- Description
- Brandolino examines reciprocity between faith and interiority in a number of late medieval English vernacular texts, including WBPT and SNT. After 1215, when Pope Innocent III "issued a decree requiring all Christians . . . to make an annual private confession," works such as saints' lives, "contemplative and meditative texts," and lyrics demonstrated an irreconcilable gap between "institutional faith and interiority."
