Medieval Institute Publications

At the end of the fifteenth century, Gavin Douglas devised his ambitious dream vision The Palyce of Honour in part to signal a new scope to Scottish literary culture. While deeply versed in Chaucer's writings, Douglas identified Ovid's Metamorphoses as a particularly timely model in the light of contemporary humanist scholarship. For all its comedy, The Palyce of Honour stands as a reminder to James IV of Scotland that poetry casts a powerful light upon the arts of rule. A new edition of David Parkinson’s 1992 book The Palis of Honoure. Medieval Institute Publications at Western Michigan University publishes the TEAMS Middle English Texts series, which is designed to make available texts that occupy an important place in the literary and cultural canon but have not been readily obtainable in student editions. The focus of Middle English Texts is on Middle English literature adjacent to such major authors as Chaucer or Malory. The editions include glosses of difficult words and short introductions on the history of the work, its merits, points of topical interest and brief bibliographies.

"General Gavin was a very brave man who had great faith in his men. The battle or the weather never stopped him from going to check the troops. He would go in the rain or snow. If the battle was severe, he would crawl from foxhole to foxhole to talk to his men to let them know he was with them. Words cannot explain the love and pride I had for General Gavin." - Walter Woods, World War II aide to General GavinLieutenant General James Gavin, commander of the 82nd Airborne Division during WWII, is one of the best-known figures of the war. Beginning as the commander of the 505th Parachute Combat Team that spearheaded the American assault on Sicily in July 1943, Gavin advanced to division command and finally command of US forces in Berlin. Throughout this time he kept a wartime diary that starts in April 1943, as the unit was preparing to go to northern Africa, and continues through to his final entry on 1 September 1945 during the occupation of Berlin.During the war years, Gavin came into close contact with virtually all the leading airborne commanders and many others who would advance to the top levels of Army leadership. His diary includes observations on fellow military and political leaders, such as General Dwight Eisenhower and the British Field Marshal Montgomery, Army operations, and the general's personal life. Gavin was an officer who led by example: on four combat jumps - into Sicily, at Salerno, then Normandy and the Netherlands - he was the first man out the door. Two Distinguished Service Crosses, two Silver Stars, and the Purple Heart rewarded his service.For decades, Gavin kept the existence of the journal a secret; the general's family discovered it among his belongings after his death. Editor Lewis "Bob" Sorley has worked closely with the Gavin family and the Army Heritage Center to prepare the diary for publication. His edited and annotated version includes a prologue and epilogue to frame the entries within the wider scope of the general's life.

Gavin Macleod had apocalyptic goals. With a catastrophe created, he believed the humans would turn to him for help. It was his destiny as he had found a portal, which exposed him to the game of life. Every step had fallen into place but in the shadows, someone else had ideas of grandeur. A superior being had watched over him and observed other species interact with Gavin. He also wanted to change history and had kept an eye on the ones who coaxed the Macleod Clan from the Norse King. No one could interfere with the being's plans and when Gavin fell in love, he intervened. The being wanted a puppet so he integrated with Gavin but a woman stood in his way who had her own ideas.A goddess watched over Gavin and the alien being. She felt responsible for Gavin's actions and would give up her life to change the present situation. Others had sacrificed their lives and their souls waited as they had to solve a puzzle to end the suffering. An ancient relic was needed to trap Gavin's soul. The end was unexpected but life is always unpredictable when, a snake is amongst us.
Gavin & the Jingle Gulls - The Story of the making of a Seagull Supergroup When Gavin the Gull bands together with his buddies to perform a Christmas song for charity, what he doesn't expect is to end up as part of a seagull supergroup. Ambition soars, but it isn't an easy path to fly to the top of the gull charts. Personalities clash, egos inflate, and bickering is rife. When the famous Lady Serena and the Seagull Songstresses arrive, things only get more complicated. This heartwarming story of Gavin, Stasher, Gobbler, Slowfly, Screecher, and Dropper by Norfolk author Sally Lloyd is a hilarious read, full of gull humour and adventure. Gavin the Gull is already well known in the county as Sally's mascot for her photography and design business. He even has his own Instagram and Facebook accounts. "While people usually have strong views on the antics of seagulls, which are often pretty negative, Gavin the Gull has always been viewed with affection by my customers. Gavin and the Jingle Gulls is the first story of many. I live by the River Wensum, where there is daily inspiration from the seagulls that live there. You don't have to love seagulls to enjoy this book, but by the end of it, you are sure to see them in a whole new light."
