Europäische Literatur und lateinisches Mittelalter

Book • 1948
In this seminal work, Ernst Robert Curtius explores the continuity between classical and medieval literature, arguing against the traditional division of literary periods.

He discusses the cultural world of the Latin Middle Ages, the role of literature and education, and the concept of 'topoi' or commonplaces in medieval literature.

The book also examines the relationship between poetry and rhetoric, the function of the poetic figure of goddess Natura, and the interplay between theology and poetry among Italian writers of the 14th and 15th centuries.

Curtius's work emphasizes the importance of medieval Latin writings in understanding the foundations of modern European literature.
