Description

Explore the diverse ways medieval society conceptualized the divine in Imagining Heaven in the Middle Ages: A Book of Essays. This collection from the Garland Medieval Casebooks series examines how different eras and thinkers attempted to capture a glimpse of perfection. From the ethereal to the mundane, the text explores how heaven was viewed as both a personal goal for Christians and the ultimate end of the cosmic plan. Through a wide range of media, including maps, cathedrals, songs, treatises, poems, visions, and even sewer systems, this book investigates how artists, theologians, and visionaries struggled to define the divine. You will find varying interpretations that range from traditional views to unique perspectives. Depending on the source, the attributes of heaven shift between height and depth, darkness and light, and silence and symphony. This book is a deep look into the varied ways the medieval world understood the soul and the concept of perfection.
