The Vernacular Spirit : Essays on Medieval Religious Literature Paperback / softback
Edited by R. Blumenfeld-Kosinski, N. Warren, D. Robertson
Part of the The New Middle Ages series
Paperback / softback
Description
The late-medieval movement into 'vernacular theology,' as it has come to be called, inspired many forms of literary expression, in all the languages of Europe.
Spanning a wide field, the contributors to this volume consider hagiography, translations of and commentaries on scripture, accounts of visionary experiences, and devotional literature.
Their essays illuminate encounters with the divine mediated through language, bringing into play a diversity of national cultures and disciplinary points of view.
They also engage vital social and political issues connected with religious experience, including challenges to authority, reinterpretations of texts, and renegotiations of gender roles.
