Saints And Monsters In Medieval French And Occitan Literature : Sublime And Abject Bodies - 9781781884904

From rubbery martyrs to wraith-like ascetics, and from pestilential dragons to troublesome giants, the bodies that fascinated the Middle Ages increasingly inform theoretical debates concerning corporeality. Saints and Monsters draws on notions of the 'sublime' and the 'abject' to explore the role played by these holy and unholy bodies.
