The Middle English Charters of Christ (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book analyzes and classifies the various Middle English literary texts known as the Charters of Christ. Exploring the complex relationship between the rhetoric and format of legal charters and the allegory of Christ's sacrifice for humanity, the author traces the evolution of the Charter of Christ from its earliest known incarnation as a Latin prose document through its later development into an extensive Middle English verse form. The Charter is shown to incorporate elements of both legal and religious language, and to draw on the historical evolution of the charter form as well as upon the language of the Church.
