Bøger af Katherine Maynard

Reconsiders the role of epic poetry during the French Wars of Religion, the series of wars between Catholics and Protestants that dominated France between 1562 and 1598. Katherine Maynard argues that the wars did not hinder epic poetry, but rather French poets responded to the crisis by using epic poetry to reimagine France's present and future.

In the wake of Guantanamo Bay, extraordinary renditions, and secret torture centres in Eastern Europe and elsewhere, this book addresses the relationship between law and wild or vigilante justice - between the power to enforce retribution and the desire to seek revenge.
