The Cambridge Companion to Folk Music
A groundbreaking critical introduction to folk music and song focused on questions of identity, community, representation, politics, and popular culture. Written by a distinguished international team of authors, this Companion is an indispensable resource for rethinking the confluence of sound, heritage, and identity in the twenty-first century. A unique addition to the literature, it highlights the fundamentally hybrid and (post)colonial dynamic…
Folk and the Public Sphere
This chapter traces the role of folk music in the changing mediascape in North America from the 1940s to the 1960s. Beginning from Jürgen Habermas’s well-known notion of the ‘public sphere’, the essay locates the folk revival at the intersection of new spaces (Greenwich Village) and new media (the long-playing record). It shows how the technology of the LP made possible juxtapositions of songs from all over the world. With the Weavers, the Kingst…

Cheerfulness: A Literary and Cultural History
Cultural Transmission and the Early French Novel
Whereas much scholarship on the history of the novel focuses on its relationship to large narrative forms such as epic or romance, this chapter argues that the novella tradition plays a central role in the development of the novelistic world. We show how intercalated novellas, translated or adapted from Italian or Spanish, inflect the emergence of the French novelistic canon, functioning as sites at which cultural difference is explored and manag…
The theology of cheer, Erasmus to Shakespeare
Timothy Hampton’s work on ‘The theology of cheer, Erasmus to Shakespeare’ traces the dual nature of cheer as it is used in humanist writings as both a physiological designation of the face and an emotive. He argues that the bodily nature of cheer links practices of the Church and religious belonging to secular practices of sociability and hospitality, and he traces how these circulations of cheer in theological writings become the representationa…
Sancho's Fortune: Money and Narrative Truth in Don Quixote
As David Quint's work has shown, one of the principal thematic concerns of Cervantes's Don Quixote involves the clash between traditional chivalric values and the values of an emerging "money" economy. This essay explores Sancho Panza's entry into that new economy. It shows how Sancho's dealings with money consistently raise issues about truth and lying, and about the veracity of narrative. And it traces Sancho's increasing awareness of how liter…
Bob Dylan in the Country
At the close of the 1960s two developments changed the shape of mainstream rock and roll music. The first was a new focus, on the part of a number of influential artists, on music about domestic life-kids, spouses, home. The second was a new interest in blending rock rhythms with instrumentation and themes taken from country music. This essay explores the ways in which these two concerns overlap in the work of Bob Dylan. I argue that Dylan's work…

Virgil in India: Epic, History, and Military Tactics in the Lusiads
Virgil in India:Epic, History, and Military Tactics in the Lusiads Timothy Hampton Camões begins the Lusiads, his great epic on Vasco da Gama’s journey to India, by brushing aside both classical models of epic and the tradition of Italian romance. Forget, he says, “the journeys of the subtle Greek and the Trojan”—that is, Odysseus and Aeneas—and let’s hear no more of Alexander or Trajan. Here we have a new experience, the experience of the Portug…
Absolutely Modern
Bob Dylan's turn from "folk music" to "electric music" in the 1960s involves the development of a new visionary poetics. Through a consideration of his affinity with the French Symbolist poet Arthur Rimbaud, this essay traces Dylan's recasting of himself as a visionary and studies the pressures placed by this process on lyric form, on poetic diction, and on the representation of the self in popular music

Comment a nom: Humanism and Literary Knowledge in Auerbach and Rabelais
This essay studies the relationship between Erich Auerbach's account of the beginnings of literary modernity, in his well-known work on Rabelais, and the Renaissance humanism that informs both his scholarly enterprise and Rabelais's fictions. Through a study of Rabelais's depictions of the female body it shows that Rabelais's text both breaks with earlier modes of understanding bodies and narratives and questions its own authority to do so. In a …

Amorosa Visione
Montaigne and the Body of Socrates: Narrative and Exemplarity in the Essais
Near the beginning of his essay on the education of children (I, 26), Montaigne inveighs against the pedagogy of his day. Schools, says Montaigne, are inefficient. They fail to prepare their students for life in the world. Instead of helping their pupils learn to command a nation or befriend a prince, the schools waste their time by forcing them to repeat lifeless formulae. A real education, he suggests, would take the student out of the classroo…
