Description
Examines FrT and SumT in the "context of the late medieval vision of the afterlife," and argues that the "two tales tell how one is constantly in the dangerous liminal situation between damnation and salvation, between being physically ravished to hell by the devil and being carried to heaven by angels in mystical ravishment."
