Описание: An ugly subject, but one that needs to be treated thoroughly and comprehensively, with a discreet wit and no excessive relish. These needs are richly satisfied in Larissa Tracy's bold and important book. DEREK PEARSALL, Professor Emeritus, Harvard University. Torture - that most notorious aspect of medieval culture and society - has evolved into a dominant mythology, suggesting that the Middle Ages was a period during which sadistic torment was inflicted on citizens with impunity and without provocation: popular museums displaying such gruesome implements as the rack, the strappado, the gridiron, the wheel, and the Iron Maiden can be found in many modern European cities. These lurid images of medieval torture have re-emerged within recent discussions on American foreign policy and the introduction of torture legislation as a weapon in the "War on Terror", and raised questions about its history and reality, particularly given its proliferation in some literary genres and its relative absence in others. This book challenges preconceived ideas about the prevalence of torture and judicial brutality in medieval society by arguing that their portrayal in literature is not mimetic. Instead, it argues that the depictions of torture and brutality represent satire, critique and dissent; they have didactic and political functions in opposing the status quo. Torture and brutality are intertextual literary motifs that negotiate cultural anxieties of national identity; by situating these practices outside their own boundaries in the realm of the barbarian "Other", medieval and early-modern authors define themselves and their nations in opposition to them. Works examined range from Chaucer to the Scandinavian sagas to Shakespeare, enabling a true comparative approach to be taken. Larissa Tracy is Associate Professor, Longwood University.

Описание: WRAITH, a vampire with a tortured past, is wild, strikingly attractive, and the most skilled fighter in both the human and demon realms...and he's dying. Given
only weeks to live, he has only two options: seduce a human woman inorder to take possession of her invulnerability charm...or die. SERENA is a treasure hunter and has lived a
charmed life - literally.
At the age of six, a fatal disease nearly killed Serena, until her mother passed down her charm to Serena, making her immune to injury and death. But
there is a price: she will loose her charm to the one she is intimate with. Worse, with the charm no longer keeping her disease in check, she will die.
But as she starts to fall for
the young and dying Wraith, she realizes her own loneliness, and starts to wonder if living forever is worth the price.
