What
happens when
poetry deals explicitly with a serious theological issue? In Poetry
Does Theology, Jim Rhodes seeks one answer to that question by
analyzing
the symbiotic relationship that existed between theology and poetry in
fourteenth-century England. He pays special attention to the narrative
poems of Chaucer, Grosseteste, the Pearl-poet, the author of Saint
Erkenwald,
and Langland.
Rhodes
shows that
Chaucer and his contemporaries wrote at the end of a linguistic and
theological
revolution - a time when revised perspectives on the creation and
incarnation
gave rise to a new humanistic spirit that transformed late medieval
theological
culture and spurred the development of vernacular theology and poetry.
Rhodes' careful analysis describes how the relationship between
theology
and poetry underwent a radical transformation as the latter half of the
fourteenth century progressed.
