Whether the Middle Ages took up old myths again or forged new ones, they rarely escaped a confrontation with Christianity. Sometimes the Church asserted its supremacy over myth while using myth; sometimes laypeople developed their own spirituality or an ideology opposed to the Christian viewpoint.

Review - French Des specialistes de litterature comparee, d'histoire et de litterature medievales abordent la question inepuisable du mythe medieval a partir d'exemples ponctuels (une lettre de Pierre Damien, un poeme sur Henry VII Tudor) ou d'amples matieres (Troie, Alexandre, le Graal) sans separer l'analyse des documents de la reflexion generale. Ils retravaillent la notion de mythe litteraire et les distinctions entre mythe et mythologie, imaginaire et symbole. Leurs vues convergent sur les relations complexes entre mythe et christianisme : du cote de l'Eglise, conflit, recuperation ou inflechissement des croyances et des rites, construction d'une spiritualite non-clericale, voire d'une politique et d'une anthropologie non-chretiennes du cote laic.
