Elliott, Dyan
The Bride of Christ Goes to Hell

Metaphor and Embodiment in the Lives of Pious Women, 200-1500.

Following a long trajectory from late antiquity to the high Middle Ages, Dyan Elliott offers a provocative analysis of the changing religious, emotional, and sexual meanings of the metaphor of the sponsa Christi and of the increasing anxiety surrounding the somatization of female spirituality. 466 Seiten, gebunden (The Middle Ages Series/University of Pennsylvania Press 2012) textsauberes Exemplar mit leichten Gebrauchsspuren, berieben, Schnitt minimal angeschmutzt/clean text pages, minor traces of use, somewhat rubbed, book cut minimally soiled
