At the very heart of Christian doctrine and late medieval practice
was the image of the crucified Christ. Sarah Beckwith examines the
social meaning of this image across a range of key devotional
English texts, using insights from anthropology and cultural
studies.
The image of the crucified Christ, she argues, acted as a place
where the tensions between the sacred and the profane, the
individual and the collective, were played out. The medieval
obsession with the contours of Christ's body functioned to
challenge and transform social and political relations.
A fascinating and challenging book of interest not only to
students of medieval literature, but also to cultural historians
and women's studies specialists.
