This research paper: A 3 page essay that discusses this thirteenth century poetry. Gonzalo de Berceo, thirteenth century Spanish poet, focused on the subject of the Virgin Mary and her importance to Christian worship in his text Milagros de Nuestra Senora (Miracles of Our Lady). Berceo begins with an elaborate allegory that pictures him as a pilgrim finding a field that he describes in a manner that immediately equates it with Paradise and the Garden of Eden. In this new "Eden," it is Mary who is the new "Eve." This allegorical beginning is the principal theme of Berceo's work, as he describes Mary as the central symbol of the new age brought about by Christianity. Just as Eve caused the downfall of humanity, the Virgin is instrumental in its redemption. No additional sources cited.
