ALCUIN AND REOWUI F
An Eighth-Century View
W.E Bolton
This is a study of the way
Beowulf
might have been interpreted by A1cuin,
an aristocratic Anglo-Saxon intellectual, tutor to Charlemagne and near–
contemporary of the poet. Bolton differs fundamentally from both close
readers and historical critics and offers many new conclusions including his
own theory of the poem's theme and structure, the relationship between the
vernacular and Latin literature, and the association of
Beowulf
with Mediter–
ranean rather than Baltic culture. $D.OO
THE IDEA OF THE GARDEN IN THE RENAISSANCE
Terry Comito
The author links literary texts and actual gardens to define a tradition of a
particular cultural period. He shows how the activities of monks and poets,
philosophers and lovers are set in the "sacred space" of gardens as aspects of
the search for Paradise. $15.00
