Summary

"Ignoring the well-studied polemics of the Protestant reformers themselves, and arguing instead from the perspective of the new cognitive literary theory, Word vs Image: Cognitive Hunger in Shakespeare's England exposes the depth and breadth of the reformers' misunderstandings about how people could or could not reform their spiritual lives - how or if they could literally change their minds."--book jacket.
