Elf Queens and Holy Friars

Fairy Beliefs and the Medieval Church

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Starting from the assumption of a far greater cultural gulf between the learned and the lay in the medieval world than between rich and poor, Elf Queens explores the church's systematic campaign to demonize fairies and infernalize fairyland and the responses this provoked in vernacular romance.
