The essays in this collection explore the concept of
'transubstantiation', its adaptations and transformations in
English and European culture from the Elizabethans to the twentieth
century. Favoring an interartistic and comparative perspective, a
wide range of critical approaches, from the philosophical to the
semiological, from cultural materialism to gender and queer
studies, are brought to bear on authors ranging from Descartes,
Shakespeare and Joyce, to Macpherson, Madox Ford, and Winterson, as
well as on contemporary sculpture and an Italian adaptation of
Conrad for the screen in an unusually comic vein. The volume,
edited by Douglas Burnham of Staffordshire University and by Enrico
Giaccherini of Pisa University, will be of interest to those
concerned with the cultural history of Christianity and with the
remarkable critical and theoretical insights generated by
contemporary approaches to this traditional theme.
