Medieval Rome: A Portrait of the City and Its Life

This book sets out to show that during the Middle Ages, Rome could offer glories that were in their way equally significant. From the foundation of the great basilicas of the early Christian centuries to the first Jubilee of 1300, when crowds flocked to the city from all over Europe, the city of Rome developed a civilization of unrivalled vigor and vitality.

Prose Poetry: An Introduction

An engaging and authoritative introduction to an increasingly important and popular literary genre Prose Poetry is the first book of its kind--an engaging and authoritative introduction to the history, development, and features of English-language prose poetry, an increasingly important and popular literary form that is still too little understood and appreciated. Poets and scholars Paul Hetherington and Cassandra Atherton introduce prose poetry's key characteristics, chart its evolution from the nineteenth century to the present, and discuss many historical and contemporary prose poems that both demonstrate their great diversity around the Anglophone world and show why they represent some of today's most inventive writing. A prose poem looks like prose but reads like poetry: it lacks the line breaks of other poetic forms but employs poetic techniques, such as internal rhyme, repetition, and compression. Prose Poetry explains how this form opens new spaces for writers to create riveting works that reshape the resources of prose while redefining the poetic. Discussing prose poetry' s precursors, including William Wordsworth and Walt Whitman, and prose poets such as Charles Simic, Russell Edson, Lydia Davis, and Claudia Rankine, the book pays equal attention to male and female prose poets, documenting women's essential but frequently unacknowledged contributions to the genre. Revealing how prose poetry tests boundaries and challenges conventions to open up new imaginative vistas, this is an essential book for all readers, students, teachers, and writers of prose poetry.

Byzantine and Medieval Greece: Churches, Castles and Art of the Mainland and the Peloponnese

John Murray Pubs Ltd

The author of this book introduces Greece's principal churches, monasteries, castles and art from the early Christian period and the rule of Byzantium, followed by the incursions of French, Catalans and Italians, before the final occupation by the Turks. After an outline history of the period and some introductory remarks on its architectural and artistic conventions, the rest of the book is organized as a gazetteer, with locations in alphabetical order and a simple star rating system. As well as a selection of photographs, the book is equipped with the necessary maps, and ground plans of the more important or complicated castles and churches. Early Christian basilicas with their imposing scale, the wide proliferation and variety of Byzantine churches, their tiled cupolas encrusted inside with mosaics or frescoes, and the craggy ruins of the many castles still to be found in Greece, both Frankish and Byzantine, are all noted and described here.

This volume gathers together 17 articles published over the last 30 years, together with one appearing here for the first time. Their focus is primarily on enamel, the brilliant and colourful art form for which the Byzantines were famous throughout the medieval world, but sculpture and glyptics also figure. The author examines not only works which have retained the form in which they were first created, but others which have had their original Byzantine elements re-used, often by artists in the West. While most of the works featured here have been known to scholars before, one was unknown prior to its first publication in 2006.
