    Series Statement: Cambridge studies in Medieval literature
    Content: In this fascinating study, Geoffrey Russom traces the evolution of the major English poetic traditions by reference to the evolution of the English language, and considers how verse forms are born, how they evolve, and why they die. Using a general theory of poetic form employing universal principles rooted in the human language faculty, Russom argues that certain kinds of poetry tend to arise spontaneously in languages with identifiable characteristics. Language changes may require modification of metrical rules and may eventually lead to extinction of a meter. Russom's theory is applied to explain the development of English meters from the earliest alliterative poems in Old and Middle English and the transition to iambic meter in the Modern English period. This thorough yet accessible study provides detailed analyses of form in key poems, including Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and a glossary of technical terms.

    Content: The Cambridge History of Latin American Women's Literature is an essential resource for anyone interested in the development of women's writing in Latin America. Ambitious in scope, it explores women's literature from ancient indigenous cultures to the beginning of the twenty-first century. Organized chronologically and written by a host of leading scholars, this History offers an array of approaches that contribute to current dialogues about translation, literary genres, oral and written cultures, and the complex relationship between literature and the political sphere. Covering subjects from cronistas in Colonial Latin America and nation-building to feminicide and literature of the indigenous elite, this History traces the development of a literary tradition while remaining grounded in contemporary scholarship. The Cambridge History of Latin American Women's Literature will not only engage readers in ongoing debates but also serve as a definitive reference for years to come.

    Content: "[...] un ouvrage qui devrait devenir un classique des études métriques."Jean-Louis Aroui in: Canadian Journal of Linguistics 3/2007
    Content: This book will create greater public awareness of some recent exciting findings in the formal study of poetry. The last influential volume on the subject, Rhythm and Meter , edited by Paul Kiparsky and Gilbert Youmans, appeared fifteen years ago. Since that time, a number of important theoretical developments have taken place, which have led to new approaches to the analysis of meter. This volume represents some of the most exciting current thinking on the theory of meter. In terms of empirical coverage, the papers focus on a wide variety of languages, including English, Finnish, Estonian, Russian, Japanese, Somali, Old Norse, Latin, and Greek. Thus, the collection is truly international in its scope. The volume also contains diverse theoretical approaches that are brought together for the first time, including Optimality Theory (Kiparsky, Hammond), other constraint-based approaches (Friedberg, Hall, Scherr), the Quantitative approach to verse (Tarlinskaja, Friedberg, Hall, Scherr, Youmans) associated with the Russian school of metrics, a mora-based approach (Cole and Miyashita, Fitzgerald), a semantic-pragmatic approach (Fabb), and an alternative generative approach developed in Estonia (M. Lotman and M. K. Lotman). The book will be of interest to both linguists interested in stress and speech rhythm, constraint systems, phrasing, and phonology-syntax interaction and poetry, as well as to students of poetry interested in the connection between language and literature.

    Content: For many, the Middle Ages in general evokes a sense of thesinister and brings to mind a world of fear, superstition, andreligious fanaticism. For Jews it was a period marked bypersecutions, pogroms, and expulsions. Yet at the same time, theMiddle Ages was also a time of lively cultural exchange andheightened creativity for Jews. In 〈em〉The Jewish Middle Ages〈/em〉,contributors explore the ways in which the stories of biblicalwomen, including, Eve, Sarah, Hagar, Rebekah, Zipporah, Ruth,Esther, and Judith, make their way into the rich tapestry ofmedieval Jewish literature, mystical texts, and art, particularlyin works emanating from Ashkenazic circles. Contributors includeCarol Bakhos, Judith R. Baskin, Elisheva Baumgarten, DagmarBörner-Klein, Constanza Cordoni, Rachel Elior, Meret Gutmann-Grün,Robert A. Harris, Yuval Katz-Wilfing, Sheila Tuller Keiter, KatrinKogman-Appel, Gerhard Langer, Aurora Salvatierra Ossorio, andFelicia Waldman. These essays give us a glimpse into the role womenplayed and the authority they assumed in medieval Jewish culturebeyond the rabbinic centers of Palestine and Babylonia.

It does so within a variety of linguistic and cultural contexts, paying special attention to literature emanating from Ashkenazic circles. -- During the medieval period, Jews were given considerable communal autonomy, affording leaders an opportunity to control the degree to which community members engaged in non-Jewish practices.

Eleazar ben Judah modeled his eulogy on the last chapter of Proverbs (Prov 31:10-31), starting each line with a quote from Proverbs and then elaborating on Dulcia's own life.

The book purports to provide the historical origins of the festival.¹ The narrative as transmitted in the Hebrew Bible may be summed up as follows. Under the reign of Ahasuerus, the Jewish communities of his kingdom faced annihilation because of the malicious plans of the vizier Haman.

