    Softcover/Paperback. Zustand: Fine. This book explores the influence of literacy on eleventh and twelfth-century life and though on social organization on the criticism of ritual and symbol on the rise of empirical attitudes on the relationship between language and reality and on the broad interaction between ideas and society. Medieval and early modern literacy Brian Stock argues did not simply supersede oral discourse but created a new type of interdependence between the oral and the written. If on the surface medieval culture was largely oral texts nonetheless emerged as a reference system both for everyday activities and for giving shape to larger vehicles of interpretation. Even when texts were not actually present people often acted and behaved as if they were. The book uses methods derived from anthropology from literary theory and from historical research and is divided into five chapters. The first treats the growth and shape of medieval literacy itself. Theo other four look afresh at some of the period's major issues--heresy reform the Eucharistic controversy the thought of Anselm Abelard and St. Bernard together with the interpretation of contemporary experience--in the light of literacy's development. The study concludes that written language was the chief integrating instrument for diverse cultural achievements. | Pages: 624.
