Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Discarded Image is a series of lectures, later collected for print, in which C. S. Lewis told of the Medieval worldview, or the System, as he calls it, and its effect on literature of the time (and a bit afterwards - Dante features as an example). Very useful.

But I Read a Book About It
 The Discarded Image / int_541e7371
comment
But I Read a Book About It: Lewis explains that in the Middle Ages there were no textbooks - bestiaries are not meant to teach about how animals actually behave, but how men ought, with a heavy dose of literary tradition that was chic to know. Same goes for maps and many other medieval writings. If you wanted a practical skill, you had to learn it from someone.

All Myths Are True

comment
All Myths Are True: Not true per se (you don't actually believe in Hermes and Athena, do you?), but the medievals tended to believe what they read, and what they had to read was eclectic.
