| Synopsis: |
Carolingian historical texts have long been held at the base of our modern knowledge about the eighth and ninth centuries. The ninth century gave birth to a new revival of secular biography, which has come to be recognized as one of the brightest bands in the spectrum of Carolingian historical writing. This collection brings together, for the first time in one volume, the five royal/imperial biographies written during the Carolingian period. Thomas F.X. Noble's new English translations of these five important texts - "Einhard's Life of Emperor Charles", "Notker's Deeds of Charles the Great", "Ermoldus Nigellus' Poem in Honor of Louis", "Thegan's Deeds of Emperor Louis", and the "Life of Louis" by 'the Astronomer' - are each accompanied by a short introduction and a note on 'Essential Reading'. Offering details on matters of style, sources used by the author, and the influence, if any, exerted by the texts, Noble provides a context for each translation, without compromising the author's intended voice.By 'reuniting' these five essential medieval texts in an English translation, this volume makes these voices accessible to scholars and nonexperts alike, throughout the Anglophone world. |
