In Medieval Secular Literature: Four Essays, the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies at UCLA captures the vibrant intellectual and social spirit of its inaugural colloquium held in April 1964. This event brought together a diverse group of scholars from across disciplines—spanning literature, history, art, and music—to explore the richness of medieval secular traditions. Rather than adhering to a single thematic thread, the conference embraced a variety of topics and perspectives, akin to the eclectic approach of a Welsh sermon meant to spark individual reflection. The resulting essays reflect this interdisciplinary and dynamic exchange, capturing the essence of the lively discussions and camaraderie that defined the gathering. This collection stands as both a testament to the colloquium’s success and a source of inspiration for scholars and enthusiasts of medieval studies.This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1965.

The Ill-Framed Knight: A Skeptical Inquiry into the Identity of Sir Thomas Malory embarks on a meticulous and spirited investigation into the enigmatic figure behind the Le Morte d'Arthur. Author William Matthews recounts a decades-long scholarly quest sparked by a deceptively simple question, weaving through archives, libraries, and historical records in search of answers. This book offers not only a critical exploration of Malory's identity but also a vivid journey through the fields of genealogy, linguistics, and medieval history, inviting readers to join the intellectual "hunt" that has captivated the author for years.With its lively prose and sharp skepticism, Matthews’ work is more than an academic inquiry—it’s a celebration of the process of discovery. Acknowledging the collaborative contributions of scholars, archivists, and institutions worldwide, Matthews presents a study that is at once rigorous and deeply personal. This book challenges established assumptions and raises new questions, providing readers with the excitement of unearthing historical puzzles and a fresh perspective on one of literature's enduring mysteries.This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.

Discover the design, craftsmanship, and cultural impact of the bolo tie, in all its diversity and richness.A celebration of a unique American art form, this volume showcases more than 500 bolo pieces, many of which have never before been published, alongside photographs of cultural icons wearing them.With origins in the American southwest more than one hundred years ago, the bolo tie is a handcrafted form of jewelry that can take many forms, embracing motifs from nature, animals, and geometry. Some bolos are quite simple—stunning pieces of engraved silver—others ornate and opulent, with inlaid mosaics and intricate designs of precious gems and stones.But while bolos embody the heritage and style of the American West, they are also customized to become powerful forms of self-expression.

Featuring work from the communities of Hopi, Navajo, and Zuni artists, as well others around the country, the book is organized thematically, allowing readers to discover connections across eras, regions, and styles.A fashion statement and a cultural touchstone, every bolo tells a story. Beautiful photographs showcase each piece’s craftsmanship and character, and the texts provide context and insight into their origins, symbolism.
