| Zusammenfassung: | During the Middle Ages, the arresting motif of the walled garden - especially in its manifestation as a sacred or love-inflected hortus conclusus - was a common literary device. Usually associated with the Virgin Mary or the Lady of popular romance, it appeared in myriad literary and iconographic forms, largely for its aesthetic, decorative and symbolic qualities. This study focuses on the more complex metaphysical functions and meanings attached to it between 1100 and 1400 - and, in particular, those associated with the gardens of Eden and the Song of Songs. Drawing on contemporary theories of gender, gardens, landscape and space, it traces specifically the resurfacing and reworking of the idea and image of the enclosed garden within the writings of medieval holy women and other female-coded texts. In so doing, it presents the enclosed garden as generator of a powerfully gendered hermeneutic imprint within the medieval religious imaginary - indeed, as an alternative "language" used to articulate those highly complex female-coded approaches to God that came to dominate late-medieval religiosity. The book also responds to the "eco-turn" in our own troubled times that attempts to return the non-human to the centre of public and private discourse. The texts under scrutiny therefore invite responses as both literary and "garden" spaces where form often reflects content, and where their authors are also diligent "gardeners": the apocryphal Lives of Adam and Eve, for example; the horticulturally-inflected Hortus Deliciarum of Herrad of Hohenburg and the "green" philosophies of Hildegard of Bingen's Scivias; the visionary writings of Gertrude the Great and Mechthild of Hackeborn collaborating within their Helfta nunnery; the Middle English poem, Pearl; and multiple reworkings of the deeply problematic and increasingly sexualized garden enclosing the biblical figure of Susanna |

Brewer 2021 1 Online-Ressource (xiii, 385 Seiten) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Nature and environment in the Middle Ages 4 During the Middle Ages, the arresting motif of the walled garden - especially in its manifestation as a sacred or love-inflected hortus conclusus - was a common literary device. Usually associated with the Virgin Mary or the Lady of popular romance, it appeared in myriad literary and iconographic forms, largely for its aesthetic, decorative and symbolic qualities. This study focuses on the more complex metaphysical functions and meanings attached to it between 1100 and 1400 - and, in particular, those associated with the gardens of Eden and the Song of Songs. Drawing on contemporary theories of gender, gardens, landscape and space, it traces specifically the resurfacing and reworking of the idea and image of the enclosed garden within the writings of medieval holy women and other female-coded texts. In so doing, it presents the enclosed garden as generator of a powerfully gendered hermeneutic imprint within the medieval religious imaginary - indeed, as an alternative "language" used to articulate those highly complex female-coded approaches to God that came to dominate late-medieval religiosity. The book also responds to the "eco-turn" in our own troubled times that attempts to return the non-human to the centre of public and private discourse. The texts under scrutiny therefore invite responses as both literary and "garden" spaces where form often reflects content, and where their authors are also diligent "gardeners": the apocryphal Lives of Adam and Eve, for example; the horticulturally-inflected Hortus Deliciarum of Herrad of Hohenburg and the "green" philosophies of Hildegard of Bingen's Scivias; the visionary writings of Gertrude the Great and Mechthild of Hackeborn collaborating within their Helfta nunnery; the Middle English poem, Pearl; and multiple reworkings of the deeply problematic and increasingly sexualized garden enclosing the biblical figure of Susanna Herrad von Landsberg 1125-1195 (DE-588)118549901 gnd rswk-swf Hildegard Bingen, Äbtissin, Heilige 1098-1179 (DE-588)118550993 gnd rswk-swf Mechthild von Hackeborn 1241-1299 (DE-588)118732439 gnd rswk-swf Gertrud von Helfta, Heilige 1256-1302 (DE-588)118691007 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1100-1400 gnd rswk-swf Literature, Medieval / History and criticism Literature, Medieval / Women authors / History and criticism Women in literature Gardens in literature Christianity in literature Enclosed garden (Allegory) Christian art and symbolism / Medieval, 500-1500 Gardens / Religious aspects / Christianity Frömmigkeit (DE-588)4018672-6 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Ikonographie (DE-588)4026535-3 gnd rswk-swf Mystik (DE-588)4041003-1 gnd rswk-swf Frauenorden (DE-588)4123224-0 gnd rswk-swf Garten Motiv (DE-588)4121310-5 gnd rswk-swf Hortus conclusus (DE-588)4729180-1 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Hortus conclusus (DE-588)4729180-1 s Garten Motiv (DE-588)4121310-5 s Ikonographie (DE-588)4026535-3 s Geschichte 1100-1400 z DE-604 Herrad von Landsberg 1125-1195 (DE-588)118549901 p Hildegard Bingen, Äbtissin, Heilige 1098-1179 (DE-588)118550993 p Gertrud von Helfta, Heilige 1256-1302 (DE-588)118691007 p Mechthild von Hackeborn 1241-1299 (DE-588)118732439 p Frauenorden (DE-588)4123224-0 s Frömmigkeit (DE-588)4018672-6 s Mystik (DE-588)4041003-1 s Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-1-84384-598-0 https://doi.org/10.1017/9781800103078 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
