Beskrivning

An examination of typology about place in relation to the Virgin Mary.This book takes a fresh look at some of the seemingly tired images of the Virgin Mary across the medieval and early Golden Age period in Hispanic literatures. It explores the Virgin as a gateway and as a Temple, as a garden and asa fountain, as a scented space, and as a strong defensive place (fortress or castle wall). It also explores her as a home and as a nuptial bedchamber, and sets these images in the context of known liturgical usage in medieval andearly modern Spain. LESLEY TWOMEY is Professor of Medieval and Golden Age Art and Literature at Northumbria University. She is the author of several books about peninsular Marian literature.

Recensioner i media

Twomey's readings are illuminating as commentaries on the works under scrutiny and as examples of a creative methodology, an approach that interprets space as a medium of characterization.
