- Adopting a variety of critical approaches, the fourteen essays range from detailed analyses of religious discourse to theoretical inquiries into the forces that shaped ideas of sanctity. Essays discuss representations of sainthood in the Middle Ages, the role of these representations in medieval culture and politics, and the relationship between gender and images of sainthood.
