Characteristics of Medieval Literature

  • Heroism
    • from both Germanic and Christian traditions, sometimes mingled
  • Presentations of idealized behavior
    • literature as moral lesson
      • loyalty to king
      • chivalry
  • use of kennings
    • A figurative, usually compound expression used in place of a name or noun. Example, storm of swords is a kenning for battle.

Characteristics of Medieval Literature – Use of Allegory

  • An allegory is a figurative mode of representation conveying a meaning other than the literal.
  • Much of medieval literature relied on allegory to convey the morals the author had in mind while writing--representations of abstract qualities, events, and institutions are thick in much of the literature of this time.
  • We’ll read Dante’s Inferno this quarter – a classic example of medieval allegory!
