Description
"Though present-day critics, who concentrate on form, generally find the epic discontinuous in the Middle Ages, Astell argues that the genre persisted as the biblical book of Job and Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy were imitated and alluded to as examples throughout the period. . . . The scholarship is prodigious, the argument convincing, and the Christian stance congenial to the subject. Highly recommended."--Choice
