内容説明
When studying medieval literature, the modern reader frequently encounters images and characters drawn from Christian thought which, though intriguing, may well be unfamiliar and prove to be a barrier to understanding. This book therefore offers a much-needed, student-friendly introduction to the Christian world-view which so profoundly influenced the creation of many Old and Middle English texts. Written in a lively and accessible style, the book outlines key doctrines and explains terminology in a way which will help readers to understand and appreciate the literature more fully. Each chapter deals with a significant author or group of texts, setting them against the aspects of Christian teaching commonly held to influence them. The unique Reference Section provides a short chronological history of the Early Church, together with brief biographies of key figures, an introduction to the teachings, worship and organisation of the medieval Church, a glossary and extensive bibliography. Subjects covered in the reference section are clearly highlighted in the text to provide easy access to background information.
Images of Faith is an invaluable resource for all students of medieval literature and history.
