{"product_id":"laʒamon-s-brut-between-old-english-heroic-poetry-and-middle-english-romance","title":"Laʒamon’s «Brut» between Old English Heroic Poetry and Middle English Romance","description":"The two manuscripts of the early Middle English chronicle Laʒamon’s \u003ci\u003eBrut\u003c\/i\u003e, British Library MS Cotton Caligula A ix and British Library MS Cotton Otho C xiii, display marked differences in their use of vocabulary. Whereas the vocabulary of the Caligula manuscript is consciously archaising, the lexicon of the Otho text is more modern. This study of the lexical fields ‘hero’, ‘warrior’ and ‘knight’ in the \u003ci\u003eBrut\u003c\/i\u003e chronicle investigates both the backward orientation of the Caligula \u003ci\u003eBrut\u003c\/i\u003e towards Anglo-Saxon heroic poetry and the supposed orientation of the Otho \u003ci\u003eBrut\u003c\/i\u003e towards the newly emerging genre of the Middle English romance. The results highlight the creative use of Old English models in both manuscripts and disprove the hypothesised close link between the Otho \u003ci\u003eBrut\u003c\/i\u003e and the romance genre.","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54248395506008,"sku":"9783631596692","price":79.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783631596692.jpg?v=1766494821","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/la%ca%92amon-s-brut-between-old-english-heroic-poetry-and-middle-english-romance","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
