The work embraces a number of different scholarly approaches, from codicological study to feminist theory. While some contributions are dedicated to the description and reconstruction of female lives of saints and their cults, others explore the broader ideological and cultural investments of the literature. The volume concentrates on four major areas: the female saint in the Old English Martyrology, genre including hagiography and homelitic writing, motherhood and chastity, and differing perspectives on lives of virgin martyrs. The essays reveal how saints' lives that exist on the apparent margins of orthodoxy actually demonstrate a successful literary challenge extending the idea of a holy life. 650 0 $a Christian literature, English (Old) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Christian literature, Latin (Medieval and modern) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English literature $y Old English, ca. 450-1100 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Women and literature $z England $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Christian hagiography $x History $y To 1500. 630 00 $a Martyrologium (Anglo-Saxon) 650 0 $a Christian women saints in literature. 650 0 $a Women in literature. 650 0 $a Mothers in literature. 700 1 $a Szarmach, Paul E, $e editor of compilation . 830 0 $a Toronto Anglo-Saxon series ; $v 14. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213013409.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5EA2EF408E3311E3B5D817AEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
