Samson and Delilah in Medieval Insular French investigates several
different adaptations of the story of Samson that enabled it to
move from a strictly religious sphere into vernacular and secular
artworks. Catherine Leglu explores the narrative's translation into
French in medieval England, examining the multiple versions of the
Samson narrative via its many adaptations into verse, prose, visual
art and musical. Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, this text
draws together examples from several genres and media, focusing on
the importance of book learning to secular works. In analysing this
Biblical narrative, Leglu reveals the importance of the Samson and
Delilah story as a point of entry into a fuller understanding of
medieval translations and adaptations of the Bible.
