- Description
- Surveys representations of the virtues and vices in western art and literature from Plato and Aristotle to C. S. Lewis and Paul Cadmus, offering excerpts and brief discussions of individual works. The section on medieval representations, "The Medieval Apex," includes a selection from ParsT (10.846-955, "Luxuria") in J. U. Nicolson's 1934 modern translation, and characterizes ParsT as an "excellent example" of a "pastoral sermon," a genre that is "meant to train people in the principles of penance, contrition, confession, and satisfaction or absolution."
