The Wakefield Master. Gardner?s study points out the controlling allegorical scheme which organises the entire work ? a scheme involving, among other things, an ironic witchcraft metaphor, in which sinfully proud men (Herod, Pilate, and others), worshippers of the devil, view Christ as a warlock who must be condemned, though they themselves are in fact the witches. From Creation to Last Judgement, the Wakefield cycle treats biblical events as a feudal war between the true God, Christ (or the trinity), and the cosmic pretender, Satan, dramatising the theme of salvation coherently and powerfully.* A VG text copy with minor wear, library stamps and labels but no dust jacket.* 162 pp. 1974-06-01.…
