5.0 out of 5 stars Didactic contradiction..., June 17, 2009
By 
This review is from: Contrary Things: Exegesis, Dialectic, and the Poetics of Didacticism (Figurae: Reading Medieval Culture) (Hardcover)
Dr. Brown's work explores, through cultural poetics, the practice of teaching and learning by means of contradiction. She examines a variety of «canonical» texts of the Middle Ages in order to penetrate their complexities. Dr. Brown can be counted among an emerging group of scholars who have chosen to celebrate and embrace the complexities of culture and, while contemplating the detail and the full canvas equally, leaves all of her discoveries on the table to be perceived and contemplated conjointly. Her approach allows the reader to touch upon the detail without losing sight of its integral connectedness.
