As the first woman, Eve was the pattern for all her daughters. The importance of readings of Eve for understanding how women were viewed at various times is a critical commonplace, but one which has been only narrowly investigated. This book systematically explores the different ways in which Eve was understood by Christians in antiquity and in the English Middle Ages, and it relates these understandings to female social roles. The result is an Eve more various than she is often depicted by scholars. Beginning with material from the bible, the Church Fathers and Jewish sources, the book goes on to look at a broad selection of medieval writing, including theological works and literary texts in Old and Middle English. In addition to dealing with famous authors such as Augustine, Aquinas, Dante and Chaucer, the writings of authors who are now less well-known, but who were influential in their time, are explored. The book allows readers to trace the continuities and discontinuities in the way Eve was portrayed over a millennium and a half, and as such it is of interest to those interested in women or the bible in the Middle Ages.

Download Visual Representations of Adam and Eve Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Throughout history, the story of Adam and Eve and the lost land of Eden has played a major role in the West on attitudes towards gender, sexuality, temptation and deceit. Visual spectacles of Adam and Eve could be found in nearly every cathedral by the 15th and 16th centuries across western Europe. The events from Genesis 1-3 were displayed within several illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages and even commissioned narratives for personal art during the latter half of the Renaissance. The works discussed in this thesis span from mosaics, painting, sculpture, and relief, to woodcuts and engravings. The artists and works mentioned have been examined and appropriated to the conventions and exegeses of the early Church fathers as well as the viewpoints of several western theologians. Through careful analysis, this study focuses on the detail, placement, and activeness of Adam, Eve, God and the evil serpent found within the images discussed. By taking a closer look at these powerful images from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the attitudes of the Church, patron and artist can be observed and interpreted
