"From feasts to fashion, awareness of the medieval quotidian has proven vital to interpreting
its literature. Authors and audiences may yearn for transcendence, only to find it
rooted to the social world of practice. As Jill Mann reminds us in 1979, a time when
patristic, theologically grounded schools of criticism seemed predominant: "The material
world is not merely a vehicle for expressing the immaterial, but on the contrary contains
the heart of its meaning and its mystery." Allegory is bound inextricably to its literal
level. Without a text there is no meaning to be hidden, these signifiers derived from
everyday practice. Circumstances of existence-material details, everyday life-pervade
author, text, and audience alike, and these are crucial to bridging the interpretive
gap between then and now"
