Julian of Norwich's Legacy
Author: S. Salih
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 0230101623
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
Julian of Norwich the best-known of the medieval mystics today. The text of her Revelation has circulated continually since the fifteenth century, but the twentieth century saw a massive expansion of her popularity. Theological or literary-historical studies of Julian may remark in passing on her popularity, but none have attempted a detailed study of her reception. This collection fills that gap: it outlines the full reception history from the extant manuscripts to the present day, looking at Julian in devotional cultures, in modernist poetry and present-day popular literature, and in her iconography in Norwich, both as a pilgrimage site and a tourist attraction.

Vernacular and Latin Literary Discourses of the Muslim Other in Medieval Germany
Author: J. Frakes
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 0230119190
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
Little attention has been focused the representation of Muslims in medieval Germany. Proceeding from a grounded use of contemporary cultural theory and close textual analysis, this study focuses Muslims in several core texts representing drama, epic, and lyric written by the most important writers of medieval Germany. Far from simply adding medieval Germany to the growing scholarly list of the 'pre-post-colonializing' European cultures, the study provides important new perspectives.
