Title: COMPANION TO MIDDLE ENGLISH HAGIOGRAPHY; ED. BY SARAH SALIH
Description: "This collection introduces the canon of Middle English hagiography; places it in the context of the cults of saints; analyses key themes within hagiographic narrative, including gender, power, violence and history; and, finally, shows how hagiographic themes survived the Reformation. Overall it offers both information for those coming to the genre for the first time, and points forward to new trends in research."--Jacket.
