Description

The importance of the imitation of Christ in late medieval English devotional culture has received a great deal of critical attention. This panel seeks to extend the discussion of imitatio Christi to the early modern period. The papers on this panel explore topics such as the intersection of literary imitation with devotional imitation and the rhetorical effects of imitatio Christi.
