| Zusammenfassung: | A fresh and invigorating survey of the sea as it appears in medieval English literature, from romance to chronicle, hagiography to autobiography. As the first cultural history of the sea in medieval English literature, this book traces premodern myths of insularity from their Old English beginnings to Shakespeare's 'Tempest'. Beginning with a discussion of biblical, classical and pre-Conquest treatments of the sea, it investigates how such works as the Anglo-Norman 'Voyage of St Brendan', the Tristan romances, the chronicles of Matthew Paris, 'King Horn, Patience, The Book of Margery Kempe' and 'The Libelle of Englyshe Polycye' shape insular ideologies of Englishness. Whether it is Britain's privileged place in the geography of salvation or the political fiction of the idyllic island fortress, medieval English writers' myths of the sea betray their anxieties about their own insular identity; their texts call on maritime motifs to define England geographically and culturally against the presence of the sea. New insights from a range of fields, including jurisprudence, theology, the history of cartography and anthropology, are used to provide fresh readings of a wide range of both insular and continental writings.

Sobecki The Sea & Medieval English Literature Suffolk Boydell & Brewer 2008 1 online resource (xi, 205 pages) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 02 Oct 2015) Introduction -- Traditions -- Deserts and Forests in the Ocean -- Almost Beyond the World -- Realms in Abeyance -- Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea -- Epilogue: The Tempest's Many Beginnings -- Index A fresh and invigorating survey of the sea as it appears in medieval English literature, from romance to chronicle, hagiography to autobiography. As the first cultural history of the sea in medieval English literature, this book traces premodern myths of insularity from their Old English beginnings to Shakespeare's 'Tempest'. Beginning with a discussion of biblical, classical and pre-Conquest treatments of the sea, it investigates how such works as the Anglo-Norman 'Voyage of St Brendan', the Tristan romances, the chronicles of Matthew Paris, 'King Horn, Patience, The Book of Margery Kempe' and 'The Libelle of Englyshe Polycye' shape insular ideologies of Englishness. Whether it is Britain's privileged place in the geography of salvation or the political fiction of the idyllic island fortress, medieval English writers' myths of the sea betray their anxieties about their own insular identity; their texts call on maritime motifs to define England geographically and culturally against the presence of the sea. New insights from a range of fields, including jurisprudence, theology, the history of cartography and anthropology, are used to provide fresh readings of a wide range of both insular and continental writings.
