About the book
About The Literature of Hope in the Middle Ages And Today
"The romances of the Middle Ages were written in times of social upheaval. In all three genres, the storytellers draw on the same archetypes--the hero, the quest, the transformation. This book explores the connections between the three genres. Analysis reveals similarities in images, structures, and the pervasive belief that a perfectible universe is within man's capabilities"--Provided by publisher.
