Maslen -- Rhetorical Play in Cornelius Agrippa: The Declamation on the Nobility and Preeminence of the Female Sex /John Flood -- Ein Schwert in Frauenhand: Notizen zu einigen volkssprachigen Texten des Mittelalters /Tette Hofstra -- Female Voices from the Otherworld: The Role of Women in the Early Irish Echtrai /Karin E. Olsen -- Morgan le Fay and the Fairy Mound in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight /Richard North -- Cresseid ‘Beyond the Pale’ /David J.

Veenstra -- Index. Ever since the Middle Ages the Otherworld of Faerie has been the object of serious intellectual scrutiny. What science in the end dismissed as airy nothings was given a local habitation and a name by art. This book presents some of the main chapters from the history and tradition of otherworldly spirits and fairies in the folklore and literature of the British Isles and Northern Europe. In eleven contributions different experts deal with some of the main problems posed by the scholarly and artistic confrontation with the Otherworld, which not only fuelled the imagination, but also led to the ultimate redundancy of learned perceptions of that Otherworld as it was finally obfuscated by the clarity of an enlightened age. Contributors include: Henk Dragstra, John Flood, Julian Goodare, Tette Hofstra, Robert Maslen, Richard North, Karin E. Olsen, David J. Parkinson, Rudolf Suntrup, Jan R. Veenstra, and Helen Wilcox

Renaissance psychologies explores this polarity, questioning the very distinct concepts of these two great poets and how they are related.

    "At the Bottom of the Garden is a history of fairies from the ancient world to the present. Steeped in folklore and fantasy, it is a rich and diverse account of the part that fairies and fairy stories have played in culture and society." "Dianne Purkiss explains in this engrossing history that ancient fairies were born of fear: fear of the dark, of death, and of other great rites of passage, birth and sex. To understand the importance of these early fairies to pre-industrial peoples, we need to recover that sense of dread."--BOOK JACKET.

    "Fairies, Fractious Women, and the Old Faith examines the ways in which the fairy, rebellious woman, quasi-Catholic trio repeatedly stages resistance to early modern conceptions of appropriate class and gender conduct and state-mandated religion in A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Merry Wives of Windsor, Cymbeline, All's Well That Ends Well and Ben Jonson's The Alchemist. The introduction provides an overview of widespread popular beliefs with respect to fairies - beliefs with particular relevance to the lived experience of women - and illustrates their connection to the doctrinal battles waged over religious reform in this period."--BOOK JACKET.

    A thorough and scholarly study of Spenser and Shakespeare and their contrary artistry, covering themes of theology, psychology, the depictions of passion and intellect, moral counsel, family hierarchy, self-love, temptation, folly, allegory, female heroism, the supernatural and much more. Renaissance psychologies examines the distinct and polarised emphasis of these two towering intellects and writers of the early modern period. It demonstrates how pervasive was the influence of Spenser on Shakespeare, as in the "playful metamorphosis of Gloriana into Titania" in A Midsummer Night's Dream and its return from Spenser's moralizing allegory to the Ovidian spirit of Shakespeare's comedy. It will appeal to students and lecturers in Spenser studies, Renaissance poetry and the wider fields of British literature, social and cultural history, ethics and theology Introduction -- part I. Anatomy of human nature -- 1. The charismatic queen and the centrality of self-love -- 2. Depicting passion -- 3. Depicting intellect ('Experience, though noon auctoritee') -- 4. Depicting soul and spirit : Spenser and Shakespeare -- part II. Holistic design -- 5. Hierarchic architecture in The faerie queene -- 6. Shakespeare's plays as passional cycles : revealing the unconscious in chiastic symmetry -- 7. End-songs : final vistas of Spenser and Shakespeare -- Epilogue.
