| Publisher Description: "(Em)bodying the Word" contributes to the field of work on the body by exploring three Calvinist martyrological narratives (Crespin, D'Aubigne and de Beze) and one Anglican text (Foxe) to elucidate the relationships among theological and literary treatments of the body, word and image. Coats distinguishes between Catholic hagiographical accounts and Protestant -martyrologies, - specifying the privileging of word over image or body as the primary difference. This reliance on word, while a tributary of Calvinism, is also a major factor in the development of a Calvinist aesthetic. The study therefore explores four works from a new angle, that of literary and theological interpretation." |
