| Summary: | Since the appearance of his first study of the early German accounts of the Biblical Fall in 1972, Brian Murdoch has established himself as the doyen of the medieval Adam book. In dozens of essays, he has pursued the theme in the most diverse texts throughout the literatures of Europe. Recently, he has sought to draw together the fruits of this life’s work in a series of monographs providing overviews of key aspects. Adam's Grace (2000) examined the ramifications of the Biblical story of creation and fall for medieval literature, beginning with the retellings of the life of Adam and leading from there into a reinterpretation of great works of courtly literature in the light of this tradition. |
