Where do we go after we die? This book traces how the European
Middle Ages offered distinctive answers to this universal question,
evolving from Antiquity through to the sixteenth century, to
reflect a variety of problems and developments. Focussing on texts
describing visions of the afterlife, alongside art and theology,
this volume explores heaven, hell, and purgatory as they were
imagined across Europe, as well as by noted authors including
Gregory the Great and Dante. A cross-disciplinary team of
contributors including historians, literary scholars, classicists,
art historians and theologians offer not only a fascinating sketch
of both medieval perceptions and the wide scholarship on this
question: they also provide a much-needed new perspective. Where
the twelfth century was once the 'high point' of the medieval
afterlife, the essays here show that the afterlives of the early
and later Middle Ages were far more important and imaginative than
we once thought.
