Tasting Religious Thought and Experience in Late-Medieval English Literature

Description

Tasting Religious Thought and Experience in Late-Medieval English Literature examines vernacular authors' expression of religious experience and theology through metaphors of food and consumption.
It explores how this practice-which the author terms “alimentary theology”-offers a window into the embodied, social, and experiential nature of late medieval religion at a time of swift religious and linguistic change in England.
