Saints' Lives in Middle English Collections

by E. Gordon Whatley, Anne B Thompson (Editor), Robert K Upchurch (Editor)

This volume is conceived as a complement to another Middle English Texts series text, Sherry Reames' Middle English Legends of Women Saints. This selection is intended to be broadly representative of saints' lives in Middle English and of the classic types of hagiographic legend as these were presented to the lay public and less-literate clergy of late medieval England.

This volume is an academic and historical discussion of the lives of eight saints based on writings from the Middle Ages. Those works are themselves examined and discussed.
