Medieval Literary Criticism

Study the following pages carefully:

• St. Augustine, "Gold out of Egypt" and "Figurative Language"

• The Image of the Kernel and the Husk

• St. Paul on the Spirit and the Letter

Then please read through these texts on medieval allegory, carefully.

Bring these texts to class with you. I'll provide some short readings. So, no writing assignment -- but this won't work unless you do read these texts carefully.
