What is The Ecstasy Of Catastrophe: A Study Of Apocalyptic Narrative From Langland To Milton (american University Studies) about?
The original meaning of apocalypse was «to uncover», particularly through the ecstasy of dream and vision. This first meaning has long been obscured by a second and derived meaning, one which emphasizes global destruction occasioned by end-time catastrophe. The Ecstasy of Catastrophe untangles apocalypse back into its elements of ecstasy on the one hand and catastrophe on the other for ten important Medieval and Renaissance texts: Piers Plowman, Pearl, Malory's Sankgreal and Morte, Spenser's Fae
