Description
Argues "that in early modern England the primary theoretical models by which poets understood how language means what it means were applications of
eucharistic theology." Opens with discussion of PardT, SumT, and Pearl "in the context of the debate between nominalists and realists," focusing on their "playful and creative eucharistic poetics" as precursors to early modern examples.
