商品簡介
Sixteen international academics contribute 17 essays honoring British academician T. A. Shippey, whose work of the past four decades has focused on the themes of philology, mythology, and nationalism. The authors consider the "Grimmian Revolution"--the paradigm shift in the humanities that accompanied the publication of Jacob Grimm's Deutsche Grammatik during the 19th century--and its impact on 19th and early-20th century philology in the fields of medieval studies and language studies, and in the construction of Northern European national identities, mythologies, and folklore. For academics and graduate students in the field of medievalism. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
