AnGlo-sAXon Art leslie weBsTer

This is the first new introduction to Anglo-Saxon art in twenty-five years and the first book to take account of the 2009 discovery of the Staffordshire Hoardthe largest cache of Anglo-Saxon gold and silver metalwork yet found. Written by one of the leading scholars in the field, and illustrated with many of the most impressive artifacts, it will be the authoritative book on the subject for years to come. From its first manifestations in the metalwork and ceramics of the early settlers, Anglo-Saxon art displays certain inherent and highly distinctive stylistic and iconographic features. Despite the many new influences that were regularly absorbed and adapted by Anglo-Saxon artists and craftsmen, these characteristics continued to resonate through the centuries in the great manuscripts, ivories, metalwork, and sculpture of this inventive and creative culture. Anglo-Saxon Artwhich features 150 color and black-andwhite illustrationsis arranged thematically while following a broadly chronological sequence. An introduction highlights the character of Anglo-Saxon art, its leitmotifs, and its underlying continuities. Leslie Webster places this art firmly in its wider cultural and political context while also examining the significant conceptual relationship between the visual and literary art of the period.

Verse can convey knowledge as profound as does prose, but it does so differently: verse links the quest for knowledge to orality, performance, and personifications and thus invites its readers to engage in a different kind of epistemology: verses ways of knowing.r enATe BluMenFeld -kosinski, universiTy oF piTTsBurgh

sPAnish hUMAnisM on the verGe oF the PiCAresQUe Juan Maldonados Ludus Chartarum, Pastor Bonus, and Bacchanalia ediTed And TrAnslATed By wArren s. sMiTh And clArk colAhAn
The sixteenth-century humanist Juan Maldonado (c. 14851554), in his Latin essays, foreshadows the Spanish picaresque. Maldonados Pastor Bonus, a lengthy open letter to a bishop, reviews in a vivid and satirical style the abuses of the churchmen in his diocese. His Ludus chartarum is framed as a colloquium on entertaining while teaching a Latin terminology for card playing. His Bacchanalia is a spirited play pitting the forces of Lent against those of Bacchus.
