Rebel angels

Space and sovereignty in Anglo-Saxon England

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the â fall of the angelsâ tradition in early medieval sermons, saintsâ lives, legal documents and Old English biblical poetry. It argues that Anglo-Saxon authors adapted apocryphal and patristic accounts in ways that allowed them to express their ideas concerning ecclesiastical and secular power. -- .
