"Allegories of War" explores the intersection of spirituality and violence in Old English poetry. With its emphasis on the relationship between good and evil, 'ecclesia' and 'synagoga', soul and body, and spirit and letter, it is one of the first studies to bring a broad range of contemporary critical tools including exegetics, psychoanalysis, and deconstruction to the study of medieval literature.
