Constantinople and the West in Medieval French Literature

Renewal and Utopia

By: Rima Devereaux

An indepth examination of the presentation of Constantinople and its complex relationship with the west in medieval French texts. Medieval France saw Constantinople as something of a quintessential ideal city. Aspects of Byzantine life were imitated in and assimilated to the West in a movement of political and cultural renewal, but the Byzantine capital wasalso celebrated as the locus of a categorical and inimitable difference. This book analyses the debate between renewal and utopia in Western attitudes to Constantinople as it evolved through the twelfth and thirteenth centuries in a series of vernacular (Old French, Occitan and Franco-Italian) texts, including the Pèlerinage de Charlemagne, Girart de Roussillon, Partonopeus de Blois, the poetry of Rutebeuf, and the chronicles by Geoffroy de Villehardouin and Robert de Clari, both known as the Conquête de Constantinople. It establishes how the texts' representation of the West's relationship with Constantinople enacts this debate between renewal andutopia; demonstrates that analysis of this relationship can contribute to a discussion on the generic status of the texts themselves; and shows that the texts both react to the socio-cultural context in which they were produced, and fulfil a role within that context. Dr Rima Devereaux is an independent scholar based in London.

Last Thing at Night

Prayers and Readings for the End of the Day

By: Rima Devereaux

Good day or bad, the end of the day is a time for taking stock of the day’s events: celebrating the best, trying to learn from the worst, surrendering them all to God and preparing for sleep. Keep a copy of Last Thing at Night by your bedside, and it will help you end each day with a brief moment of reflection, thanks and praise. The material is arranged in six week-long sections. Based on the Church’s Night Prayer (Compline) and following the ancient monastic tradition, each day opens with a prayer, a psalm, a Gospel reading and a reading from a saint or spiritual writer, and ends with a moment of silence, the Nunc Dimittis, a concluding prayer, a blessing and the Salve Regina. Many of the readings are taken from the works of Carmelite saints and writers such as Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Thérèse of Lisieux and Edith Stein, and have been chosen to help us meditate on the darkness of the world and how the light of Christ comes to fill it and dwell within it.
