Description
The Discarded Image: An Introduction to Medieval and Renaissance Literature by C. S. Lewis provides a clear understanding of the medieval world view, its historical and cultural context, and its impact on the literature of the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
This book offers a comprehensive overview of the 'image' that was discarded by later years, describing the medieval synthesis as a complex and harmonious mental model of the universe. Written by Lewis's last author, this work has been widely praised for its insight into the work of a great scholar and teacher.
Published in 2012, this reprint edition of The Discarded Image is a valuable resource for anyone interested in medieval and Renaissance literature, history, and cultural studies.
