First English translation of key chronicle for study of the rise of the Normans. This is the first English translation of a powerful work of semi-imaginary history which gave the Normans a past, present, and future at the outset of their triumphant century. Completed in or soon after 1015 by a visiting Frenchscholar, it is a study in verse and prose of one family's rise from defeat and exile in the world of the heathen Vikings to an honoured place among the great territorial rulers of France. It recounts two campaigns in England by the founder, Rollo, and a series of stirring political, military and religious events on the Continent, most notably the dreadful murder of Rollo's son William, and the kidnapping, escape and precarious early career of Dudo's firstpatron, Count Richard I. The author's exuberant imagination is matched by his language, so presenting the unwary reader with difficulties, which ERIC CHRISTIANSEN notes and discusses throughout, defining and explaining themany poetic metres and prose embellishments used, and identifying the sources of numerous borrowings; he also re-examines and collates the manuscripts and printed versions of the text, and considers the most recent scholarship inthe field. The late ERIC CHRISTIANSEN was Fellow of New College and University Lecturer at Oxford.

Quentin Tarantino is one of the most influential filmmakers to emerge in the last half-century. His films have been both critically acclaimed and embraced by audiences. With an oeuvre that includes such iconic films as Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill Volumes 1&2, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, among others, Tarantino's work has had a significant impact on popular culture with his work frequently being quoted, imitated, and cited in films, on television, and in literature. Over the span of Tarantino's career, critics and scholars have studied and debated the methods, artistry, and legitimacy of his work. This book of original essays assembles a range of critical thought, observation, and debate about the importance of these films, the underlying themes found within them, their historical significance, and Tarantino's artistic methods. These essays employ new perspectives while building on the insights of previous studies. Topics include Tarantino's approach to subject matter involving race, Tarantino's use of pastiche as a form of adaptation, the significance of the appearance of feet in the films, and an examination of Tarantino's reworking of Elmore Leonard's novel Rum Punch in his film Jackie Brown.

"A rousing shoot 'em up worthy of any western fan and with plenty of howling devils for any horror fan." Alan Black In the Old West, Quentin Cain was easily the most wanted man. There weren't many banks or trains he hadn't robbed. He killed men and molested women. He was an untamable animal, committing violent crimes without a second thought. Like all bad men, however, the law eventually caught him and they hanged him. That should have been the end of it and with anyone else it would have been. It turns out Hell didn't know what to do with Cain either. Now Cain has fought his way back to the Mortal World...but no matter how many demons Lucifer sends to the Old West to recapture him, Cain isn't going back,
