• Sommario/riassunto: This scholarly work by Theresa Tinkle explores the depiction of Jesus Christ in Middle English literature from 1275 to 1475. It examines how various texts of the period portrayed Jesus as both a royal figure and a sacrificial lamb, reflecting complex theological and cultural perspectives. The book is part of 'The New Middle Ages' series, which focuses on medieval cultures with an emphasis on feminist and gender analyses. Intended for scholars and students of medieval studies, the book delves into Christological themes and the interplay between religious narratives and social values. Tinkle also addresses the influence of historical figures and events on the literary representations of Jesus, offering insights into medieval religious thought and its evolution.
