The illustrations, many appearing here for the first time, and extensive quotes from ancient letters, hymns, funerary texts and law codes, enliven the text.

John Milton (1608-1674) is one of those authors who do not leave anybody impassive. Anyone who has read any of his poems or prose tracts is likely to either love or hate him, but very rarely do his readers remain indifferent to his words. The vast majority of books, essays and articles dealing with the gender issue have been made particularly with the eyes set on Eve. This interest in Eve is precisely why this book takes a different perspective. Namely, this work proposes a thorough look at Milton’s other women, so to speak. In other words, avoiding a direct analysis of Eve, what this work aims at is to search for any trace of feminine characters in some of Milton’s poetic and prose works and see their importance and relevance in Milton’s work as a whole. The author is a lecturer in several faculties of Iberian Studies in Warsaw, Poland. He has written two books in Spanish, namely, ”De Madrid a Varsovia” (2007) and ”Un dia cualquiera” (2011). He is also an active translator from Spanish into English and author os several learning courses.

Proceedings of international conference at NUI Maynooth on Goethe's contribution to music. Goethe was interested in, and acutely aware of, the place of music in human experience generally - and of its particular role in modern culture. Moreover, his own literary work - especially the poetry and Faust - inspired some of the major composers of the European tradition to produce some of their finest works.' (Martin Swales) [Subject: Music Studies, Goethe]

The number of surviving medieval secular poems attributed to named female authors is small, some of the best known being those of the trobairitz the female troubadours of southern France. However, there is a large body of poetry that constructs a particular textual femininity through the use of the female voice. Some of these poems are by men and a few by women (including the trobairitz); many are anonymous, and often the gender of the poet is unresolvable. A "woman's song" in this sense can be defined as a female-voice poem on the subject of love, typically characterized by simple language, sexual candor, and apparent artlessness. The chapters in Medieval Woman's Song bring together scholars in a range of disciplines to examine how both men and women contributed to this art form. Without eschewing consideration of authorship, the collection deliberately overturns the long-standing scholarly practice of treating as separate and distinct entities female-voice lyrics composed by men and those composed by women. What is at stake here is less the voice of women themselves than its cultural and generic construction.
