The Liturgy of the Medieval Church
Medieval Institute Publications (Verlag)
978-1-58044-091-2 (ISBN)
This volume seeks to address the needs of teachers and advanced students who are preparing classes on the Middle Ages or who find themselves confounded in their studies by reference to the various liturgies that were fundamental to the lives of medieval peoples. In a series of essays, scholars of the liturgy examine "The Shape of the Liturgical Year," "Particular Liturgies," "The Physical Setting of the Liturgy," "The Liturgy and Books," and "Liturgy and the Arts." A concluding essay, which originated in notes left behind by the late C. Clifford Flanigan, seeks to open the field, to examine "liturgy" within the larger and more inclusive category of "ritual." "The essays are intended to be introductory but to provide the basic facts and the essential bibliography for further study. They approach particular problems assuming a knowledge of medieval Europe but little expertise in liturgical studies per se.
Thomas J. Heffernan is a Professor of English and the Director of the Humanities Center at the University of Tennessee Knocksville. His interests include British Literature and Medieval Studies.E. Ann Matter is a Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, specializing in Medieval Christianity.
