Description
Duffield traces how Latin Christianity's greatest poets weaponized meter and metaphor to embed doctrine into unforgettable song, showing how medieval faith worked through rhythm and repetition rather than rational argument. These hymn-writers understood that belief lives in the body before it reaches the mind, making their technical mastery inseparable from their spiritual vision.
