Sacred and Profane in Chaucer and Late Medieval Literature

Essays in Honour of John V. Fleming

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Using late Medieval English literature, including some of Chaucer's writings, the essays in this collection do not try to define a secular realm distinct and separate from the divine or religious, but instead analyze intersections of the sacred and the profane, suggesting that these two categories are mutually constitutive rather than antithetical.
