Devotional Culture in Late Medieval England and Europe: Diverse Imaginations of Christ's Life: 31 (Medieval Church Studies) - Hardcover
Christ's life, as related through the Gospel narratives and early Apocrypha, was subject to a riot of literary-devotional adaptation in the medieval period. This collection provides a series of groundbreaking studies centring on the devotional and cultural significance of Christianity's pivotal story during the Middle Ages. The collection represents an important milestone in terms of mapping the meditative modes of piety that characterize a number of Christological traditions, including the Meditationes vitae Christi and the numerous versions it spawned in both Latin and the vernacular. A number of chapters in the volume track how and why meditative piety grew in popularity to become a mode of spiritual activity advised not only to recluses and cenobites as in the writings of Aelred of Rievaulx, but also reached out to diverse lay audiences through the pastoral regimens prescribed by devotional authors such as the Carthusian prior Nicholas Love in England and the Parisian theologian and chancellor of the University of Paris, Jean Gerson. Through exploring these texts from a variety of perspectives--theoretical, codicological, theological--and through tracing their complex lines of dissemination in ideological and material terms, this collection promises to be invaluable to students and scholars of medieval religious and literary culture.

Review:
"...Kelly and Perry's collection maps the way forward for work on medieval religious culture and fifteenth-century studies alike. While most immediately relevant to scholars working with late-medieval English texts, the paths cleared here open up new vistas across disciplines." --Elizabeth Schirmer, New Mexico State University, The Medieval Review 16.05.11
