دانلود کتاب Bakhtin and Medieval Voices

"The first of its kind for medieval studies. . . . I cannot imagine that a collection of this caliber would not be consulted regularly by those of us who struggle with questions of interpreting and teaching the literature of the Middle Ages."--R. A. Shoaf, University of Florida This is the first wide-ranging exploration of the theories of the 20th-century Russian critic Mikhail Bakhtin, as they apply to medieval literature.  It challenges established ways of reading medieval texts and constructs a cross-interrogation between medieval data and Bakhtinian theories.  Contents Part One: Carnival Voices in Medieval Texts Playing on the Margins: Bakhtin and the Smithfield Decretals, by Andrew Taylor Taking Laughter Seriously: The Comic and Didactic Functions of Helmbrecht, by Lisa R.
