Gender, anti-Semitism and temporality in medieval biblical drama

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

An important re-theorisation of medieval gender and anti-Semitism, centring biblical drama as a source of evidence for lay attitudes towards scriptural time. Interrogating the Christian preoccupation with a superseded Jewish past, the book asks how this model is subverted by characters who experience time differently.
