Duckworth Publishers. Fine. 2010. Softcover. 0715636898 . Duckworth Archaeology; 192 pages; This volume of collected essays is intended as a demonstration of the ways in which a theoretically informed archaeology significantly enhances our understanding of the early middle ages (indeed of the past more generally). It begins from the premise that theory must be worked though in data (abstract theorising conjures up only ahistorical pictures of the past) and applies a consistent and contemporary body of theory (broadly characterised as 'post-processual') in a series of case-studies. These essays, which address some of the key issues in contemporary archaeology (identity, the appropriation/destruction of the past, gift exchange, object biographies, the influence of our present on the construction of the past, the impact of texts on past societies), are linked by a series of discussions which serve both to update the arguments and to create a continuous and coherent narrative.

D. S. Brewer. Very Good- in Very Good dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 0859914070 . Dustjacket is protected in mylar. Moderate bump to top of spine of both DJ and book. Otherwise this would be NF; A collection of essays offering original arguments in a number of areas. Papers cluster around two topics: the writing of Langland and Chaucer, and writing as historical process. These reflect Frank's own wide-ranging work. The papers contain a refreshing ideological diversity while maintaining coherence of intellectual concerns. There is a discussion of the working of memory in The Knights Tale. On debt, on Langland's Christology and on revelry, some very interesting ideas are put foward. In addition, literary contexts for the two major poets are usefully and thoroughly mapped out, and three papers illustrate how historical events and processes may be perceived in stimulatingly different ways. Included is an introduction from the editor and bibliography of Robert Worth Frank, Jnr.… Leer más

Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; 303 pages; The story of Beowulf and his hard-fought victory over the monster Grendel has captured the imagination of readers and listeners for a millennium.
