Who Will Sub For Miss Simmons?

By: Rachel V. Olivier

All Mary, Jill, and Eddie wanted to do was to settle their differences --the old fashioned way. But then Miss Simmons came along...Once upon a time this story was a 2,000 word college paper that was just your basic kids' story. But then it grew up into the little chapter book you see today, complete with pictures that I drew. Myself.Don't expect professional level illustrations in this little book. Do expect to have fun reading the story and seeing how I envisioned it. And if you like, add your own pictures and story in the back.Take, for example, the monster slug pictured, whose profile page says it's three feet tall (liar), bright yellow, likes long slides in dark tunnels, and prefers sautéing fresh children with a dash of fennel and sliced mushrooms...

The Holly and the Ivan

By: Rachel V. Olivier

On the eve of her band's biggest performance, a Christmas festival raising funds for the homeless, Holly meets two intriguing men, but even she can't date both at the same time. So now the question is: which one? It takes some special holiday magic, a dash of music, and a little help from her friends to figure it out, but Holly's heart wins out in the end.

Single Combat and Warfare in German Literature of the High Middle Ages

Single Combat and Warfare in German Literature of the High Middle Ages

Stricker's 'Karl Der Grosse' and 'Daniel Von Dem Blühenden Tal'

By: Rachel E. Kellett

Combat is one of the central themes of Middle High German narrative literature, and of significant interest to medievalists in general. Nevertheless, few studies to date have attempted a detailed analysis of the depiction of combat in literary texts. Rachel Kellett uses an inclusive approach to the details of combat descriptions in order to analyse minutely the scenes of single combat and battle presented in two major narrative works by Der Stricker, the epic Karl der Grosse and the Arthurian romance Daniel von dem Bluuml;henden Tal, written between 1220 and 1250. The author compares these works with a wide range of other texts, both French and German, and investigates the relationship between Stricker's depiction of combat and that found in the works of Hartmann von Aue and Wolfram von Eschenbach among others. She also draws on historical research into medieval warfare, tournament and the tradition of the judicial combat, which adds valuable depth to her analysis of literary texts. Overall, this study provides new insights into the depiction of combat in Middle High German literature as a whole, while at the same time highlighting hitherto unnoticed aspects of the writings of Der Stricker as an individual author, and bringing a new perspective on the ambiguous role played by combat in the equally ambiguous Daniel von dem Bluuml;henden Tal.
