A New Literary History of the Long Twelfth Century offers a new narrative of what happened to English language writing in the long twelfth century, the period that saw the end of the Old English tradition and the beginning of Middle English writing. It discusses numerous neglected or unknown texts, focusing particularly on documents, chronicles and sermons. To tell the story of this pivotal period, it adopts approaches from both literary criticism and historical linguistics, finding a synthesis for them in a twenty-first century philology. It develops new methodologies for addressing major questions about twelfth-century texts, including when they were written, how they were read and their relationship to earlier works. Essential reading for anyone interested in what happened to English after the Norman Conquest, this study lays the groundwork for the coming decade's work on transitional English.

Cinéma et télévision, que l’on opposa longtemps par leur mode de production et de réception, leur public ou même leur portée artistique, sont fortement liés par leur exploitation de la sérialité. Si la télévision est devenue la reine des séries, les récits audiovisuels sériels sont d’abord apparus dans les premières décennies du cinéma pour fidéliser un public, dans la droite ligne de ce que la littérature avait initié au XIXe siècle. Avec l’essor de la télévision dans les années 1950, les séries télévisées exploitent certaines stratégies des séries cinématographiques, tout en créant de nouvelles. Aujourd’hui, les grandes franchises hollywoodiennes, comme les séries télévisées anglophones, dominent les marchés et les imaginaires du monde entier. Alors que l’essor du phénomène sériel, aussi bien qualitatif que quantitatif, semble inexorable, quelles implications esthétiques, culturelles, industrielles et économiques sont à l’œuvre ? Quels sont les liens entre le récit audiovisuel et la sérialité au sens large ? Quelle est la spécificité de la sérialité dans les arts narratifs audiovisuels ? À travers l’histoire du cinéma et de la télévision, et de leur évolution inter-médiatique avec l’arrivée d’internet notamment, et au fil d’analyses approfondies d’œuvres comme The Hunger Games, Hannibal, Scream ou encore Crazy Ex Girlfriend, cet ouvrage éclaire les mécanismes et les contraintes de la sérialité audiovisuelle du monde anglophone.

An exploration of small early folk communities prior to the eleventh century, showing their development and sophistication. All communities have a strong sense of identity with the area in which they live, which for England in the early medieval period manifested itself in a series of territorial entities, ranging from large kingdoms down to small districts known as pagi or regiones. This book investigates these small early folk territories, and the way that they evolved into the administrative units recorded in Domesday, across an entire kingdom - that of the East Saxons (broadly speaking, what is now Essex, Middlesex, most of Hertfordshire, and south Suffolk). A wide range of evidence is drawn upon, including archaeology, written documents, place-names and the early cartographic sources. The book looks in particular at the relationship between Saxon immigrants and the native British population, and argues that initially these ethnic groups occupied different parts of the landscape, until a dynasty which assumed an Anglo-Saxon identity achieved political ascendency (its members included the so-called "Prittlewell Prince", buried with spectacular grave-good in Prittlewell, near Southend-on- Sea in southern Essex). Other significant places discussed include London, the seat of the first East Saxon bishopric, the possible royal vills at Wicken Bonhunt near Saffron Walden and Maldon, and St Peter's Chapel at Bradwell-on-Sea, one of the most important surviving churches from the early Christian period.
