Judas in literature

[quink]

I'm writing a dissertation on Judas in literature, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of books, plays, poems, etc in which he appears?

:)

he appears in Dante's Inferno... and probably numerous other books... but I can't remember them.

[imthefoolonthehill]

or at least he is refered to... I don't think he has any lines or anything.

do i understand correclty that you are actually writing a dissertation on the topic you read nothing about?... :eek:
perhaps Judas Iscariot by Andrey Leonidov might help you...

although, i have no idea if there is a translation into English.

I'm a Religious Studies and English literature student, and I thought I'd combine the two by writing a dissertation on the appearance of Judas in literature, and what he signifies in these appearances, his meaning today, etc.

I've done a lot of reading, and I've found plenty of material - I was just hoping that people would be able to point out appearances to me that I may have missed or not found yet.

I've heard of the book you're referring to and am currently trying to get hold of it.

ah, ok. i misinterpreted your first post.

No problem. Thanks for the suggestion. The book appears to be little hard to get hold of, but hopefully I should be able to get a copy soon. :)

i hope so as well: the book is definitely worth reading. =]
