In this 2001 book, Ananya Jahanara Kabir presents an investigation into the Anglo-Saxon belief in the 'interim paradise': paradise as a temporary abode for good souls following death and pending the final decisions of Doomsday. She locates the origins of this distinctive sense of paradise within early Christian polemics, establishes its Anglo-Saxon development as a site of contestation and compromise, and argues for its post-Conquest transformation into the doctrine of purgatory. In ranging across Old English prose and poetry as well as Latin apocrypha, exegesis, liturgy, prayers and visions of the otherworld, and combining literary criticism with recent scholarship in early medieval history, early Christian theology and history of ideas, this book is essential reading for scholars of Anglo-Saxon England, historians of Christianity, and all those interested in the impact of the Anglo-Saxon period on the later Middle Ages. 410 0$aCambridge studies in Anglo-Saxon England ;$v32. 517 3 $aParadise, Death & Doomsday in Anglo-Saxon Literature 606 $aEnglish literature$yOld English, ca. 450-1100$xHistory and criticism 606 $aParadise in literature 606 $aChristianity and literature$zEngland$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aChristian literature, English (Old)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJudgment Day in literature 606 $aAnglo-Saxons$xReligion 606 $aDeath in literature 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aParadise in literature. 615 0$aChristianity and literature$xHistory 615 0$aChristian literature, English (Old)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJudgment Day in literature. 615 0$aAnglo-Saxons$xReligion. 615 0$aDeath in literature. 676 $a829.09/38236 700 $aKabir$b Ananya Jahanara$f1970-$0599783 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455348003321 996 $aParadise, death and doomsday in anglo-saxon literature$91021515 997 $aUNINA
