The Liminality of Conversion: Transubstantiation, Metaphor and Vision in The Croxton Play of the Sacrament

Panel: 
Medieval Literature
Abstract: 

The classic narrative of host desecration ends with the punishment of the Jew and the cultic triumph of the Eucharist. The Croxton Play of the Sacrament diverges from this prototype thus highlighting metaphorical regeneration as seen in the consecration and the final conversion sequence.
