medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture At the other extreme, I don't know any work that better addresses some of the poetics of medieval architecture and its iconography than Russell Hoban's extraordinary (and experimental) Riddley Walker. But, as it's set in a Dark Age several centuries in the future, in a Kent whose geography centres around the radioactive remains of the crypt to Anselm's Glorious Choir at Canterbury, don't expect much in the way of historical accuracy... It is a brilliant and wonderful book, however.
