The Literature of Unlikeness
Book information
Description
In the book I try to explore the theme of unlikeness as it appears in Saint Augustine and to examine its consequences for selected works of medieval literature. If the theme does not offer a unified field theory for medieval literature, it was nevertheless a persistent idea, and it offers some light on the work of such diverse figures as the authors of 'Beowulf', 'The Apocalypse of Golias', and the 'Roman de la Rose', as well as Chrétien de Troyes and Chaucer, perhaps even Malory.
