Medieval Narratives of Accused Queens

This study of medieval stories of accused queens--noble and hapless victims whose suffering becomes a metaphor of larger social injustice--identifies the types of this fictional narrative and explores their popularity from the 13th to the 15th centuries. Offering evidence of lively debate in the Middle Ages about the nature of women, the book considers such topics as the perpetual lustiness of men, the powerlessness of women, the nature of "good" women, slander as evidence of legal failure, the purifying value of affliction, and economic discrepancies between the rich and the poor.

Coleridge, Revision and Romanticism: After the Revolution, 1793-1818 (Continuum Literary Studies)

Ve-Yin Tee is Assistant Professor of British Literature at Nanzan University, Japan.

This title presents a cultural-materialist assessment of the after-effects of the French Revolution on English culture, using Coleridge as a case study. The Romantic phenomenon of multiple texts has been shaped by the link between revision and authorial intent. However, what has been overlooked are the profound implications of multiple and contradictory versions of the same text for a materialist approach; using the works of Coleridge as a case study and the afterlife of the French Revolution as the main theme, this monograph lays out the methodology for a more detailed multi-layered analysis.
