Expressions Of Religious Thought And Feeling In The Chansons De Geste

By Marianna Gildea

Book Overview

Expressions of Religious Thought and Feeling in the Chansons de Geste is a book written by Marianna Gildea. The book explores the religious themes and motifs in the chansons de geste, a genre of medieval French epic poems that were popular from the 11th to the 15th centuries. Gildea examines how the poems express religious beliefs, attitudes, and values, and how they reflect the religious culture of medieval France. She also analyzes the ways in which the chansons de geste incorporate religious symbolism, imagery, and language to convey their messages. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of medieval literature, religion, and culture, as well as for anyone interested in the history of French literature and the role of religion in medieval society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
