Customer Reviews

Righteous heathens or virtuous pagans - classical or other non-Christian figures whose reputation for virtue evoked the admiration of medieval writers and provoked anxious speculation about the possibility of their salvation - feature prominently in a wide variety of late-medieval English texts, and this book surveys their appearances in travel literature, chronicles, romances, and sermons, as well as in the work of Langland, Chaucer and Gower, Representing Righteous Heathens in Medieval England is not just a taxonomy; Grady argues throughout the interest in virtuous pagans is much more than just an outgrowth of contemporary theological debates and that English used these figures to explore a variety of historical, cultural and formal literary issues.
