Böcker av William Calin

Calin develops a synthesis of medieval French and English literature that will be especially useful for classroom study.

In The Lily and the Thistle, William Calin argues for a reconsideration of the French impact on medieval and renaissance Scottish literature.

Calin explores the 20th-century renaissance of literature in the minority languages of Scots, Breton, and Occitan, and demonstrates that all three literatures have evolved in a like manner, repudiating their romantic folk heritage.

Revisits the work and place of eight scholars contemporary with Anglo-American New Criticism. This work considers the achievements of each critic, examining his methodology and basic presuppositions as well as the critiques marshalled against him. It also explores their relation to history, to canon-formation, and to our theoretical debates.
