Sinossi
Excerpt from A Contribution to the Comparative Study of the Medieval Visions of Heaven and Hell
The present study represents the result of an attempt to com pare more closely than has hitherto been done the English medieval Visions of Heaven and Hell. The original plan was to specialize on one particular work (the Vision of St. Paul), and using it as a point of departure, to bring the other similar works into organic connection with it and with one another. Almost inevitably, however, the field for investigation grew broader and broader as the work went on; new and important points of con tact constantly presented themselves, and it very soon became evident that the study, in order to attain even a partial degree of completeness, could not be confined within the boundaries of England. In order to trace the incidents of the English visions back to their ultimate sources, it became imperative to consider carefully certain intermediate continental works in connection with them; and from these it was but a short step to the earlier and. More primitive works which constitute the foundation of medieval vision-literature.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an examination of the development of medieval Christian visions of heaven and hell, which were hugely influential on the development of European literature. The author traces the origins of these visions to Eastern and classical beliefs, exploring their evolution through the Old and New Testaments and apocryphal texts. By examining the visions of figures such as Bede and Aelfric, the author shows how these accounts of the afterlife provided a framework for understanding the relationship between life on Earth and the hereafter, as well as the nature of sin and punishment. Ultimately, the author argues, the vivid and often terrifying imagery of these visions played a significant role in shaping the medieval worldview and the development of European literature and thought.
