Composed mainly in Latin and subsequently in Old English, biblical versification has much to tell us about the interpretations, genres preferences, reading habits, and pedagogical aims of medieval Christian readers. Biblical Epics in Late Antiquity and Anglo-Saxon England provides an accessible introduction to biblical epic poetry. Patrick McBrine's erudite analysis of the writings of Juvencus, Cyprianus, Arator, Bede, Alcuin and more, reveals the development of a hybridized genre of writing that informed and delighted its Christian audiences to such an extent it was copied and promoted for the better part of a millennium. The volume contains many first-time readings and discussions of poems and passages which have long lain dormant and offers new evidence for the reception of the Bible in late Antiquity and the Middle Ages."-- $c Provided by publisher. 630 00 $a Bible $x History $x History $y Middle Ages, 600-1500. 630 00 $a Bible $x In literature. 630 07 $a Bible. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01356024 650 0 $a Epic poetry, Latin $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Christian poetry, Latin $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Christianity and literature $z England $x History $y To 1500. 650 7 $a Christian poetry, Latin. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00859448 650 7 $a Christianity and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00859681 650 7 $a Epic poetry, Latin. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913954 650 7 $a Literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999953 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Toronto Anglo-Saxon series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710062433.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C85D03A2FAD211E7A45C351A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
