Summary

Drawing on scholastic defence of the Immaculate Conception and on liturgies in medieval Iberia, this book examines how poets took apocryphal stories and biblical figures, like Eve confronting the serpent, to express how Mary was preserved from original sin.

Author Biography

Lesley K. Twomey completed her doctorate on the topic of the Immaculate Conception in Castilian and Catalan poetry in 1995 and since then has published a number of articles on the subject. She is Head of the Department of Modern Languages at Northumbria University.
