Divine Ventriloquism in Medieval English Literature: Power, Anxiety, Subversion (The New Middle Ages)

Divine Ventriloquism in Medieval English Literature: Power, Anxiety, Subversion (The New Middle Ages)

by Mary Hayes (Author)

Synopsis

A study of medieval attitudes towards the ventriloquism of God's and Christ's voices through human media, which reveals a progression from an orthodox view of divine vocal power to an anxiety over the authority of the priest's voice to a subversive take on the divine voice that foreshadows Protestant devotion.
