| adam_text | This book offers a new perspective on the otherworlds oí medieval
literature. These fantastical realms are among the most memorable places in
medieval writing, by turns beautiful and monstrous, alluring and terrifying.
Passing over a river or sea, or entering into a hollow hill, heroes come upon
strange and magical realms.These places are often very beautiful, filled with
sweet music and adorned with precious stones and rich materials. There
is often no darkness, time may pass at a different pace, and the people who
dwell there are usually supernatural. Sometimes such a place is exactly what
if appears to be—the land of heart s desire. But, the othervvorld can also have
a sinister side, trapping humans and keeping them there against their will.
Ofítmeorlík Finí tas va mi History in Med/mtl Lifcmfmv takes a fresh look at
how medieval writers understood these places and why they found them
so compelling. It focuses on texts from England, but places this material in
the broader context of literary production in medieval Britain and Ireland.
The narratives examined in this book tell a rather surprising story about
medieval notions of these fantastical places. Otherworlds are actually a lot
less other՝ than they might initially seem. Authors often use the idea of
the othervvorld to comment on very serious topics. It is not unusual for
othervvorld depictions to address political issues in the historical world.
Most intriguing of all are those texts where locations in the real world
are re-imagined as otherworlds.The regions on which this book focuses,
Britain, Ireland, and the surrounding islands, prove particularly
susceptible to this characterization.
