 Verbal Encounters: Anglo-Saxon and Old Norse Studies for Roberta Frank By Antonina Harbus, Russell Poole 2005 | 310 Pages | ISBN: 0802080111 | PDF | 14 MB Due to conquests and colonialism through the centuries, it is not unusual for languages and cultures to be influenced by other, foreign languages and cultures. The modern English language, for example, owes many of its words to Old Norse and Latin, debts dating from contacts made during the Middle Ages. "Verbal Encounters" is a collection of papers on the cultural and linguistic exchange in Old Norse, Old English, and medieval Latin literature written in honour of Roberta Frank, former University Professor of Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto.The essays feature new scholarship in the field, on topics such as the integral position of Anglo-Latin within Anglo-Saxon culture and literature, constructions of feminine strength and effectiveness in Anglo-Saxon literature, the rise of Latin-based learning in twelfth-century Iceland, medieval Icelandic religious poetry, and the conversion to Christianity in medieval Scandinavia.The essays in "Verbal Encounters" are not merely a fitting tribute to Roberta Frank, but also strong contributions to current scholarship on medieval literature and culture.

The roots of populism: Neoliberalism and working-class lives by Brian Elliott 2021 | ISBN: 152613697X | English | 160 pages | PDF | 5 MB Does the current wave of populism constitute a threat to or promise for democracy? What has led to the emergence of populism and to what extent can populism be shaped into a program of progressive reform of democracy today? In this timely new book, Brian Elliott takes a long view on populism, tracing its presence to the seminal struggles waged by the British workers' movement of the nineteenth century to gain general enfranchisement. Since the emergence of neoliberalism in the UK in the early 1980s, he argues, the interests of the working class have become progressively more marginalized within mainstream politics. Years of austerity politics following the financial crash of 2008 deepened popular disenchantment with the political class and paved to the way for the 2016 Brexit referendum result. This has precipitated a crisis of British democracy. |
