Paperback. Condition: New. One of the few records of German heroic poetry, Widsith was found in the Exeter Book, a manuscript of Old English poetry compiled in the late tenth century. The tale, in which the wandering poet and narrator Widsith recounts his travels across northern Europe, is often seen as a catalogue of tribes, people and heroes who existed between the third and fifth centuries. Yet it is also, in Raymond Wilson Chambers' words, a rare and valuable 'record of lost heroic song'. Originally published in 1912, Chambers' study provides an introduction to the background of the German heroic tradition, as well as detailed analyses of specific aspects of Widsith, such as the metre, geography, and critical reception of the poem. This scholarly edition also includes an annotated version of the poem, and maps, as well as an appendix which will be valuable to students and scholars of Old English literature.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The Fame of Blessed Thomas More' is a compelling exploration of the enduring legacy and historical reputation of one of England's most influential figures. Written by the distinguished scholar R. W. Chambers, this work examines how Thomas More has been perceived through the centuries, transitioning from a controversial statesman and martyr to a celebrated saint and icon of conscience.The book delves into the multifaceted life of More, the author of 'Utopia' and Lord Chancellor of England, highlighting his contributions to Renaissance humanism, legal thought, and religious devotion. Chambers masterfully traces the evolution of More's fame, analyzing how his character and ultimate sacrifice under Henry VIII have resonated with subsequent generations. By situating More within both his contemporary Tudor context and his broader historical impact, this work provides profound insights into the intersection of faith, politics, and integrity.Essential for students of Tudor history, Catholic hagiography, and English literature, 'The Fame of Blessed Thomas More' offers a scholarly yet accessible look at why More remains a figure of immense moral and intellectual significance.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of medieval household management, offering a unique glimpse into the daily life of a noblemanââ â¢s household. The author examines a fifteenth-century manuscript detailing the duties of various officials, from the marshall to the sewer, and provides insightful commentary on the social and economic contexts of the time. The manuscript, remarkably, provides an almost complete picture of how a noblemanââ â¢s household functioned: everything from the daily routines of the household staff to the intricacies of mealtimes and the protocol for serving guests. The author examines the manuscript in detail, exploring the role of servants within the household hierarchy and the importance of etiquette in a society governed by strict social rules. This book, though focusing on the practical aspects of household management, touches upon larger themes of social order, power dynamics, and the significance of custom in medieval life. The manuscript, through its detailed instructions, provides a window into the realities of medieval life, revealing not only the mechanics of household organization, but also the social codes that governed interactions within the noblemanââ â¢s domain. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
