Book excerpt: While staying with his father in Rome for the summer, twelve-year old Andy travels back in time and finds himself in the middle of a horrifying event at the Roman Colosseum almost two thousand years ago - during the time of the gladiators. As he journeys through centuries, he meets Leonardo DaVinci, Queen Elizabeth, and a girl that he wishes lived in his time. Superstitions and paranoia abound in the Middle Ages, and after Andy becomes a prisoner in the Tower of London and the subject of a witch hunt, he will need more than courage to keep himself and his friends alive. Jennifer Soboleski lives in Indiana with her husband and two young sons. She earned her Masters of Education degree from Indiana Wesleyan University and has been a teacher of English at the intermediate and middle school levels for the last 16 years. As a Fulbright Memorial Fund Scholar, she traveled to Japan and studied their culture and educational system. She is a volunteer for CASA (Court-Appointed Special Advocate), a child advocacy program and one of the largest volunteer organizations in the country that help to safeguard the best interests of children who have been abused or neglected. Mrs. Soboleski is also a 2012 fellowship recipient of the Teacher Creativity Grant offered through the Lilly Endowment. Her project allowed her to travel to England, France, and Italy to research and gather material for writing this book, a sequel to her first book, Midwest Mischief: An Historical Indiana Adventure, published in 2009.

Book Synopsis Medieval Religion and its Anxieties by : Thomas A. Fudgé
Download or read book Medieval Religion and its Anxieties written by Thomas A. Fudgé. This book was released on 2016-10-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the broad varieties of religious belief, religious practices, and the influence of religion within medieval society. Religion in the Middle Ages was not monolithic. Medieval religion and the Latin Church are not synonymous. While theology and liturgy are important, an examination of animal trials, gargoyles, last judgments, various aspects of the medieval underworld, and the quest for salvation illuminate lesser known dimensions of religion in the Middle Ages. Several themes run throughout the book including visual culture, heresy and heretics, law and legal procedure, along with sexuality and an awareness of mentalities and anxieties. Although an expanse of 800 years has passed, the remains of those other Middle Ages can be seen today, forcing us to reassess our evaluations of this alluring and often overlooked past.

Book Synopsis English Medieval Misericords by : Paul Hardwick
Download or read book English Medieval Misericords written by Paul Hardwick. This book was released on 2011. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Misericord carvings present a fascinating corpus of medieval art which, in turn, complements our knowledge of life and belief in the late middle ages. Subjects range from the sacred to the profane and from the fantastic to the everyday, seemingly giving equal weight to the scatological and the spiritual alike. Focusing specifically on England - though with cognisance of broader European contexts - this volume offers an analysis of misericords in relation to other cultural artefacts of the period. Through a series of themed "case studies", the book places misericords firmly within the doctrinal and devotional milieu in which they were created and sited, arguing that even the apparently coarse images to be found beneath choir stalls are intimately linked to the devotional life of the medieval English Church. The analysis is complemented by a gazetteer of the most notable instances. Dr Paul Hardwick is Professor in English, Leeds Trinity University College.
