Conversations with Angels: Essays Towards a History of Spiritual Communication, 1100-1700

by Joad Raymond

Book Overview

Based on refractions of earlier beliefs, modern angels - at once terrible and comforting, frighteningly other and reassuringly beneficent - have acquired a powerful symbolic value. This interdisciplinary study looks at how humans conversed with angels in medieval and early modern Europe, and how they explained and represented these conversations.
