Description

This scholarly examination explores how medieval English writers blended sacred biblical imagery with secular themes across centuries of literature. From Beowulf to Malory, the book demonstrates that the relationship between religious and worldly narratives operated in multiple directions - writers drew on biblical paradigms to illuminate secular stories, whilst also infusing religious texts with contemporary cultural concerns. Using codicological, psychoanalytic, feminist, and new historicist approaches, the study offers fresh interpretations of Middle English lyric poetry, the Gawain-poet's works, Chaucer's narratives, and Malory's romances. This Routledge publication reveals the structural and thematic complexity underlying how medieval authors navigated the intersection of faith and everyday life, making it essential reading for students and scholars of medieval literature and culture.
