Theater of the Word

Sheds light on medieval constructions of the self as they emerge from within a deeply sacramental culture. The book examines the medieval morality play, a genre that addresses the question of what it means to be human and takes up the ritual traditions of confession and penance, long associated with medieval interiority, as its primary subjects.

Arunca lumina asupra constructiilor medievale ale sinelui, pe masura ce apar din interiorul unei culturi profund sacramentale. Cartea examineaza piesa de morala medievala, un gen care abordeaza problema a ceea ce inseamna a fi om si preia traditiile rituale ale marturisirii si penitentei, asociate de mult cu interioritatea medievala, ca subiecte principale.
