Desire Against the Law: The Juxtaposition of Contraries in Early Medieval Spanish Literature - Figurae: Reading Medieval Culture
James F. Burke
The churches and manuscripts of medieval Europe incessantly juxtapose imagery depicting sacred themes with likenesses of the crudest and basest nature. Drawing on the contrast between Bakhtin's concepts of the carnivalesque and the domain of the law, this book examines such opposites in six major works of pre-1350 Spanish literature.
