Bestul constructs the literary history of the Latin Passion narratives, placing them within their social, cultural, and historical contexts. He examines the ways in which the Passion is narrated and renarrated in devotional treatises, paying particular attention to the modifications and enlargements of the narrative of the Passion as it is presented in the canonical gospels. Of particular interest to Bestul are the representations of Jews, women, and the body of the crucified Christ. Bestul argues that the greatly enlarged role of the Jews in the Passion narratives of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries is connected to the rising anti-Judaism of the period. He explores how the representations of women, particularly the Virgin Mary, express cultural values about the place of women in late medieval society and reveal an increased interest in female subjectivity. 410 0$aMiddle Ages series. 606 $aChristian literature, Latin (Medieval and modern)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aDevotional literature, Latin (Medieval and modern)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and society$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aCivilization, Medieval, in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChristian literature, Latin (Medieval and modern)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aDevotional literature, Latin (Medieval and modern)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory. 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval, in literature. 676 $a232.96/094/0902 700 $aBestul$b Thomas H$g(Thomas Howard),$f1942-$01030705 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454952103321 996 $aTexts of the passion$92447735 997 $aUNINA
