Description

Explore the profound social and spiritual significance of the crucified Christ in late medieval devotional practice through Sarah Beckwith's scholarly examination. This Routledge publication draws on anthropology and cultural studies to analyse how the image of Christ's body functioned as a nexus where sacred and profane, individual and collective dimensions intersected in English religious texts. Beckwith argues that medieval preoccupation with Christ's corporeal form served as a transformative force that reshaped both social hierarchies and political structures of the era. The book offers fresh insights into how devotional imagery shaped identity and community in late medieval society, making it essential reading for scholars of religious history, cultural studies and medieval literature.
