Medieval Religion and its Anxieties: History and Mystery in the Other Middle Ages: 2016 (The New Middle Ages)
Author: Thomas A. FudgéPublisher: Palgrave MacMillanCategory: Literary Theory, Literary Studies: General, Literary Studies: Classical, Early & Medieval, European History, Medieval History, History Of Religion, Society & Culture: GeneralBook Format: PaperbackThis book examines the broad varieties of religious belief, religious practices, and the influence of religion within medieval society. Religion in the Middle Ages was not monolithic. Medieval religion and the Latin Church are not synonymous. While theology and liturgy are important, an examination of animal trials, gargoyles, last judgments, various aspects of the medieval underworld, and the quest for salvation illuminate lesser known dimensions of religion in the Middle Ages. Several themes run throughout the book including visual culture, heresy and heretics, law and legal procedure, along with sexuality and an awareness of mentalities and anxieties. Although an expanse of 800 years has passed, the remains of those other Middle Ages can be seen today, forcing us to reassess our evaluations of this alluring and often overlooked past.
Thomas A. Fudgé is Professor of Medieval History at the University of New England, Australia. Author of thirteen books, he is recognized as an international authority on Jan Hus and Hussite history.
