Incest is a remarkably frequent theme in medieval literature; it occurs in a wide range of genres, including romances, saints's lives, and exempla. Historically, the Church in the later Middle Ages was very concerned about breaches of the complex laws against incest, which was defined very broadly at the time to cover family relationships outside the nuclear family and also spiritual relationships through baptism. Medieval writers accepted that incestuous desire was a widespread phenomenon among women as well as men. They are surprisingly open about incest, though of course they disapprove of it; in many exemplary stories incest is identified with original sin, but the moral emphasizes the importance of contrition and the availability of grace even to such heinous sinners. This study begins with a brief account of the development of medieval incest laws, and the extent to which they were obeyed. Next comes a survey of classical incest stories and their legacy; many were retold in the Middle Ages, but they were frequently adapted to the purposes of Christian moralizers. In the three chapters that follow, homegrown medieval incest stories are grouped by relationship: mother-son (focusing on the Gregorius legend), father-daughter (focusing on La Manekine and its analogues), and sibling (focusing on the Arthurian legend). The final chapter considers the very common medieval trope of the Virgin Mary as mother, daughter, sister and bride of Christ, the one exception to the incest taboo. In western society today, incest has recently been recognized as a serious social problem, and has also become a frequent theme in both fiction and non-fiction, just as it was in the Middle Ages. This interdisciplinary study is the first broad survey of medieval incest stories in Latin and the vernaculars (mainly French, English and German). It situates the incest theme in both literary and cultural contexts, and offers many thought-provoking comparisons and contrasts to our own society in terms of gender relations, the power of patriarchy, the role of religious institutions in regulating morality, and the relationship between life and literature.

Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - Fanny's First Play, being but a potboiler, needs no preface. But its lesson is not, I am sorry to say, unneeded. Mere morality, or the substitution of custom for conscience was once accounted a shameful and cynical thing: people talked of right and wrong, of honor and dishonor, of sin and grace, of salvation and damnation, not of morality and immorality. The word morality, if we met it in the Bible, would surprise us as much as the word telephone or motor car. Nowadays we do not seem to know that there is any other test of conduct except morality; and the result is that the young had better have their souls awakened by disgrace, capture by the police, and a month's hard labor, than drift along from their cradles to their graves doing what other people do for no other reason than that other people do it, and knowing nothing of good and evil, of courage and cowardice, or indeed anything but how to keep hunger and concupiscence and fashionable dressing within the bounds of good taste except when their excesses can be concealed. Is it any wonder that I am driven to offer to young people in our suburbs the desperate advice: Do something that will get you into trouble? But please do not suppose that I defend a state of things which makes such advice the best that can be given under the circumstances, or that I do not know how difficult it is to find out a way of getting into trouble that will combine loss of respectability with integrity of self-respect and reasonable consideration for other peoples' feelings and interests on every point except their dread of losing their own respectability. But when there's a will there's a way. I hate to see dead people walking about: it is unnatural. And our respectable middle class people are all as dead as mutton. Out of the mouth of Mrs Knox I have delivered on them the judgment of her God.

Hay lecturas que nos acompañan a lo largo de la vida. Textos que nos reflejan, iluminan o inspiran hasta el punto de que la emoción que nos producen acaba transformándolos en una «fuente de consuelo y sabiduría». Ése es el acercamiento que propone el prestigioso periodista, escritor y enólogo Harry Eyres a la obra de Horacio, el poeta clásico. Combinando con sutileza su propia deriva biográfica con la del poeta, estableciendo paralelismos entre la Roma del siglo I a.C. y el mundo actual, Eyres retrata al hijo de esclavo liberto que llevaría la lírica latina a su cénit con una vívida riqueza de matices. Horacio se vuelve cercano, sorprendentemente contemporáneo, no sólo por las sentencias que le han hecho popular –« carpe diem », « dulce et decorum est pro patria mori »– sino por su defensa de la amistad –Virgilio y Mecenas se contaban entre sus amigos –, de los pequeños placeres y de la vida tranquila en el campo –« beatus ille »–, por su canto al vino humilde y su disposición a renunciar a prebendas para conservar su libertad..., pero también por su mal genio y su a veces exacerbada ironía. Hombre complejo y leal, puede que Horacio nunca pretendiera ser un maestro, pero es mucho lo que se puede aprender de él, porque, como hace Eyres, siempre se puede recurrir a sus versos, «más duraderos que el bronce», como si se buscaran las palabras de un amigo.
