商品簡介
Clutterbuck (English, Abbotsleigh School, Sydney) examines how the anonymous medieval Crucifixion lyrics, William Langland's Piers Plowman , John Donne's Divine Poems, and John Milton's Paradise Lost employ language to construct a sense of encounter with God. She has chosen these as the only major English poems that both use a stable persona to depict an individual encounter with God, and take a public approach to the encounter, with their climaxes depicting one or more of the central moments of salvation history. While the medieval lyrics depict an anonymous meditator and focus on the loving figure of the crucified Christ, she finds that the later poems use highly individual personae and depict God as Creator, Trinity, Paraclete, or Judge as well as loving Redeemer.
