Sprechen mit Gott: Redeszenen in mittelalterlicher Bibeldichtung und Legende (Historische Dialogforschung, 2)

by Nine Miedema (editor), Angela Schrott (Editor), Monika Unzeitig (Editor)

Conversational scenes were among the most important elements of narrative texts – they fulfilled diverse narrative functions and were formulated with great care in medieval literature. Using a combination of linguistic and literary methods, the essays in this volume undertake an interdisciplinary and comparative examination of how texts from the 8th to the 16th century imagined and staged conversations with God.
