This project tracks the development of the incarnational hermeneutics of representation of the Virgin Mary in dramatic and poetic texts from the England, spanning a period from c. 1250 to c. 1470. With the turn toward affective piety in England, representations of the Virgin Mary took on a new focus: her link to questions of interpretation and understanding. This dissertation argues that, with increasing interest in an affective response to the Incarnation, representations of the Virgin began to emphasize her role as fostering understanding of the implications of God as embodied. Mary's own processes of interpreting and understanding the Incarnation often, but not exclusively, centered on understanding and interpreting her body itself, thus become a hermeneutic model for the faithful. My approach moves through several languages, genres, and literary periods. The first two chapters focus on poetic representations of Mary, and the second two center on performance in both a liturgical context and in a cycle drama. The central linking idea between the chapters is Mary's role in the Incarnation and how this role was figured in literary representations. I show how Mary acts as both Book and Reader: Mary interprets Jesus while the reader or listener interprets Mary as an approach to understanding and even in a sense manifesting the Incarnation. Indeed, it is this dual hermeneutic of Mary as interpreter and that which must be interpreted as it appears in English literature of the period that is the central argument of this project. In 1987 Bynum reminded us that "Much more work needs to be done on devotion to the Virgin in the later Middle Ages." A great deal of work on Mary has been done since Bynum's call to action, but much more remains, and this dissertation is a direct response to Bynum's admonition.
