"Classical Rhetoric in the Middle Ages: The Medieval Rhetors and Their Art 400-1300, with Manuscript Survey to 1500 CE is a completely updated version of John Ward's much-used doctoral thesis of 1972, and is the definitive treatment of this fundamental aspect of medieval and rhetorical culture. It is commonly believed that medieval writers were interested only in Christian truth, not in Graeco-Roman methods of 'persuasion' to whatever viewpoint the speaker/writer wanted. Dr Ward, however, investigates the content of well over one thousand medieval manuscripts and shows that medieval writers were fully conscious of and much dependent upon Graeco-Roman rhetorical methods of persuasion. The volume then demonstrates why and to what purpose this use of classical rhetoric took place."--

Pulp Fictions of Medieval England demonstrates that popular romance not only merits and rewards serious critical attention, but that we ignore it to the detriment of our understanding of the complex and conflicted world of medieval England.

"Les cisterciens sont moins connus pour avoir recherché et retravaillé les textes que pour leurs efforts de centralisation et d'unification dans l'architecture et les arts, la liturgie et la vie quotidienne, et pour leur utilisation active de l'écrit pragmatique - pour ne citer que ces quelques domaines. Et pourtant, leurs bibliothèques, parfois immenses, font mentir par leur richesse et les textes rarissimes ou inattendus qu'elles nous ont conservés l'idée d'un ordre peu consacré aux études. Où les cisterciens ont-ils trouvé ces textes? Quels étaient leurs réseaux? Avaient-il des critères pour choisir les textes à copier et les modèles? La recherche des textes était-elle dans ces abbayes réfléchie, concertée? En somme, les cisterciens ont-ils été des transmetteurs par hasard, ou parce que leur intérêt pour les textes allait bien au-delà de ce que nous croyons habituellement? Ce livre montre que la seconde réponse est certainement la plus juste."--
