Böcker av Alastair Minnis

In From Eden to Eternity, Alastair Minnis argues that Eden afforded an extraordinary amount of creative space to late medieval theologians, painters, and poets as they tried to understand the place that God had deemed worthy of the creature made in His image.

Alastair Minnis reveals Chaucer's Pardoner and Wife of Bath as interconnected aspects of a radical literary experiment, wherein the relationship between objective authority and subjective fallibility is confronted as never before.

Available again with a new preface, this classic work of medieval literary scholarship argues that discussion of late-medieval literary works has tended to derive its critical vocabulary from modern, not medieval, theory, and offers instead a conceptual equipment which is at once historically valid and theoretically illuminating.
