability and the natural world: The experience of wonder as a positive aesthetic emotion in Old English verse date: 2022-07-28 words: 8299 flesch: 54 summary: Taking into consideration previous research carried out on positive aesthetic experience (Minaya 2021) and on the potentially negative side of wonder (Minaya 2022), this paper explores three different and interconnected domains of WONDER in Old English verse.

The first chapter examines the concept of soil in early medieval hagiography, as illustrated in works by prominent authors such as Bede or in anonymous compilations like the Old English Martyrology. keywords: englishness; texts cache: selim-20060.pdf plain text: selim-20060.txt item: #273 of 282 id: selim-20061 author: Kano, Koichi title: Knox, Philip. 2022.

It is misleading for Knox to assert, however, that traces of the Rose can be found throughout medieval English literature, or that the Rose is the fons et origo of them. keywords: english; knox; rose cache: selim-20061.pdf plain text: selim-20061.txt item: #274 of 282 id: selim-20062 author: Bischof , Janika title: Neidorf, Leonard, ed. 2021.

Ker: Older Philology and the Future of Medieval Studies” that the time has come to return to “Ker’s insights and to consider them within the broader context of the Nibelungenlied” as the field has turned towards “more global perspectives, emphasizing strongly comparative approaches” (267) much like those pursued by Ker and his contemporaries. The question of what effect “[t]he arrival of medieval romance literature in the North” (270) had is pursued by Claudia Bornholdt in “The Persistence of the Heroic Ideal in Post-Heroic Age Scandinavian Romance Literature”. keywords: epic; ker; literature; medieval; romance; texts cache: selim-20062.pdf plain text: selim-20062.txt item: #275 of 282 id: selim-20063 author: Muñoz Rodríguez , María del Carmen title: Parker, Eleanor. 2022.

In this sense, the etymological explanations provided are suitable for the better interpretation of an entire set of medieval traditions which are deeply interrelated with the turn of seasons, rendering their presentation both informative and amusing. keywords: anglo; parker; saxon; year cache: selim-20063.pdf plain text: selim-20063.txt item: #276 of 282 id: selim-20064 author: Royan, Nicola title: Ruskiewicz, Dominika. 2021.

By providing a sound justification which suits medieval social codification, the editors do not choose to discriminate among the different categories, but instead to include under the umbrella term all those which interact with gender issues. keywords: ages; book; chapter; gender; male; status; studies cache: selim-20068.pdf plain text: selim-20068.txt item: #281 of 282 id: selim-20069 author: Fafinski , Mateusz title: Whearty, Bridget. 2022.
