Über dieses Buch
Love and anti-Judaism is a new examination of medieval romance for the questions it poses of the most significant events in Christian history. Providing new readings of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Sir Orfeo, Sir Gowther and Sir Amadace, the book argues that romance explores depictions of love—and the sacrifices it may necessitate—in the Hebrew Bible, especially where they do not easily fit into interpretations asserting that this history must prefigure Christ and the crucifixion. An examination of anti-Judaism as a discourse of violence and desire that could be turned inwardly to expose the irresolution in Christianity, this book will provoke new investigations into the religious crises of medieval romance.

Rezensionen
An immensely learned and thought-provoking exploration of the connections between love and religion in medieval romance, Doherty-Harrison’s approach takes the reader beyond conventional readings and opens up a rich world of theological complexity and ambivalence.
- Jacqueline Tasioulas, Professor of Medieval English & Scots, Clare College, University of Cambridge
This exhilarating study of Middle English romance investigates the genre’s complex attachments to Christian typology, and specifically to commentary on the Song of Songs and Abraham’s near-sacrifice of Isaac. In a series of nuanced and sophisticated readings, Doherty-Harrison proves medieval romances to be 'vivid narratives of typological confusion,' which use 'medieval Christianity’s most powerful normative structure…typological anti-Judaism' to explore ambivalent individual relations of love, violence, sacrifice, and doubt. This bracing, highly original book will surely transform the way we understand the relationship between Christian theology and courtly romance.
