En savoir plus sur le livre

The book delves into the intricate relationship between sacred and secular elements in medieval literature, introducing the concept of "crossover" as a mode of interaction rather than a distinct genre. Barbara Newman highlights principles such as the hermeneutics of "both/and" and double judgment, illustrating how pagan and Christian themes converge, particularly in Arthurian and hagiographic romances. Through diverse case studies in French, English, and Latin texts, Newman effectively showcases the relevance of the crossover concept as a vital analytical tool for understanding medieval literary dynamics.
