In \u003ci\u003ePoetry Does Theology\u003c\/i\u003e, Jim Rhodes seeks one answer to that question by analyzing the symbiotic relationship that existed between theology and poetry in fourteenth-century England. He pays special attention to the narrative poems of Chaucer, Grosseteste, the Pearl-poet, the author of Saint Erkenwald, and Langland. Rhodes shows that Chaucer and his contemporaries wrote at the end of a linguistic and theological revolution-a time when revised perspectives on the creation and incarnation gave rise to a new humanistic spirit that transformed late medieval theological culture and spurred the development of vernacular theology and poetry. Rhodes' careful analysis describes how the relationship between theology and poetry underwent a radical transformation as the latter half of the fourteenth century progressed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Notre Dame Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47590870483095,"sku":"9780268038694","price":6879.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780268038694.webp?v=1774970841","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/poetry-does-theology-chaucer-grosseteste-and-the-pearl-poet-9780268038694","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