She puts on her most beautiful clothing and, together with her maidservant, goes into the enemy camp and succeeds in calling upon Holofernes.

Judith, for example, who for a long time played hardly any role in the Jewish tradition, emerges from obscurity.¹ Along with genres already known from late antiquity, such as midrash, piyyut, or parabiblical narratives, there appear now, among others, the commentary, the sermon, and the mystical treatment of the tradition. The halakic pervasion of the commandments is further developed; rules of faith are established.

And, much like their exegetical predecessors, Jewish medieval commentators were not of one mind in their characterization of these biblical figures. They scrutinize biblical passages for what is said and what is intended to be said, for not only the meaning on the surface but also the meaning in the interstices of any given verse or phrase. This is especially the case with. . . -- The Voice of the Woman: Narrating the Song of Songs in Twelfth-Century Rabbinic Exegesis(pp. 103-132) -- The Voice of the Woman: Narrating the Song of Songs in Twelfth-Century Rabbinic Exegesis(pp. 103-132) -- Robert A. Harris -- https://doi.org/10.2307/jj.1176891.11 -- https://www.jstor.org/stable/jj.1176891.11 -- From the period of canonization through the premodern era, the Song of Songs has been almost universally interpreted as an allegorical work. This holds true for Christianity as well as Judaism. Rabbinic masters such as Rabbi Akiva championed the book as celebrating God's love for the people of Israel and narrating (among other things) the exodus from Egypt and the revelation of the Torah on Mount Sinai.¹ While exegesis of the Song is found throughout ancient rabbinic literature (both talmudim and midrashim), the most centralized location for rabbinic interpretation eventually found its expression in the midrash on the Song of. . . -- The Irony of the Eshet Hayil: Proverbs 31:10-31 in Jewish Medieval Exegesis(pp. 133-150) -- The Irony of the Eshet Hayil: Proverbs 31:10-31 in Jewish Medieval Exegesis(pp. 133-150) -- Sheila Tuller Keiter -- https://doi.org/10.2307/jj.1176891.12 -- https://www.jstor.org/stable/jj.1176891.12 -- The book of Proverbs, along with Ecclesiastes and the book of Job, constitutes a major portion of the Jewish Bible's wisdom literature. Like Song of Songs and Ecclesiastes, Proverbs attributes its authorship to King Solomon. Following the lead of the rabbis of the Talmud and midrash, the rabbinic commentators of the Middle Ages took the Solomonic authorship of these books for granted. However, the rabbis of the Middle Ages made little effort to read into Proverbs content specific to the Solomon narrative beyond that which was already contained in midrash. This includes their treatment of the final twenty-two verses of. . . -- Hasidei Ashkenaz -- Representations of Biblical Women in the Writings of the Hasidei Ashkenaz(pp. 153-170) -- Representations of Biblical Women in the Writings of the Hasidei Ashkenaz(pp. 153-170) -- Judith R.

Particularly from the time of the Caliphate of Córdoba, the Jews of al-Andalus were a people who prided themselves on living exclusively in accordance with the religious values that served as their sign of identity, zealously protecting themselves from outside influences and yet feeling attracted by the intellectual and artistic climate of the era.

On the basis of the Hebrew forms, it cannot be determined whether the "I" who is speaking here is masculine or feminine. But the voice sounds like an echo from Song 5:7 where the loving woman laments that watchmen beat her. Here though, the voice adds being loved and being spurned to that scene of being beaten, elements that are not found in the Song of Songs. These scenes possibly allude to the bitter postbiblical experiences of Zion as a mirror image of the Jewish people.

Each inflection of a verb in all of its tenses, each and every pronoun, every pluralization of a noun and its accompanying adjective, each compound construct (noun or adjective) touching on person, object, or concept-in all such cases the speaker or writer must choose between the feminine or masculine form of expression.

Kabbalistic thought revolutionized the Jewish world and its outlook on everything, from daily life to social interaction and even international relations. It presented ideas that challenged the establishment, sometimes even verging on heresy, but which were always daring and eventually managed to win the support of a vast number of the members of the Jewish elite class. -- Kabbalah was. . . -- The Figure of Ruth as a Convert in the Zohar(pp. 263-282) -- The Figure of Ruth as a Convert in the Zohar(pp. 263-282) -- Yuval Katz-Wilfing -- https://doi.org/10.2307/jj.1176891.18 -- https://www.jstor.org/stable/jj.1176891.18 -- The biblical figure of Ruth is the protagonist of the book of Ruth or the scroll of Ruth (Megillat Ruth), a rather small book of only four chapters in the Hebrew Bible.
