Sinopsis
Excerpt from First Middle English Primer: Extracts From the Ancren Riwle and Ormulum; With Grammar, Notes, and Glossary
IN the present edition I have made such alterations and additions as seemed likely to increase the utility of the book. In doing so I have been greatly aided by Mr. C. Stoffel, of Amsterdam, to whom I take this opportunity of ex pressing my thanks. I also have to acknowledge some useful criticisms received from Dr. F. Holthausen. I have, on the other hand, omitted to give the ms. Readings in cases of correction, as I now consider such details out of place in a primer.

Excerpt from First Middle English Primer: Extracts From the Ancren Riwle and Ormulum; With Grammar, Notes, and Glossary
The extracts have been carefully chosen not only from a linguistic, but also from a literary and social-historical point of view. The student who has carefully worked through them will hardly need to be told that the A. R. Is one of the most perfect models of simple, natural, eloquent prose in our language; without it indeed, the history of English prose from the close of the Old E. Period down to the beginning of the seventeenth century would be little more than a dreary blank. As a picture of contemporary life, manners, and feeling it cannot be over-estimated. The passage (p. 34) in which Christ is described as a Norman knight in homeliest English phrase is alone enough to give a vivid idea of that fusion of English and French traditions and sentiments which - in spite of [z'an/zoe - was almost completely carried out by the beginning of the thirteenth century. The con clusion (p. 39) of the allegory of Christ's wooing of the soul is, on the other hand, thoroughly Old English in its com bined picturesqueness and grandeur. Thoroughly English.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of texts that provide a fascinating glimpse into the lives and beliefs of medieval Christian women living in 13th century England. Written by the author as a guide for female religious figures known as anchoresses, these texts offer unique insight into the religious, social, and cultural landscape of the period. The anchoresses were women who dedicated their lives to religious contemplation and prayer, often living as recluses in small cells attached to churches. The texts cover a wide range of topics, including the anchoresses' daily routines, their spiritual practices, and their interactions with the outside world. The author provides detailed instructions on how the anchoresses should conduct themselves, from their clothing and diet to their behavior towards visitors. The book also includes prayers, meditations, and moral tales designed to help the anchoresses on their spiritual journeys. Beyond their religious significance, these texts are also valuable historical documents that shed light on the everyday lives of medieval women. They provide a glimpse into the challenges and opportunities faced by women in a patriarchal society and offer a unique perspective on the role of religion in shaping their lives. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781333003234_0
