Bøker av Theresa Tinkle

The author analyzes the transformations of the love deities in later Middle English Chaucerian poetry, academic Latin discourses on classical myth, and French conventions that associate Venus and Cupid with Ovidian arts of love.

After establishing a feminist-historicist perspective on the tradition of biblical commentary, Tinkle develops in-depth case studies that situate scholars reading the bible in three distinct historical moments, and in so doing she exposes the cultural pressures that medieval scholars felt as they interpreted the bible.
