According to the author, this study reveals "how mysticism was the religious, and subsequently the artistic, basis of later symbolic and allegorical expression in English medieval literature." He analyzes the paradox of the literary mystical text within the context of English medieval literature and shows how efforts to express the mystical experience through the use of rhetorical devices led to conventionality and formalism. Jenkins teaches English at Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
