| romantic knight in shining armor: Bloody Good Allen J. Frantzen, 2004 In the popular imagination, World War I stands for the horror of all wars. The unprecedented scale of the war and the mechanized weaponry it introduced to battle brought an abrupt end to the romantic idea that soldiers were somehow knights in shining armor who always vanquished their foes and saved the day. Yet the concept of chivalry still played a crucial role in how soldiers saw themselves in the conflict. Here for the first time, Allen J. Frantzen traces these chivalric ideals from the Great War back to their origins in the Middle Ages and shows how they resulted in highly influential models of behavior for men in combat. Drawing on a wide selection of literature and images from the medieval period, along with photographs, memorials, postcards, war posters, and film from both sides of the front, Frantzen shows how such media shaped a chivalric ideal of male sacrifice based on the Passion of Jesus Christ. He demonstrates, for instance, how the wounded body of Christ became the inspiration for heroic male suffering in battle. For some men, the Crucifixion inspired a culture of revenge, one in which Christ's bleeding wounds were venerated as badges of valor and honor. For others, Christ's sacrifice inspired action more in line with his teachings—a daring stay of hands or reason not to visit death upon one's enemies. Lavishly illustrated and eloquently written, Bloody Good will be must reading for anyone interested in World War I and the influence of Christian ideas on modern life. |

| romantic knight in shining armor: Toward a Positive Psychology of Relationships Meg A. Warren, Stewart I. Donaldson, 2017-12-01 Providing an invaluable resource for scholars and researchers, this book investigates positive psychology and relationships theory and research across a range of settings and life stages—intimate, work, educational, senior/retirement, and in the context of diversity. Nearly universally, relationships are a key source of what we all seek in life: happiness, fulfillment, and well-being. The experts who contributed to this novel volume apply the framework of positive psychology to the findings of relationships research across a variety of practical contexts. What actions create and sustain respectful, caring, joyous, stimulating, and loving relationships? How do people rich in friendship, intimacy, and interpersonal skills think and behave? How do they unconsciously cultivate positive relationships? This book brings together authoritative reviews, cutting-edge research, and thoughtful scholarship that serve to answer these questions and document the benefit of positive relationships in a variety of settings and across the human life span. Following a comprehensive introduction, the book addresses positive intimate relationships, positive relationships at work, positive relationships during different stages of life (in youth, in adolescence, and among older adults), and positive relationships intersecting with diversity. The chapters underscore the simple concept that relationships are central to what makes life worth living and are fundamental to well-being across all life domains as they play out at home, in school, at work, in retirement homes, and in the community at large. |

| romantic knight in shining armor: Led to Slaughter Shawna Deliah, 2003-05-27 Tarah was a daughter, a mother, sister and wife, a dancer, a scout and ultimately a statistic of AIDS. Yet, in the end she shares her memories with a lifeless machine. She tells this heartless thing all the lessons of love, lies and lust that she has learned and endured, in a series of flashbacks to her earliest memories. Her descriptions offer a macabre sampling of abuse, incest, nightmares, rape, terror, death and a taste of love. While coping with the circumstances of her young life, she learns the most important and tragic lesson of allthat promiscuity can kill. Bizarre twists of fate and fancy cause love, pain, affection, sadness and joy to become a blended confusion in her mind. She becomes a victim of her own innocence, ignorance and guilt. After enjoying a thoroughly engrossing read, you will be left with a memory that could haunt your thoughts for the rest of your life. However, dont expect it to read like a lecture. |
