Meer over het boek

Exploring the philosophical challenges surrounding death in medieval England, the book examines how literature navigates the tension between the belief that language can connect with the dead and the logical assertion that it cannot. D. Vance Smith highlights three key historical moments from 900 to 1500, analyzing Body and Soul poems, the metaphor of the crypt, and the archive as a means of grappling with dying. The work offers insights into medieval and literary studies while engaging with broader themes in phenomenology and continental philosophy.
